The history of Wall Street is inseparable from New York.

Before I came to New York, I only had a few pictures of the city in my mind. And you know 'That Girl?' Marlo Thomas jumping with her hat? I always loved that, and I wondered what that double street she crosses is. And it's Park Avenue! And that's what I can see out my window.

Forty Wall Street is probably the most beautiful tower in New York.

Well the thing is that the New York of 1846 to 1862 was very different from downtown New York now. Really nothing from that period still exists in New York.

In New York, all the crews read 'The New Yorker.' In Los Angeles, they don't know from 'The New Yorker.'

It's great that New York has large spaces for art. But the enormous immaculate box has become a dated, even oppressive place. Many of these spaces were designed for sprawling installations, large paintings, and the Relational Aesthetics work of the past fifteen years.

There's no one New York. There's multiple New Yorks.

Home is New York.

I don't know how many of you have been to New York, but if a building is two blocks away from anything, you can't see it.
