Quote

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

Nothing lasts in New York. The life that is lived there, however, is as intense as it gets.

I said, to be a New Yorker you have to live here for six months, and if at the end of the six months you find you walk faster, talk faster, think faster, you're a New Yorker.

New York is in my DNA.

To me, what defines a New Yorker is the edge that one develops from having actually lived here. Once you have it, it doesn't go away, and everywhere else in the world feels like it is in slow motion.

What I'll remember about New York is growing up really fast.

There's no one New York. There's multiple New Yorks.

It's hard to leave New York: this is where my friends are, my parents are. It is so vital. The whole world seems to look to New York.

New York, in itself, has this frenzied, chaotic feeling to it. It's such a big city, and it's always moving, and there are so many people.

Most of the people in New York are very often from somewhere else.
