I'm a proud American - becoming a citizen in 1988 was one of the most profoundly moving occasions in my life; I'm a former Texan and a recent Californian.
Abraham Verghese
My most memorable food challenge was probably the Big Texan in Amarillo. All the big executives called me because it was such an iconic challenge, and a victory in that would be a legitimizing device for myself as much as for the show.
Adam Richman
When Texans suffered from the collapse of the oil market in the 1980s, they could rely on the fiscal union to help them. When Texas boomed with rising oil prices in the 2000s, it contributed to the union to help harder hit regions.
Austan Goolsbee
I started as a news photographer at the University Of Texas' Daily Texan.
Berkeley Breathed
Washington is out of control, and it's time for Texans to stand up and stop them.
Bill Flores
I'm a Texan - my idea of gun control is hitting what you aim at and nothing else.
Blake Farenthold
I serve and answer to the Texans I represent - not the Hollywood elite.
Chris Kyle was a human being, a Texan, Navy SEAL, father, husband, brother, friends to many, and a hero to many; this, at a time when we need all the heroes we can get. I knew him to be a good person, regardless of all the hype floating around in the media.
Brandon Webb
My wife, Ashley, is a West Texan, a graduate of Abilene Cooper Public High School and the University of Texas.
Brett Kavanaugh
I've always gotten along well with Texans. You've got to.
Burt Reynolds
Texas has a lot of challenges, but if I choose to run I will talk about opening democracy to mainstream Texans and not just to a closed circle of entrenched ideologues.
Chris Bell
I went to Norman High then I walked across the street after that and went to college. That's my home town, that's where I'm from. Physically I'm a Texan, but I'm an Oklahoman.
Christian Kane
Serving 27 million Texans spread across 254 counties and two time zones isn't a job for those who require a lot of sleep.
Don Willett
Texas has an established trade office in Mexico City, as do other Texan cities. They have a more mature trade relationship with Mexico, and I want to make Arizona a leader in this area also.
Doug Ducey
The audience loves us! They buy out all our shows and really enjoy themselves but the press keeps right on bombin' us. We thought at first it was because our music was too Texan, maybe too different for East coast people to relate to. But anyone can relate to bein' drunk or missin' your woman.
Dusty Hill
There's nothing like being a Texan, and I'm proud to be one.
Dusty Rhodes
My father was a sort of John Wayne Texan who'd worked as a cowboy when he was young. He'd participated in rattlesnake round-ups and swum with copperheads.
Edmund White
You don't find anyone like Texans anywhere else in the world.
Edward Albert
Many people have believed that they were Chosen, but none more baldly than the Texans.
Edward Hoagland
For creating the Texan accent, I would listen to Sissy Spacek and watch her in 'Badlands.' I downloaded the audio of that whole film and listened to that.
Ellie Bamber
My voice was awkward. I had a deep Texan accent.
I'm not so interested in perfect, plastic beauty, and I think it translates in the girls I've shot over the years for Nars, from Guinevere to Iris to Mariacarla. I love those girls. I love the more interesting faces, with maybe a strange nose, not just the Texan blonde. By picking those girls, I think it's changed what I've seen in other campaigns.
Jim Hightower, Ann Richards - there are quite a few intelligent regular Texans.
I consider myself a Texan. I grew up in Texas and Oklahoma.
You know the good part about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans.
I'm not anti-American. I've lived with Kenny, a Texan, for six years.
It has never been a good idea to try to disarm Texans.
It is difficult to conduct flood mitigation at the federal level because of the bureaucracy and inconsistent funding. Texans are better able to lead this effort at the state level rather than rely on the federal government.
I am constantly reminded that as Texans, we are exceptional people.
Texans will not be pushed around.
Texans fear no one.
If you ask me what am I, I might say 'I am a Californian,' and if George Bush were here, he would say 'I am a Texan.'
It's just that to a lot of British people George Bush represents the worst of all things American. He's the right-wing Christian crusader, the toxic Texan who refused Kyoto, the poll-cheat eel who undermined democracy on the back of something called 'chads,' a notion we've never entirely grasped.
I have horses, I drive a truck, and I wear cowboy boots. First I'm a Texan.
I want to be a Texan 24 hours a day.
Texans have in common with Australians, in that they are quite strong, hardy people.
New Yorkers have their own way of speaking, their own tempo, and Texans are a lot like that. As much as you think Texas is one thing and New York is another, they're very much the same.
I'm a Texan. Some of me is still nestled up there in the Catskill Mountains: the summers I spent with my grandfather on the farm and the guys I played basketball with in high school. But then that was it.
A lot of Texans go up to New York and stay there forever. If there are any two places with more individual characters, I don't know them.
I've definitely seen that Texas is certainly a right-wing area politically. I think if you talk to the average Texan, some people may still think that alternative energy is some sort of hippie mumbo-jumbo, you know. I think there's still a strong movement to continue to drill and continue to find these other sources of oil within the country.
I'm a 10th-generation Texan. My ancestor - Andrew Kent - fought at the Alamo.
Texans know how to make people feel welcome.
Texans are by nature independent people.
Texas is so wrapped up in myth and legend, it's hard to know what the state and its people are really about. Real Texans, raised on these myths and legends, sometimes become legends themselves.
People in my town were not that into reading, but the overblown way Texans told stories was important.
When in Texas, do as the Texans do: Drive trucks, wear cowboy boots, and two-step!
Texans should not be taxed on our taxes.
I'm loyal and I think most Texans are very loyal, but I'm also stubborn.
As you may know, I'm a native Texan. In fact I'm a fifth generation Texan.
If you ain't Texan, I ain't got time for you.
