I want to be in Philly for the rest of my life. — © Joel Embiid
I want to be in Philly for the rest of my life.
I am pretty antisocial and have difficulty communicating with other human beings. I know that if I were in Philly I'd still mostly be hanging out in my apartment reading books and playing with synthesizers. That said, I grew up in Philly, went to college in Philly, lived in Philly afterwards for a while - almost every formative experience in my life has happened in Philly. Whether I like it or not, Philly is all over everything I do for the rest of my life.
If you're from Philly and you're listening to this, please know that the rest of the world looks at Philly and they're jealous of your food. I promise. And if you're not from Philly, and you've never been here and you're thinking about coming somewhere to the East Coast, come to Philly and eat the food because the food. Is. Amazing.
My biggest moments have been in Philly - I met Jay-Z and Beyonce in Philly, I did the Powerhouse in Philly.
I get my swag from Philly. I get my hustle from Philly. I get my work ethic from Philly.
I'm an Atlanta guy. I think Philly knows that. But I've adopted Philly as my second home, and they've embraced me.
I'm not from Philly - I'm from South Jersey, but we still consider that the Philly area.
In 2001, I moved from Philly to Atlanta, where I lived for six years. I had never lived anywhere but Philly, and you can imagine the culture shock; the Civil War seeps into daily life and conversation down South in a way it never does up North.
Howard University - HoChi - they make the best Philly cheesesteak I've ever had - way better than Philly.
I asked you here tonight because when you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
I don't like Philly. I don't care at all about Philly.
Honestly, I've always loved cheesesteaks. They're kind of my go-to when there's nothing else to have at restaurants, but obviously it's a little different when you're out in Philly and have an authentic Philly cheesesteak.
When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
When you realize you want to invest the rest of your lifestyle with somebody, you want the rest of your life to commence as quickly as achievable.
I love a good Roy Rogers or Shirley Temple, and I had to give those up. And Philly cheesesteaks. I love Philly cheesesteaks, and now they really aren't around anymore.
You can take the boy out of Philly but not the Philly out of the boy. It shapes my world view. It was a great place to grow up.
I only do this because I'm having fun. The day I stop having fun, I'll just walk away. I wasn't going to have fun doing a teen movie again. I don't want to do this for the rest of my life. I don't. I don't even want to spend the rest of my youth doing this in this industry. There's so much more I want to discover.
