I've always loved New York City and the idea of a cultural exchange: the immigrants coming to America.
New York has always been a city of change and a city about change, and it is a back-leading development. Nobody's going to want to come to New York if it looks like another strip mall.
The culture of New York is just impossible to replicate. It's such an incredible feeling to be walking on the streets of New York. You can literally find everything you need in a five block radius oftentimes.
The thing that always attracted me to New York was the sense of being in a place where a lot of people had a lot of stories not unlike mine. Everybody comes from somewhere else. Everyone's got a Polish grandmother, some kind of metamorphosis in their family circumstances. That's a very big thing - the experience of not living where you started.
If I look at it, it's about being able to get lost in New York, to explore the city, to have more personal stories about New York, although some could also take place in Paris.
Every day is a different day in New York; there's always something new going on.
When you live in New York, one of two things happen - you either become a New Yorker, or you feel more like the place you came from.
Neighborhoods change. In some ways, it's part of the beauty of New York City. It's in a constant state of flux.
I miss the anonymity that comes with New York because everyone around you is so immersed in their own journey.
It's fascinating to see how versatile New York City is. It lends itself to being so many different places!
