I'm very social, and in a place like New York, even if you're alone on the subway, you never feel lonely.

Well, it's true that I've never been solitary, although I spend a lot of time alone. I've never felt lonely or been shy.

I live in New York, and when you're older and widowed, it's a perfect place because you just don't feel lonely there, and, luckily, I like my own company, too.

The loneliness is when you pick up and move, even if you are not originally from that place, and you have some memories that you want to embrace. Having a life in transit, I feel like you are always looking out the back window.

In cities no one is quiet but many are lonely; in the country, people are quiet but few are lonely.

I don't think any other city in the world... the sun doesn't shine the same way anywhere as it does in New York. And then I guess everyone's very good at hanging out. Not in a crazy way, but you're just constantly interacting and learning.

All my life, I never really felt comfortable anywhere in New York, except maybe in an apartment somewhere.

Sometimes I get lonely, but it's nice to be alone.

I've always lived in a city.

When I first moved here, I almost felt like I was obligated to hate L.A. as a New Yorker. I moved way too fast for this city. I walked everywhere, and I was lonely, too. It was a really hard time not knowing anybody, and you don't run into people the way you do in New York. You can go a week without seeing anyone.
