Anybody that I can work with that will help improve the lives of New Yorkers, I will work with that person.

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

When you live in New York City, you run up a long list of things you've been meaning to do.

As most New Yorkers have done, I have given serious and generous thought to the state of my apartment should I get killed during the day.

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

I live most of the time in New York now. I have an apartment there.

Queens is so often treated as a stepchild and labeled as an outer borough. At the very least, if I could help bring more attention to what we need, and what the federal government needs to do to improve the quality of life of people right here in Queens - any way that I can do that, I'm very happy to do that.

I am a New Yorker.

When you grow up in the city, New York is so big that you can kind of stay in your own little corner of the city and think that that's it because you don't need anything. You don't have to venture out; you don't have to touch the boroughs. You can kind of stay in your neighborhood, and there's everything there.

The thing about our country, Americans, and New Yorkers in particular, we all want to help. There's real folks who want to help. The problem is, they don't know how. They don't know how to get involved.
