I spend most of hunting season at the ranch. We all love to hunt whitetails, and we have a pretty good supply in South Texas. I also love to hunt elk in Arizona, mule deer in Utah, and I’ve been to Canada to hunt caribou. -George Strait
Anyone who spends time on the road knows there’s something special about being in the middle of Utah or Nebraska – you sit with it, and there’s a peace about it. You can go left or right, and it opens up all kinds of doors. You take your own path. -Jason Momoa
My father moved out to Park City in in the mid-’70s and lived in a Winnebago behind a hippie joint called Utah Coal & Lumber that was one of only two or three restaurants at that time. Park City was a sleepy little mining town, with not a condo in sight.- Ira Sachs
People make fun of Utah nightlife, but it’s actually dope. I love it. -Donovan Mitchell
The Obama administration came into Utah and said, ‘We’re not going to listen to what the U.S. Supreme Court said. ‘We, the federal government, are going to recognize marriages in the state of Utah and Utah state law explicitly does not recognize as marriage,’ and that was really, in my view, an abuse of power.-Ted Cruz
Because, you know, you’re in Utah. And because of its political conservatism, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.- Robert Redford

What are the Democrats, the party of Jim Matheson, telling them? The message of the Democrats is that the Amercian dream is over. ‘The government is all you have. Give up your dreams, and the government will save you, the government will heal you, the government will be your hope and change.’ We know here in Utah, none of that is true. -Mia Love
We have a water purifier, so we drink a lot of it. As a singer, especially in Utah, you have to hydrate constantly. -Donny Osmond

My passion for gaming is well-known among both the Utah Jazz and my team in France. -Rudy Gobert

Barack Obama’s class warfare will not work on this Republican nominee. Not in Utah. -Mia Love

I love living in Utah. I was born here but raised in L.A., but we decided about 13, 14 years ago to come here to Utah.- Donny Osmond

The media in Utah is not the same as the media in New York, so that can wear on some people. -Paul Pierce
I didn’t take theater or anything. We didn’t have a very good theater program. It was in western Utah – was a really small school. It wasn’t developed. We didn’t have the funds to do anything like that, but I did act all through high school in films because Disney Channel would shoot movies out there. -Olesya Rulin
For me to be here tonight, everything had to be perfect. I had to get drafted by Utah, had to play with a point guard like John Stockton, and had to be coached by Jerry Sloan and Frank Layden.- Karl Malone
Utah is America’s best place for business because Utahns make it their business to succeed – and we have the track record to prove it. -Gary Herbert

My very first acting job ever, the first time I got paid to be an actress, was in 2001, right between my sophomore and junior year in college, when I was just 19 years old. I got paid $250 every two weeks, 10 shows a week, to be in the Utah Shakespearean Festival. I was Calpurnia in ‘Julius Caesar.’ -Katy Mixon
Growing up in a Jewish matriarchal world inside the patriarchal paradise of Salt Lake City, Utah, gave me increased perspective on gender issues, as it also did my gay brother and my lesbian sister. Our younger sister is the perfect Jewish-American wife and mother, and is fiercely proud of that fact. -Roseanne Barr

Utah is a very special place for me. It helped me a lot. -Kyle Kuzma

I’d like to see more of Colorado, Utah, and maybe go to Yellowstone. Oh, and I’d like to kayak down the Colorado through the Grand Canyon. -Jesse Spencer
Lifestyle-wise, like L.A. in general, Utah is very conservative, very laid back, and L.A. is nothing like that.- Kyle Kuzma
We’re putting Utah in a different light. I’m glad to be a part of that. We’re all glad to be a part of that. My friends want to come here. When I was a kid, that wasn’t the case. That’s where I’m trying to get Utah to. I want people to see what we have because it’s a great place. -Donovan Mitchell
‘Ice Cold’ is the eighth in my ‘Rizzoli and Isles’ thriller series. It was inspired by a true occurrence in the 1960s, now known as the ‘Dugway Incident,’ in which 6,000 sheep mysteriously died overnight in a remote area of Utah. I thought, ‘What if it happened instead to people? What if the inhabitants of an entire village vanished overnight?’ -Tess Gerritsen

Once you put yourself in the hands of the government, you could end up in Utah. -Michael O’Donoghue
My family was lower middle class, and my parents both worked, so we couldn’t take proper vacations. We’d go for three days to Santa Barbara or to the desert, so my first real vacation came was when I was 12, when friends of my parents were taking their kids away. We went to Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National Park in Arizona and Utah. -Harry Shearer
I never would have thought this would happen, me playing for Utah. It’s like coming around full circle for me and my family. We love it, we embrace it. -Jae Crowder

In the early 1970s, I headed to graduate school at the University of Utah and joined the pioneering program in computer graphics because I realized that’s where I could combine my interests in art and computer science. -Edwin Catmull

Actually, I was born in Las Vegas. My parents moved to Utah when I was eight because, after 40 years in Vegas, they were tired of it. We ended up in Nephi, a really small town in Utah. -Brandon Flowers
It’s funny – when you look at the real A-listers nowadays, look at how many live in and around Hollywood. Most of them live on a ranch in Utah. It’s no coincidence these guys get in and get out. -Darren Boyd

The United States came within a whisker of invading Utah in 1858 and starting a civil war three years before the Civil War. Because the conflict ended up fizzling out, it’s not the most dramatic story about the West. -David Roberts
I love whimsy. My mother was a word person, a real quipster. She was famous in the 1950s for being a contester in Utah: 25 words or less. My bicycle, our hi-fi… in 1959, she won $15,000 from Remington-Rand for writing about a shaver. She was a farm girl from South Dakota. -Ron Carlson
The San Gabriel monument expands our natural heritage, but there is more in need of safeguarding – extraordinary places like Utah’s Greater Canyonlands. -Frances Beinecke
In history books, or the one about the guy who cut his hand off to get out of a canyon in Utah, you really want them to be accurate. But my stuff is such small beer by comparison. -Geoff Dyer
Everyone has always underestimated a company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. The New York boys thought they could take me on, that nobody out here has any knowledge or wisdom. -Jon Huntsman, Sr.
All I can say is Mike Lee is an embarrassment to the state of Utah. He’s been a tremendous embarrassment to our family, to our state, to our country to have him as a U.S. senator. -Jon Huntsman, Sr.
Utah’s economy stays strong by adhering to conservative fundamental principles: low and consistent tax rates, smaller and more efficient government, sensible regulation, and empowering the private sector to create jobs. -Gary Herbert
Utah has benefited from setting smart tax policy. That said, public finding is dynamic enough that we cannot just set the tax policy and presume that it does not require continual review and adjustment. -Gary Herbert

It’s fascinating to go somewhere where you’re away from everything. There are no houses, no buildings, no roads, no people. And for a little less extreme hunting, any place in the West – Colorado, Utah, Montana – that’s just beautiful country. -Shawn Michaels
Salt Lake City gave me a lot of surprises. How progressive the city actually is, for instance, compared to the rest of Utah – it’s like this purple dot in a sea of red. And the government there is kind of a mix of conservative values and progressive ideas. -Larry Wilmore
Founded by a Mormon couple in Utah in 2012, The Color Run has proved to be a brilliant idea. -Elizabeth Flock
In Utah, the American melting pot is unstirred. Three out of four people are Mormons, and they are all here in this bleakly beautiful sanctuary ‘behind the Zion curtain’ because of religious persecution. -Shana Alexander

I know guys in the league say, ‘Oh yeah, I love X, Y, Z city.’ But man, I genuinely love Utah. -Donovan Mitchell

To be honest, I love being in Utah so I think most people have the wrong idea about the city, about the place. -Rudy Gobert
Trying to fuse a Jewish-Russian family with a Mormon family from Utah definitely is a challenge. -Valentin Chmerkovskiy
Can I just say, I am so excited to be working here. Little bit about myself, I love the American Southwest, for starters. You may call them Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, I call them heaven. I have a peanut allergy. It’s something I live with, it’s a part of me. I’ve learned to cope with it. What else? I’m just as comfortable at the ball game as I am at the opera. – Deangelo, The Office
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Josephine scrapes barnacles off boats in the Great Salt Lake. We call them Laker girls. But they are kind of sex symbols in Utah. – Andy, Modern Family
