“When a person makes a decision, people will always want a reason they understand, so they'll put a negative spin on things.”

“We have not really advertised Chicago internationally.”

“I do feel strongly that we have got to do a little brand-positioning work. Wouldn't it be great to have something that everybody could say: 'Yep, that's Chicago.'”

“How can we salute - encourage the American spirit? That means many different things to many different people.”

“I think it's fair to say I feel much more comfortable in business than in politics.”

“I've always been searching. What am I going to do with all this - searching for that place where I could be me.”
