The streets of New York are entirely man-made and unmistakably that, so you feel as though you're on some sort of presentation platform whenever you're out on the streets.

New York is a character, all on its own, and whenever you film there, it becomes part of the show. That's just the nature of being there.

Theater in New York is nearer to the street. In London, you have to go deep into the building, usually, to reach the place where theater happens. On Broadway, only the fire doors separate you from the sidewalk, and you're lucky if the sound of a police car doesn't rip the envelope twice a night.

If you want to see theater you go to New York.

There are so many things to do in New York. I try to get to the theater and see some plays. I have a bicycle over here, and I ride around New York.

The people really are what make New York City great.

Theatre, when it is at its best, takes a lot of beating - the live experience and the shared collective experience of live storytelling is really special when it is good.

Audiences are a wee bit more chatty in New York than in London.
