I think we Southerners have talked a fair amount of malarkey about the mystique of being Southern.

There's no such thing as being too Southern.

There's something sort of intrinsic in being a Southerner that doesn't go away. You can't get rid of it, but it's not something that's terribly obvious.

There's a grace about the South and a toughness about it, too.

I'm a Southerner.

Southern people are bigger-hearted and kinder than I had any right to expect.

It's really rare that you come across a Southern character that's not stereotyped, vilified or aggrandized.

Power, privilege, and violence are not, and never were, strictly Southern issues in America.

You know, Southerners are pretty cool.
