I am one of the 11.5% of New Yorkers who remain traumatized by the events of September 11.

Unfortunately I was in New York when 9/11 happened.

After Sept. 11, New York wasn't the same, and that's part of the reason why I left.

I was living near the Twin Towers on 9/11, so I saw the attacks, and I had friends who were killed in the attacks.

I've lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I've gained hundreds, thousands - who knows? - of allies.

I did live in New York. Yeah, I moved to L.A. for 'Community.' And I gave up my apartment in New York.

I lived the street life for a minute; I lost a lot of friends.

I spent a lot of my life schlepping around New York with people not doing things for me.

I was desperate to go back to New York and when 9/11 happened, I feared moving to the bulls-eye and that was very hard because I have a lot of family there and I really had to question what I didn't like about this community.

In the context of September 11, there were so many that lost their lives that - how do you single out one person? There were so many acts of heroism that day from so many people, whether it be firemen and police officers in New York and our agents also.
