Whoever envisions not one but two series in New York?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think you can tell when a New York show isn't shot in the city. It's so iconic and has such a specific energy.
New York is a character, all on its own, and whenever you film there, it becomes part of the show. That's just the nature of being there.
If movies are set in New York, they really should be shot in New York.
It's been fascinating working on a set in New York. Just to be in the thick of it is really interesting, because on any given day you're having to react to what New York is offering, if that's a thunderstorm or blocked traffic or a bunch of noise.
There's no one New York. There's multiple New Yorks.
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.
I really fight hard to make things film where they're supposed to be filmed. If something is supposed to be in New York, then it has to be in New York.
It's a dream for everyone to be a part of an American series - a huge, successful series. It's just a gift for me.
New York's like a boxing match. In Hollywood, it's like a Fellini movie or something.
I am not interested in considering another TV series. This one was a wonderful experience which will be hard to top, and It's caused me to turn down several good film opportunities because of the schedule.
