I eat out three times a day most days of the year. This is no big deal to most New Yorkers, and it is not something I am necessarily proud of - it's simply the nature of my itinerant life.

As I've always said, the way New Yorkers back us we have to produce for them.

I guess if you're independent, not afraid of much, and extremely stylish, that makes you a pretty good candidate for being a New Yorker.

I always say that I would go poor eating my way through New York because I like to try everything.

A New Yorker is anyone who has the guts to really live in the city.

Every man, woman and child consumes, on average, 43 teaspoons of sugar a day. In 13 days, that adds up to a five-pound bag of sugar.

New York is such a competitive place; it tears people apart. People come here and, if they can't make it in the first month, they get torn apart and they have to go back to where they came from. I don't think that's terribly healthy.

If people try to cut sugar out completely, they often splurge later. That isn't a good idea.

One of the benefits to ordering food in New York is that you can get food 24/7.

There is hardly a place in New York that you can't walk a block and a half and get a cup of coffee. Believe me, I've been all over the world. There's no place like that but New York City.
