I like to be in New York. Le Corbusier described it in the 1930s as a 'wonderful catastrophe.' It is still a wonderful catastrophe, but inspiring.

There are two things in New York, euphoria and disaster.

The fact that New York continues in the face of all of the chaos, of the crime, of the madness, you just think that it would just pop and vanish, just explode.

Sometimes, I feel that Manhattan in particular has gotten really tame and gentrified or something.

I love that New York City is a true melting pot.

Everyone's expectation of New York is so big, and then you go, 'Oh, it really is like no other place on Earth!'

But actually, I'm planning on moving to New York this year and I can tell you one reason why I think New York is incredible: I think things happen to you that you don't expect have happen to you.

I love how New York as an idea is less a paradigm of manifest destiny and more a romance for the social orphans of the world. We live here to be among the towers and the crowds.

There's a fascinating statistic: One out of every four people in America has visited New York since 9/11. It is astounding. Now, I don't know how you count it; it's some people coming multiple times.

New York is an exciting town where something is happening all the time, most unsolved.
