I talked with Quentin about where the character came from, and he told me Kansas City. I don’t know how somebody talks from Kansas City, so I made him from New York. – Steve Buscemi
I went to state in track, won the girls’ city championship, and did well in volleyball. I was a varsity cheerleader. So you know, shoot, I’ve got a couple of letters and things! Last I counted, I think there were eight in my mama’s house. – Vivica A. Fox
When I first came to New York City in 1967, I joined up with Richard Schechner’s Performance Group – where we worked in the Performing Garage in SoHo. – Spalding Gray
My priorities are to continue to fight for manufacturing in my state and for jobs and health care and deal with lead issues in my beloved city of Cleveland, where I live, and every other city in the industrial Midwest. – Sherrod Brown
I’m a union guy; I’ve always been. I’ve been in SAG 35 years; my father was a garbage man, a sanitation man, for the city, a union guy. – Tony Danza
I don’t think I’ll ever fully get over losing the city council seat. I don’t know how that happened. But it was less than 1 percent out of 50,000 votes. I’d put in six or seven years into changing L.A. – Tom Hayden
I now know my right from my left and my up from my down. Unluckily, my terrible sense of direction remains. For me, to live in New York City is to never be able to meet someone on the northeast corner. It is to never ever make a smooth entrance, always to get caught looking lost on the street. – Sloane Crosley
I have a few friends that have inspired me since I was a young kid. When I watch old films or modern movies – particularly ‘Gladiator,’ ‘New Jack City’ and ‘The Skin I Live In’ – I’ll also get ideas. – Theophilus London
I knew I couldn’t live in America and I wasn’t ready to move to Europe so I moved to an island off the coast of America – New York City . – Spalding Gray
Montreal is a very cosmopolitan, sophisticated, erudite, educated, glorious city today. But it wasn’t quite that way when I was growing up there. There was a lot of anti-Semitism. And I had to deal with that in an area of the city that had very few Jews. – William Shatner
I’m a creative person, and I’ve got a lot of ideas. People probably thought that my mentality was quick fame because I made ‘Rack City’ and it blew up fast, but I have over 1,000 songs recorded. – Tyga
As it happens, Chicago is the nation’s leader in municipal privatization efforts. That’s right: The city that conservatives portray as the citadel of the power-grabbing, government-growing left has been selling itself off in pieces for years. It signed a 99-year lease for the Chicago Skyway, a toll road in the city’s South Side, back in 2005. – Thomas Frank
I never thought I would be the oldest quarterback in the National Football League at one point, not in a million years. I never thought I would play as long as I did, either, seventeen years from start to finish, with stops in Houston, Minnesota, Seattle, and Kansas City. – Warren Moon
I don’t like going to cities. I don’t mind maybe being in a city sometimes for a few hours, but I pretty much don’t like cities. I don’t even like passing through them. – Will Oldham
I have more of an identity with Cowher than I do Tomlin. I knew Cowher when he came over from Kansas City as a defensive coordinator, and his teams were tough. Tomlin came in from Minnesota, and I didn’t know anything about him. So maybe it’s unfair for me to make the comparison. – Terry Bradshaw
There are a lot of folks out there that love the convenience of the Kansas City airport. That’s one of the biggest things it’s got going for it. – Sam Graves
Many cities make music, but no city breathes music quite like Memphis. The songs and sounds that come from here are uniquely American. – Shawn Amos
My passion for the game comes from the city of Marseille itself. Unfortunately I can’t go back there as much I want to because I play a lot here and abroad. – Zinedine Zidane
That’s what they do in Europe. You go down to the city hall and you become legally connected. You have a civil union there. Then, if you’re religious, you go down to the church, and the church blesses the union. That gets the problem solved. – Tony Campolo
It would be difficult to write a convincing ghost story set on a sunny day in a big city. – Susan Hill
I love the fact that there is now a skate park in almost every city, but it will always have a rebellious/underground edge to it because it is based on individuality. – Tony Hawk
You go to Miami, and you might only hear one Tyga song on the radio. You go to L.A., and you might hear six or seven on the radio. There’s certain things you do for your city. – Tyga
I was living in Paris for, like, a year and a half, and I couldn’t speak French, so it was just hard to get a baguette or a pastry or whatever. All the stores close at 6 o’clock, and they’re not very into hospitality, so it’s not a convenient city. It’s so pretty, though, but I was raised in Tokyo, so it was hard to understand. – Tao Okamoto
The issues that we face as a country and in South Florida aren’t broken down by city line or county line. – Ted Deutch
