I always had the most fun going to the beach on the weekends with my friends. In a way, we treated our beach style the way New Yorkers treat their street style, so I was always conscious of how I looked.

When I first came to New York, I would scream like a girl and run to the other side of the street if there was a pigeon. Now I can face off with a pigeon.

The older I get and the longer I live in New York City, the more I have the desire to go elsewhere and be surrounded by nature.

In California, I'm more of a beach chick, and I kind of take on a model city girl when I'm in New York.

When I'm in New York, I just want to walk down the street and feel this thing, like I'm in a movie.

I like to move forward and notice things along the roadside that indicate where I should go.

I lived in New York my whole life. Like every New Yorker, I have stories about spending summers on the Jersey shore, riding the roller coaster in Seaside that is now famous for that sickening photo of it being washed out to sea.

London is a roost for every bird.

In Los Angeles, I feel like the ugly duckling, like I'm from Venus or something.

The thing that always attracted me to New York was the sense of being in a place where a lot of people had a lot of stories not unlike mine. Everybody comes from somewhere else. Everyone's got a Polish grandmother, some kind of metamorphosis in their family circumstances. That's a very big thing - the experience of not living where you started.
