Sometimes with 'The New Yorker,' they have grammar rules that just don't feel right in my mouth.

I think of New Yorkers as not taking the time to talk to someone they don't know.

I actually came to New York because it was very tolerant. You know, it seems preposterous, ludicrous thing to say in an interview, but I came for the anonymity particularly.

I used to never miss the 'New Yorker' or 'New York.' Now I never bother.

I definitely feel like a native New Yorker. My personality was formed there.

I think that most New Yorkers would object to calling me a New Yorker. I didn't grow up here.

I still think of myself really as a New Yorker.

People say New Yorkers can't get along. Not true. I saw two New Yorkers, complete strangers, sharing a cab. One guy took the tires and the radio; the other guy took the engine.

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.
