For me, personally, Detroit is a melting pot for everything. We get the best from the East Coast, West Coast and down South.

Detroit is beautiful - though you probably have to be a child of the industrial Midwest, like me, to see it.

I went on to Cincinnati. I had got a taste of the big cities and them bright lights. I stayed there until I was about 18 or 19 and then I went on to Detroit.

I grew up on the west side of Detroit - 6 mile and Wyoming - so I was really in the 'hood. And I would go to school at Detroit Waldorf, and that was not the 'hood. Growing up in Detroit was good. I had a good perspective, a well-rounded one, and not being one-sided.

I believe that Detroit has a terrific geographic position. It still is a hub of one of the most important industries in the world. There's incredible engineering and other talent.

I grew up in Lake Orion, Mich. What was best about Lake Orion where, where we grew up was it was a suburb of Detroit but had a lot of open space around.

New York... when civilization falls apart, remember, we were way ahead of you.

I was born and raised in Detroit.
