I kinda like Florida. It's hot as hell, but we moved to Tallahassee, which is so close to Georgia. It really wasn't Florida the way people think of Florida. It wasn't south Florida. But you could still easily drive to Panama City Beach and get a little bit of Redneck Riviera if you want that. Get some airbrushed T-shirts on, and you're done.
South Florida, Central Florida, and North Florida could never be mistaken for each other. Each has its quirks and attractions.
I'm originally from Fort Lauderdale: that's my home town in Florida. So when I'm on location, I just get the packets from schools in Florida. And when I go to Florida, I go to Christ Church School.
I believe Florida deserves a candidate who will work for Florida every single day and campaign for every Florida voter, no matter where they live, how they worship, or what language they speak around the dinner table.
Florida is kind of notorious. But also because it's a rich place. Phonetically, narratively, historically. I wanted to know Florida better and I could easily find stories. My relationship with Florida is fraught because I didn't want to be living there always, but then after I left I really missed it.
I think it would be a privilege to play in Tampa, period, with the Florida State fan base and everything I have been involved with in the state of Florida.
Florida is a very idiosyncratic place in a lot of ways - as are many parts of our fine country, but one could say Florida is particularly idiosyncratic.
Out of electronics school, my first assignment was to a fighter base in Florida. My roommate, Glen, would become my best friend in Florida and Thailand as we were sent to different air bases in Southeast Asia.
But to make a long story short, I decided that I was going to run, and I announced that I was going to run for president in Florida, I would be the favorite son from Florida, and that would stop Johnson and Kennedy from dividing up the state.
I couldn't adjust to the racism in Florida. It was so blatant... I had never been so described as Florida described me.
Southern Florida ain't even Florida for real. It's like New York, Chicago, the beaches.
Florida is very difficult to have name ID... That's why statewide incumbents usually get reelected in Florida.
Usually, the news out of Florida makes me feel like being black in Florida can be a terminal condition.
My son was born right here in Florida; he went to public schools and went to the University of Florida and surprised me - I'll tell you that - when he went into the service.
I'm from Florida, so any time I get invited to come to Florida and play a show, I'm definitely always up for that.
I'm from Florida, which I consider more southern. You cannot put Florida in the same category as California or New York.
