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

Texas is as odd as it is vast.

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

Texas was such a welcoming place, and with its unbelievable history and tradition, it's extra special to be a part of that.

I like the fact that Austin's the first place I've ever lived where there's a real sense of community. People care about their neighbors.

I'd heard about Texas football and how much of a religion it is, but to go to Odessa and experience it first-hand is something different than just hearing about it.

I had never been to Texas. I'd been through Texas, but I'm so glad to be back in a place that's not L.A. or New York. To talk about Dallas, to talk about there being sweet tea on the catering table, it's rich and saturated in American-ness.

I grew up just outside of Austin, and my upbringing was fairly rural.

I have really fond memories of Texas. By the time I was eight, we started to go back to Chile very regularly, and many family members came to visit us because we couldn't go visit them.

Fort Worth is friendly; it's still a Texas town. It's the most Texas city in Texas.
