In the middle 1940s... I heard everyone live. Painting, the theater; everything was happening. It was an exciting time when New York was the place to be.

I think that in the future, clocks won't say three o'clock anymore. They'll just get right to the point and rename three o'clock 'Pepsi.'

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.

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.

But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.

So that when I came to New York again, it was, I'm not too sure right now, but it was '74 or '75. I went to Miami in '74 and then I came to New York, I think, at the end of '74.

New York is still where I live most of the time.

Every day is a different day in New York; there's always something new going on.

It couldn't have happened anywhere but in little old New York.

When 'night, Mother' opened, I did not know how long it would be before I would have another show on Broadway.
