"The reason that I stayed here is because my family is not too far away,
they're about 150 miles. But I picked a larger city, because I wanted to
be able to do a lot of things. I can go to the theater or I can go to --
Detroit is close the lake, so I can go to the beach. I can do a million
things. I love the city. I grew up in a very small town, and I wanted to
broaden my horizons being able to do whatever I can."
