Living in New York, you get a lot of confidence; when I go back to Michigan, I realise how obnoxious and demanding and straightforward I am.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Part of that is that New York has proved to be too much fun for me to live and work; I love New York so much.
New Yorkers, by reputation, are fast-talking, assertive and easily annoyed; I fit right in.
New York is nice, but I don't like it as much as I used to.
The beautiful thing about New York is, you have to expose yourself to other people the minute you step outside the door. There is no choice. And I love that.
I'm not a New York snob.
I like to think of myself as a New Yorker, which is pathetic.
New York is hard living. It's fun living, but it's hard.

When you move to New York, especially, you feel like you need to be something.
Michigan is my antidote to Manhattan. This is where I come to relax.
