Quote

I grew up half the time in a small town called Mart, Texas, and half the time in L.A., because I was acting. My high school was crazy about football.

I grew up in Plano, Texas.

I'm from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there's no one in control.

I consider myself a Texan. I grew up in Texas and Oklahoma.

I knew more about Texas than the Texans and when they told me I would find summer here I smiled knowingly.

Saying you're from Texas makes you kind of proud.

I thought I knew Texas pretty well, but I had no notion of its size until I campaigned it.

I'm South American, and growing up in New York, I had the total stereotypical way of thinking of what Texas was about. I'm like, Texas. Big. Cows. Cowboys. Cowboy hats and cowboy boots. And barbeque.

Texas is as odd as it is vast.

The best thing about high school football in the state of Texas is the whole town shuts down, and there's shoe polish all over businesses and stores. Everyone rallies around you.
