CHICAGO QUOTES

• Well, I design costumes because I started with the theater in Chicago, but somehow a few lines just sort of fell to me to do it. And I studied it in school and I always liked it.
  ~ John Malkovich ~
• In most places in the country, voting is looked upon as a right and a duty, but in Chicago it's a sport.
  ~ Dick Gregory ~
• However, I was a restaurant critic at Chicago magazine before I worked at Esquire, and I've been a really enthusiastic home cook for a long time. It's just something I'm passionate about.
  ~ Ted Allen ~
• My family moved a lot as a kid. We started in Colorado, where I lived for five years. We moved to Chicago for two years, to San Francisco for one year, Connecticut for seven, Oregon for a couple years, and then I went to school.
  ~ Gus Van Sant ~

• Since I was a kid, I've had an absolute obsession with particular kinds of American music. Mississippi Delta blues of the Thirties, Chicago blues of the Fifties, West Coast music of the mid-Sixties - but I'd never really touched on dark Americana.
  ~ Robert Plant ~
• I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games. My brother used to ride me over to Lake Forest College on his Honda Supersport and we'd watch the Bears practice. I remember those guys out there as monsters - they were the biggest things I've ever seen!
  ~ Kyle Chandler ~
• It's wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago.
  ~ Dan Quayle ~
• This man is frank and earnest with women. In Fresno, he's Frank and in Chicago he's Ernest.
  ~ Henny Youngman ~
• Surely the President can agree with us, that theft from government is not good. I know it's bold. It's out on the edge. I know from a Chicago-Springfield background it's hard to fully grasp that honesty could be part of government.
  ~ Newt Gingrich ~
• Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.
  ~ Frank Lloyd Wright ~
• Maybe we can show government how to operate better as a result of better architecture. Eventually, I think Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world.

• When the entertainers of the Right aren't declaring their disgust with President Obama for groveling before foreign potentates, they're pretending to fear him as a left-wing thug, an exemplar of what they call 'the Chicago way.'
  ~ Thomas Frank ~
• Selling public property is the true Chicago way. Had Mr. Obama not been elected president, the nation's business journals would be falling over one another to praise his city for its daring, market-friendly innovations.
  ~ Thomas Frank ~
• And I come here as a daughter, raised on the South Side of Chicago - by a father who was a blue-collar city worker and a mother who stayed at home with my brother and me.
  ~ Michelle Obama ~
• My culture-deprived, aspirational mother dragged me once a month from our northern suburb - where the word art never came up - to the Art Institute of Chicago. I hated it.
  ~ Jerry Saltz ~
