I'm a Midwesterner.

Being in the Midwest, you get the best of all worlds and add your own flavor to it.

I come from Chicago, and the landscape of the Midwest has always meant a great deal to me.

I have a strange fascination with the Midwest. I'm waiting to find out that my parents are actually from the Midwest. I grew up in Beverly Hills, up the street, and I just feel comfortable there. I've shot in Minneapolis, in Detroit, in St. Louis, in Omaha - they would say they're the Plains, not the Midwest - and I love it.

I love the Midwest. I think about it every day. I wonder if I would rather have a little farm in the Midwest, in Illinois or Wisconsin, or would I rather have like a little getaway up in the mountains of Colorado.

It's the friends that make you survive this flat place called the Midwest.

The people in the Upper Midwest were the same kind of people I grew up around in Idaho.

At my core, I'm a Midwesterner.

A lot of the people of the Midwest came from the Northeast. We're of the same stock. Yet something must have happened when we crossed the Ohio River Valley because I have sensed that there's more of an openness and flexibility of spirit out West.
