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

People in north Michigan are not different at all from people in southern Alabama. Trust me, someone who's spent a lot of time in both places. They're all hardworking, simple people.

Obviously, people in Texas have big hearts.

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.

It's a great group of people here at Texas A&M, and everybody you run into is incredibly polite.

Here in California, a lot of people are just kinda rude, and they're really impatient, especially on the freeways and stuff. And in Texas it's not like that. Here, it's kinda like a 'dog eat dog' world. But in Texas, it's really friendly. And all my family is in Texas, so we would visit family more if we lived in Texas.

People don't live in Austin to work, they work to live there.

Fort Worth is friendly; it's still a Texas town. It's the most Texas city in Texas.

I come from a rural state. People drive 50, 100 miles to and from work every single day. That is true all over America.

I consider myself a Texan. I grew up in Texas and Oklahoma.
