I run everywhere and eavesdrop. It's the best way to see a city.

I sometimes read on the subway, but I'm a hopeless eavesdropper and get easily distracted by strangers' conversations.

It is something I recognise in myself. I do eavesdrop. I do people-watch, a lot.

I think I'm very curious about other people. I like to sit and eavesdrop, you know.

I read the 'New York Post' every day. It keeps me connected to my home town even when I am on the road.

I've lived my entire life in New York, and it informs everything.

I go to bars and restaurants, and I sit and I eavesdrop on people and I watch people in shopping centers and, you know, I read the newspapers and I talk to the Trenton cops, and I just get a lot of information that comes in that somehow turns into a book.

I love New York. I love the people. I love the anonymity.

I miss the anonymity that comes with New York because everyone around you is so immersed in their own journey.

On his own okay, Bush has authorized eavesdropping on as many as a thousand people over the past three years, with some of those intercepts being purely domestic, the New York Times reported.
