"House of Cards" actress Robin Wright touted fleeing the U.S. Saturday after finding her new home abroad more enjoyable.

"America is a s---show," Wright told The Times of London.

The Golden Globe-winning actress has been working in the United Kingdom and spending time with her family.

"I love being in this country. There’s a freedom of self here. People are so kind," she said.

She elaborated, "They’re living. They’re not in the car in traffic, panicked on a phone call, eating a sandwich. That’s most of America. Everything’s rush, competition and speed."

Wright, 59, told The Times that she plans to rent a home on the English seaside with her family and dogs.

"It’s liberating to be done," she said. "Be done with searching, looking and getting 60 percent of what you wanted."

Wright isn't the first Hollywood celebrity to speak poorly of living in the U.S.
