About this Quote
In this quote, Thomas Haden Church reflects on a chance encounter with Alexander, a fellow Nebraskan. He believes that the factor they crossed paths was since of their shared home state. However, what genuinely interested Alexander was the truth that Church was about to deal with Marlon Brando, who is likewise from Nebraska. Church sees Brando as the most famous Nebraskan of all, and this connection between them triggered Alexander's fascination. This quote highlights the pride and appreciation that Church has for his home state and its notable figures, and how it can bring individuals together in unforeseen ways.
