I want to be Miss USA or Miss America. I would bring the trophy back to Nebraska. My interests are agriculture and corn. Hey, I’m just riding this train as long as I can. As long as I’m having fun, I’ll do it. When it stops being fun, I’ll try something else.
I ended up being the governor of a very ag state, Nebraska.
Right before ‘Nebraska,’ I went to Ireland to do this little movie called ‘Run & Jump.’ It was so far away from home, I felt a real safety to explore a different kind of role. I loved how it turned out.
My first job entailed spending a summer working in a cornfield in Nebraska.
I’m an honest, hardworking conservative leader who will stand up to Washington and fight for Nebraska.
I have a car in Nebraska. When I bought it, they gave me a satellite radio, and there’s an ‘indie-rock’ station. It’s just nothing I’m interested in.

I got all sorts of great Nebraska jokes.
When I was little, we moved around a lot, actually. In second grade, I think I went to three different schools. We were in Nevada and Oregon and as well as a few different places in Nebraska. I did go to high school in the same town.
My great-grandmother grew up in a sod house in Nebraska. When she was a tiny girl – in other words, only four human generations ago – there were still enough wild bison on the Plains that she was afraid lightning storms would spook them and they would trample her home.
Yeah, I had a tremendous time shooting in Nebraska. I like that state a lot, all over it.
The openness of rural Nebraska certainly influenced me. That openness, in a way, fosters the imagination. But growing up, Lincoln wasn’t a small town. It was a college town. It had record stores and was a liberal place.
When I was 18, 19, I was presented as the ‘aw shucks’ Nebraska kid who’s coming up with a big serve, and then I flipped out a couple of times, and then I was ueber-brat, when I feel like there’s parts of both, but I don’t think I am either one, if that makes sense.
