I'm proud of where I'm from. I'm proud of Long Island.

I grew up in Far Rockaway and then Long Island.

My wife and I live in Brooklyn, N.Y., not too far from where my Long Island childhood happened.

I grew up on a tiny little island.

I'm sure you're used to hearing that when people get to Long Island for the first time, it's a bit of a shock to the system. But I found Long Island people very endearing.

I like islands.

I have this weird tropism for islands. Take me to an island as far from New York as I can possibly go.

Yes, I was born in Coney Island. The Holy Land.

California is an island, and New York's an island. Maybe it's time for me to change islands.

I'm from an island, so I've always been near the water. I don't think I could live somewhere far from the sea.
