I have this weird tropism for islands. Take me to an island as far from New York as I can possibly go.

I like California a lot more than New York these days.

That's such a great thing about New York, after growing up in a place and being there for twenty plus years, there's still a whole island to discover.

I like islands.

This land is your land, this land is my land, From California to the New York Island. From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me.

I feel we are all islands - in a common sea.

I'm proud of where I'm from. I'm proud of Long Island.

I resist and resent the idea of California as a metaphor. It's something thrust upon us, usually by people in the East.

I mean, I love California, but LA to me is still a strange place.

I knew I couldn't live in America and I wasn't ready to move to Europe so I moved to an island off the coast of America - New York City .
