I love Washington. I have an affection for the place. For a satirist, I think it's sort of Disneyland. I mean, you know, there's always some inspiration in the morning's headlines.

I love to go to Washington - if only to be near my money.

I love Martha's Vineyard, where I have had a house for thirty years. I have loved visiting countries around the world. But I always come home to Washington.

If anybody asks me where I'm from, my first inclination is to say, 'Washington,' because that's where I grew up meaningfully.

One of my favorite places is Seattle. Growing up, I never thought I'd be able to go to Seattle. I grew up in eastern South Carolina, so that's as far as you can get from Seattle, unless I lived in Miami.

For more than eight decades, Washington has been my hometown. My whole orientation is toward this place.

I grew up in a trailer park in Bellingham, Washington.

I love the area I grew up in, which is right outside D.C., in Alexandria, Virginia.

I've been in love with Washington ever since renting my very first apartment there many years ago while working as a Senate intern.
