I love the Lower East Side.

If you want to go east, don't go west.

You can't go east and west at the same time.

Remember, you can always find East by staring directly at the sun.

What I love about the East End is that there's a great perseverance, determination and courage. What I dislike about it is that there is sometimes a celebration of ignorance.

The relationship between East and West needs to be and can be fixed via pop culture.

In the West, people tend to look at life as spectators, but in the East, people are the thing.

Everybody has a country side to them, as I do.

When I ask the young people from California why they want to go to New York, and the ones from the East why they're determined to go West, I hear what you'd expect: new challenges, different weather, boyfriends, girlfriends, to make a name... They laugh when I say, 'But your poor mother.'
