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

New York is great for busy creative types. The city has a pulse that races, and you either keep up with it or you leave.

I've been pretty career-focused since moving to New York.

One of the things that's great about New York is that it is not a one-industry town. It has education, academia, the service industry, arts, publishing, theater, politics, fashion, finance, as well as movie-making.

One good and bad thing about New York is there's so much exciting stuff and so many people doing something interesting. I actually find in New York that you become more careerist and more focused on what's the newest, hippest thing.

I love working in New York.

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 so serious about the creation of work. Everything is happening so fast, it feels like there's another studio, another session on every block, and I love that.

It would probably help my career if I lived in L.A., but I think it would be all-consuming. New York has its own little rat race going on, too. But it's also really diverse and has a lot of people doing different kinds of jobs. In L.A., work would be the only thing I'd think about, and sometimes, I need a break from that.

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.
