The best thing about New York is everything is available. Whatever you want, New York has got it!

There are many exceptions, but New York is a great place to start a career.

New York is for everybody; it's for the poor, it's for the middle-class, it's for the wealthy. We can't punish any one group and chase them away.

New York means so much to people. If you're inclined to leave the nest, New York is where most people think they have to go, and it's been that way since the first skyscraper.

New York is a great place to be if you want to make an impact and be involved in charities or philanthropic organizations like my wife and I are.

New York is a place that can grind you down and spit you out. A true New Yorker doesn't get ground down - he gets polished.

Part of that is that New York has proved to be too much fun for me to live and work; I love New York so much.

There's something so romantic about being broke in New York. You gotta do it. You have to live there once without any money, and then you have to live there when you have money. Let me tell you, of the two, the latter is far better.

There is hardly a place in New York that you can't walk a block and a half and get a cup of coffee. Believe me, I've been all over the world. There's no place like that but New York City.

It's really hard to be poor in New York - I was really poor when I lived in New York.
