• Te metes en estas pequeñas ciudades de Pensilvania y, como en muchas pequeñas ciudades del Medio Oeste, los puestos de trabajo han desaparecido hace 25 años y nada los ha reemplazado. Y cayeron durante la Administración Clinton, y la Administración Bush, y cada administración sucesiva ha dicho que de alguna manera estas comunidades se van a regenerar y no ha sido así. Y no es de extrañar entonces que se amarguen, que se aferren a las armas o a la religión o a la antipatía hacia la gente que no es como ellos o al sentimiento anti-inmigración o al sentimiento anti-comercio como forma de explicar sus frustraciones.

• In any democratic, civilized - even non-democratic nations, if you are a nation, it means to say that in our case, if there's a hurricane in Louisiana, the people of Vermont are there for them.

• After the success of 'August,' there were people saying I should change my life. And maybe I should have bought a yacht and traveled the world instead of returning to Steppenwolf to act in and write plays. But I'm from the Midwest, and that's what we do: We go back to work.

• Our fathers and grandfathers who poured over the Midwest were self-reliant, rugged, God-fearing people of indomitable courage...They asked only for freedom of opportunity and equal chance. In these conceptions lies the real basis of American democracy. They and their fathers give a genius to American institutions that distinguished our people from any other in the world.

• I had an unusually large-sized head, though this was not uncommon for a baby in the Midwest.

• So the Midwest nourishes us [...] and presents us with the spectacle of a land and a people completed and certain. And so we run to our bedrooms and read in a fever, and love the big hardwood trees outside the windows, and the terrible Midwest summers, and the terrible Midwest winters [...]. And so we leave it sorrowfully, having grown strong and restless by opposing with all our will and mind and muscle its simple, loving, single will for us: that we stay, that we stay and find a place among its familiar possibilities. Mother knew we would go; she encouraged us.

  Annie Dillard

• I love New York, and I'm drawn to a certain intensity of life, but I've just never felt like I want to escape from the Midwest. A writer lives a great deal in his own head, and so one intuitively finds places where your head is more clear. New York for me is one of those places.

• I was never that kid who grew up in New York and was always at the arthouse watching important films. I was the kid who grew up in the Midwest where there weren't any art films, and I watched TV. And that was really the medium that affected me and that I fell in love with.

• I was a huge theater geek growing up, and that was not the easiest thing in the world, especially growing up in Chicago, where sports are really the norm.
