The key for hipsters is that they usually try really hard, but the important thing is they want to come across like they don't try. To make it look effortless. I don't mind. It really fits New York, the hipster look.

The art and culture that is New York, communications, finance, all these things help make up New York. The rest of the country should be happy that we are what we are.

If most American cities are about the consumption of culture, Los Angeles and New York are about the production of culture - not only national culture but global culture.

New York feels like the whole city is into dance music. That's not how it felt when I was younger. There was more of a hipster scene.

Obviously, New York and Boston and Los Angeles have pretty vibrant entrepreneurial scenes.

The culture of New York is just impossible to replicate. It's such an incredible feeling to be walking on the streets of New York. You can literally find everything you need in a five block radius oftentimes.

Manhattan seems pretty developed, you know what I mean? Like, it has peaked in culture.

New York is a field of tireless and antagonistic interests undoubtedly fascinating but horribly unreal. Everybody is looking at everybody else a foolish crowd walking on mirrors.

In other words, New York has gone all suburban and bourgeois on us.

We live in a youth-obsessed, aesthetically obsessed culture. That is no more evident than in the film industry.
