I worked hard learning harmony and theory when I was growing up in Chicago in the 1920s.

I would never have become music director of the Chicago Symphony, which would have been an extremely sad loss.

I?m from Chicago, my family started a chain of movie theaters in Chicago that were around for 70 years and then one of them became the head of Paramount and the other was the head of production at MGM and we all came out of Chicago.
Bob Balaban

I'd seen the current stage production and the 1975 production of Chicago. I liked them both very much, but I didn't use them necessarily as inspiration.
Colleen Atwood

I'd studied dance in Chicago every summer end taught it all winter, and I was well-rounded. I wasn't worried about getting a job on Broadway. In fact, I got one the first week.
Gene Kelly

I'm always going to get more of a charge playing Chicago than I will Duluth or some place like that. Just because of the history and the people there are way more knowledgeable than a lot of other cities. It's an amazing music scene with some great bands and great musicians.
Matt Cameron

I'm always struck by the kids who turn up in New York and LA, and places in between. Chicago. Wanting to do theater, wanting to do independent film. Wanting to break into television or radio.

I'm from Chicago. My grandfather was a policeman, and my aunts are married to policemen.
Robin Tunney

I'm going to go out and try to be the best player I can be and help the Chicago Bears win.

I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.

I'm leaving because I want to spend more time with my wife in Chicago.
Bill Lipinski

I've always wanted to do theater in Chicago. Chicago is a big theater town-and, in some ways, I think this city is savvier and smarter than New York. Sometimes, I think it's a little too chic to go to theater in New York these days.
Jeffrey Donovan

I've always wanted to write a book relating my experiences growing up as a deaf child in Chicago. Contrary to what people might think, it wasn't all about hearing aids and speech classes or frustrations.
Marlee Matlin

I've been proud to be a lifelong Chicago Cub and still be with the Cubs. That's always been important to me and I think it's always been special.
Ryne Sandberg

I've done all of them except for Oprah. My shoes were on Oprah but they ran out of time so I wasn't on. I left my shoes in Chicago so they could put them on the show.
Matthew McGrory

I've leased the apartment; my partner is going to come out here. But we're keeping our house in Chicago because real estate is a really good investment and also because it is just crammed with full of stuff!
Ted Allen

I've never been arrested. I've been stopped, searched and had a gun put to my head by the Chicago cops.
Tim Meadows

I've very proud to be mayor of our great city. It's a city with a heart and a soul. Chicago has a unique spirit. Our business community wants to give back.

In '75, the year both A Chorus Line and Chicago hit Broadway, my head spun around and I became the ultimate theater queen for life.

In 1958, I came to Chicago where I have remained.
