New York grew up before the automobile. And even though it's full of cars, its shape and form didn't get created around the automobile.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
What I'll remember about New York is growing up really fast.
But I can tell you that the New York that I see now is not the New York that we grew up in. It's not 1973.
Growing up in New York City, my car culture is minimal. I rode on the train, the bus. I walked; I rode my bike, and when I was younger, I rode my skateboard.
I think New York has evolved in my work just the way the city has.
New York is hard for me. I grew up in Texas. I can't do without my car, and you can't have a car in New York.
I think New York style is unique because there's something resourceful about it. Utilitarian. Whereas in Los Angeles, I find people make their cars a day closet. Which, I guess, is resourceful in a different way.
I think cars encapsulate the history of innovation and style - it's the other side of the coin of the car being public enemy No.1.
New Jersey shaped who and what I am. Growing up in Jersey gave you all the advantages of New York, but you were in its shadow. Anyone who's come from here will tell you that same story.
I grew up in New York.
