My folks are in Jersey. And I have a lot of friends and other family there. So, I try to visit as much as possible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I stay in Jersey - it's home, man. It's home. And I think that's the foundation of the true strength of the communities where we live in America.
I live in New Jersey now, which always gets a bad rap here and there, but I must say, I enjoy living here too.
I do belong to Jersey. There's no doubt about that in my mind. They have been so loyal and so good to me; how could I possibly belong any place else?
As many of you know I travel a good bit and do not get to see my friends and family as much as I would like.
The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs. I live in the suburbs, the final battleground of the American dream, where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves. It's very romantic in that way, but a bit naive. I like to play with that in my work.
I could be anywhere in the country, and people will ask, 'Are you from Jersey?' I'm proud of that. We're a weird breed.
New Jersey is very big. There are different areas of New Jersey. There is North New Jersey. There is like the center. There are a lot of actors from New Jersey that don't speak with a New Jersey accent.
I represent central Florida, which depends on tourists for its economic survival. We need people to be able to get to the State and enjoy it.
I grew up in New Jersey and played sports and rode my bike around. It was a really nice time - kids didn't have cellphones then - and you knew everyone in the town.
I go down to Newport and Huntington a lot. It's more crowded than where I grew up on Phillip Island, but I think it's helped me adjust to life in America - getting into the water as much as I can.
