Growing up in a small town, in the Midwest, and Catholic: Those are sort of three layers of repression.

Irish is harder to pull off. I know southern people and I really like the midwest, so I can tap into that a little bit. It's easier to sound angry with southern than it is Irish.

It was the coldest winter ever! I thought last winter was the coldest winter ever, but I was wrong now wasn't I? You see because I travel all the time. So last winter, I'd be in the midwest, and the blizzard would hit. And then I'd fly home, and the blizzard would hit again!

I love New York for being New York. I love L.A. for being L.A. But when it comes home, I'm a Midwest, South type of dude.

Well, when people ask where I'm from, I usually say the Midwest, because that covers both homes, in a way. Obviously I was born in Omaha, but when people say, "Where do you come from," we'll say Milwaukee.

That's usually how it's referenced is we're from Milwaukee, yeah.
