The people really are what make New York City great.

We will work with everybody for the good of New York.

I care about making New York better.

That's the great thing about New York, there's always something to do.

These are tough times, and the New Yorkers I have met are facing economic adversity with grace and dignity. They worry about their future, care about their neighbors and hope this storm will pass so they can focus on better days ahead.

With all the fighting we do and all the skirmishing we do, the reality is that New Yorkers can come together when they have to.

I love how New York as an idea is less a paradigm of manifest destiny and more a romance for the social orphans of the world. We live here to be among the towers and the crowds.

Let's make New York the safest state in America - that must be our goal. Let's achieve it together.

The people of New York took a big chance on me. And I'm well aware of that.

New Yorkers may think they're on some cutting edge, but that's not especially true. It is, however, the most exciting heterogeneous mess of a town I've ever seen.
