My music is the essence of Detroit. At one time, we were the center of the world, man - Motor City. (City Quotes)
When I was in New York, I took my bike everywhere for transportation. I didn’t have a fixed-gear bicycle, like a lot of the messengers do, but I had a stripped-down deal - having lost a few good ones in New York - and I did 10 to 15 miles a day just getting around the city. (City Quotes)
St. Petersburg is a wonderful city. You have wonderful parks, birds singing in the trees, manatees in the water, pelicans. So it’s like this little paradise on Earth. (City Quotes)

Kansas City, I would say, did more for jazz music, black music, than any other influence at all. Almost all their joints that they had there, they used black bands. Most musicians who amounted to anything, they would flock to Kansas City because that’s the place where jobs were plentiful. (City Quotes)
As you know, I’m a black girl out of the projects of New York City, raised in a single parent home because my parents divorced very very young... welfare and homeless at four and then again at 16 and just not having the things or the necessary tools that society would say I needed to have in order to be any kind of success in life. (City Quotes)
Black people are victims of an enormous amount of violence. None of those things can take place without the complicity of the people who run the schools and the city. (City Quotes)
Don’t feel you have to stick to plans, because something better might come up; and try to blend in, because you see more. I’ve learnt that the principles of moving around a big city are the same everywhere; only the people and streets are different. (City Quotes)
As the avenues and streets of a city are nothing less than its arteries and veins, we may well ask what doctor would venture to promise bodily health if he knew that the blood circulation was steadily growing more congested! (City Quotes)
It’s a blue-collar city [Manchester] that’s transitioning into a white collar place and people are getting priced out. (City Quotes)
I think fans cling to me because I’m a blue-collar guy in a blue-collar city (City Quotes)
I have a special feeling for Blue Hills CC, where I won perhaps the most important tournament of my life when I was 14 - the Kansas City Match Play Championship. It gave me a dream of becoming a professional golfer. (City Quotes)
Dwelling on the loneliness inherent in a city such as this when you dream of endless mountains and expanses of blue sky is a recipe for torment. (City Quotes)
My hometown is a very boring city. There isn’t a lot of industry - there are a lot of trees. It’s not like Beijing where the sky is always dark. In my city the sky is blue and the sun shines. (City Quotes)
We played one warm-up gig at this bar that was kinda like that bar in ‘The Blues Brothers’ with the chicken wire. This place called The Brick House, in Housatonic. I really can’t believe we’re going to play for people in New York City. I’m terrified, but it’s a small enough room. But it’s really just supposed to be for the fun of it. (City Quotes)
When we look at the situation in Ferguson, Missouri and the tragic death of Michael Brown, we are reminded of the importance of who we elect to our city councils, who sits on our local board of education committees, who we pick to represent us in Congress, in the Senate and more. (City Quotes)
If I were mayor, I’d invite everyone to have free boat trips on the river and free balloon rides over the city. I’d let the elderly in residential homes wander free. (City Quotes)

I get bored real easy. I’m so used to L.A. and the pace that when I go home now I start thinking, ‘Something’s not right, something’s not feelin’ right.’ I just gotta do what I gotta do in Oklahoma and get back to the fast-paced city. (City Quotes)
