Quote

I'm barely reading the 'New York Times!' But I do try to keep abreast of things.

I felt uncomfortable calling myself a writer until I started with 'The New Yorker,' and then I was like, 'Okay, now you can call yourself that.'

A lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I'm writing about New York.

Most of my work - including everything from my own comics to the covers I've drawn for 'The New Yorker' - is the result of taking some personal experience or observation and then fictionalizing it to a degree.

What's so fascinating about New Yorkers is that each person has a whole lexicon of personal logic in the way that they decipher and do what has to be done to enjoy, stay alive, take pleasure in this place.

I've always essentially been a New Yorker.

I used to never miss the 'New Yorker' or 'New York.' Now I never bother.

I seem to only write New York stories because it's the only thing that inspires or interests me.

Sometimes with 'The New Yorker,' they have grammar rules that just don't feel right in my mouth.

I spend a lot of time writing in New York.
