I do think Austin is a great town for writers; we have a lot of them here. But I grew up in Austin, and so I didn't move here because it was a creative mecca; I was just lucky to live here.

They're really competitive at drama in Texas.

I want to experience Dallas. It's a new city where I see new business opportunities.

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 am a crazy Maverick fan. I would go there if Dallas was a great entertainment center.

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

This is a place where you really are what you achieve in Houston, and that's a tremendous boon to this town. I think you'll find people who have succeeded because of that kind of open culture.

The Hispanic culture is finding its way into the American culture. Places like Miami are going to be centers for that influence - places like Los Angeles and, certainly, cities in Texas.

Dallas is a positive, get-it done city.

Dallas is a great city, and it's worth fighting for.
