To avoid being mistaken for a sellout I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

Food in Chicago is the best.

For some Chicago expats food is the medicine that blunts the pain of separation.

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.'

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.

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. So I was always moving I'm still always moving.

Even the striving for equality by means of a directed economy can result only in an officially enforced inequality - an authoritarian determination of the status of each individual in the new hierarchical order.

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.

I think there are four or five interesting pockets where a lot of cool technology companies are getting started. Chicago is one of them. New York is certainly another. Silicon Valley really dominates. And you're seeing some stuff out of Boston and Seattle and down South.

With the never-ending stream of new social technologies apps and platforms rolling out every day its easy to get lost in the minutiae of social media.

I think I'm pretty smart on what I spend my money on. I still don't have a new car I drive my old car that I've had forever. But I bought a house in downtown Chicago.

I just wanted to see every single musical I could. The very first one I saw was 'Beauty and the Beast ' the only one I could get tickets for and then 'Les Miserables' and then 'Chicago.'

The attitude of physiological psychology to sensations and feelings considered as psychical elements is naturally the attitude of psychology at large.

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.

I'm always going to get more of a charge playing Chicago than I will Duluth or some place like that. Just because of the history and the people there are way more knowledgeable than a lot of other cities. It's an amazing music scene with some great bands and great musicians.
