I must say that it's easy to write nice things about Chicago because it's that kind of town.

I had no particular image of Chicago in mind when I wrote 'My Kind of Town.' All I wanted to do was write a song in praise of Chicago, and that's what I did.

I'm not going to just say nice things about everybody unless I mean it.

I'm not a good person to have as an enemy; say nice things about me.

You can act as nice as you can 100% of the time, and it will still not make everybody say nice things about you.

If you want your children to improve, let them overhear the nice things you say about them to others.
