I don't want to look like Connecticut, no offense, I don't want to look like Oklahoma, I don't want to look like California. I want to be uniquely Texas. And that's not to diss anybody else.

You know when you play Pictionary and someone draws a state? My biggest fear is that I'm not gonna know what state it is. I'm so bad at geography.

You can't worry about looks. It's about the inside at the end of the day because we're all going to get old and gray one day.

States seem to have a natural life cycle, and anything can occur to change them into something else, and that something might be no bad thing.

States are as the men, they grow out of human characters.
