Quote

I am a New Yorker.

I seem to only write New York stories because it's the only thing that inspires or interests me.

New York is who I am.

I'm a New Yorker, you know.

To write a story about New York that only deals with people in your age and socioeconomic bracket, that feels dishonest to me. So much of New York comes from everyone bumping into each other.

Technically, I'm a New Yorker.

I'm an upstate New York lifer.

I grew up in New York.

I spend a lot of time writing in New York.

I'm a New York girl. I come out of New York theater.
