Yes, I would have rather finished up in Pittsburgh.

I just wanted to say hi to Pittsburgh as well because I miss it.

I do have friends in Pittsburgh, and I had some wonderful experiences there.

Just growing up in Pittsburgh and knowing different neighborhoods, having family there and just loving it, it's like no other place.

Pittsburgh felt like the perfect size of a city to me. There's enough to do, but it's not like living in a circus. I also really loved how sports-enthusiastic Pittsburgh people are: how proud of their sports they are.

I've lived in New York for thirty years now, but I'm a proud Pittsburgher, and home is home. My family's still in Pittsburgh.

You know what I'm realizing? I always love a place if I like the movie I'm doing there. I've heard people say, 'I hate Pittsburgh,' and I'm like, 'I love Pittsburgh so much!' I loved what I was doing there, and I loved Austin for the same reason.

Pittsburgh is a very hard city, especially if you're black.

The people that I was working with made it all good for me - made it important to me - made it special. I will miss everyone in the Steelers organization.

It is certainly a most tremendous and unprecedented honor and distinction that I have received from Pittsburgh. Let us hope that it is not too late in my case to be of value to American art in something that I may yet possibly do from this encouragement.
