If anybody asks me where I'm from, my first inclination is to say, 'Washington,' because that's where I grew up meaningfully.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It just so happens that I was born and raised in Washington. Had I been born in Chicago or San Antonio, the streets and places would have figured into whatever I wrote. Just so happens that it's Washington, D.C.
From my apartment in Arlington, I could see Washington. It was always nice to be near home.
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.
For more than eight decades, Washington has been my hometown. My whole orientation is toward this place.
For me, New York is home because that's where I'm from.
I grew up outside of DC, New York state, and Connecticut.
I want to let everybody know that I'm from there, and country is Tuskegee. Or should I say rather, my country is Tuskegee. I was born and raised there, it's not just someplace I passed through one day.
My dad grew up in Washington Heights. I grew up in New York in Manhattan. So we're purebred New Yorkers.
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.
I was born in Washington, D.C., and I was raised in Milwaukee.
