You'd never think of taking a cab if you had to walk a mile down Chicago's Michigan Avenue. But in a bad city you take a cab just to go around the corner.

People drive everywhere in L.A., so you get very little human interaction... but N.Y. and Chicago are like London... L.A. lacks the social interaction.

Chicago is a pretty good town.

I moved to Chicago in 1980 to go to college.

When I lived in Chicago, I didn't like it. It's nice to visit.

Chicago is seriously my favorite city in the country. People have roots here, which is nice. When you go to Los Angeles, no one is actually from Los Angeles.

Chicago is many things to many people, and to me, it is a place where you can write.

But when I go to Chicago, I know I'm home.
