“I grew up in a really small town that is typical of towns in the South. Kennett, which is where I grew up, sits right on the Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri border in “the Bootheel.” So typically, we are considered to be South, because we are south of the Mason-Dixon line. A very quiet town, kind of revolved around a town square with a courthouse. Very old-fashioned, right in the Bible Belt, mostly farmers, predominantly farm land, cotton, soybeans. God-fearing people, and it’s remained pretty much intact, with the exception of Wal-Mart coming in and the downtown kind of falling apart. It’s pretty much the same as it was when I was growing up. Everyone knew everyone. My parents knew all my friends. All my friends’ parents kept an eye on me. It just was a very strong community and still pretty much is that way.“

“I’m from a small town. I have small town ethics. I feel like a little kid still from Middle America, and nobody ever told me that I couldn’t do something. I felt like I had the biggest safety net from people in my hometown who were constantly saying, “If you work hard, you can have what you want,” and I think that’s what America is founded on. It’s founded on the right to observe whatever religious beliefs you have. It’s based on the possibility of being great, of finding yourself, of making money, of making an impact. It’s a pretty amazing idea that you can grow up in a place where you’re being handed a ticket that you can write yourself, to take yourself anywhere in this country and to speak your mind and to educate people and to really just create your own dream and live it.“
