The majority of my family is Auburn fans, and I grew up watching Auburn football, and that's always who I've cheered for.

I always had a curiosity about Texas. I had a curiosity about small-town life, although, granted, Odessa's not a tiny town.

I'm all about small towns. I think it's a great place to grow up.

I had a very unusual childhood in that I grew up on the Stanford campus and I never moved.

When red-haired people are above a certain social grade their hair is auburn.

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.

Well, you know I grew up wanting to be a Clemson Tiger and I ended up being able to play there and I went to school there.

I'd heard about Texas football and how much of a religion it is, but to go to Odessa and experience it first-hand is something different than just hearing about it.

There's something awful about Oxford, I think. It's such a little ghetto.

Growing up in Georgia, I used to think people up north or out west were so different. They're really not. They're just regular people who live in small towns. They grow up and try to raise families and have a job and go to church and play softball. It's that way everywhere.
