I appreciate that the New York Daily News will show dead bodies but blur the cover of a French parody magazine. Just out of respect, right guys?
As a young kid I was in love with breakdancing. I practiced the uprock style, which is a battle style of dance that looks like fighting. It comes from the gangs in New York in the 1960s and '70s. It's beautiful, almost like a martial art, and it can be funny, too, because you make fun of each other.
I hate being in Los Angeles when it's football season. I want to be in New York. It just doesn't feel right if I'm away.
In New York, I much prefer playing older because as characters get older, they get more interesting.
People come to New York to be different, but I go to Starbucks to be the same.
I'd work to make it hip again to spend time in our fabled and fabulous land. But with a Puerto Rican father and a Jewish mother, I would probably be better suited as mayor of New York.
When you go into a college of education you've got aspirations of making a difference in people's lives, of loving children, of working with kids, but none of that is affirmed in your college of education. Then you go working in schools, especially in places like New York City and Chicago that I'm most familiar with, and you find these huge aspirations are beaten out of you in a very systematic way - and still people persevere.
I just would like to spend more time in New York City.
If you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere; it's up to you, New York, New York.
My ideal city is more like the city (New York and Paris come to mind, but it sort of applies to all) that existed up to and including the 1930s, when different classes lived all together in the same neighborhoods, and most businesses of any sort were mom-and-pop, and people and things had a local identity.
In Boston they ask, how much does he know? In New York, how much is he worth? In Philadelphia, who were his parents?
I was in New York. Hitchcock was in California. He rang me to make a report on his progress and said, I'm having trouble. I've just sacked my second screenwriter
An unspeakable tragedy, confirmed to us by ABC News in New York City: John Lennon, outside of his apartment building on the West Side of New York City, the most famous, perhaps, of all the Beatles, shot twice in the back, rushed to Roosevelt Hospital, dead. . . on. . . arrival. Hard to go back to the game after that news flash, which in duty bound, we have to take.
When Mrs. Clinton ran for office, she promised economic growth across New York state, to bring in more than 200,000 jobs,. . . She has not. We have lost jobs to outsourcing and globalization and to sending our jobs and industries to foreign countries.
I read something in the paper that really confused me the other day. It said that 80 percent of the people in New York are minorities. Shouldn't you not call them minorities when they get to be 80 percent of the population? That's a very white attitude, don't you think? I mean, you could take a white guy to Africa and he'd be like 'Look at all the minorities around here! I'm the only majority. '
I like church. It's empty when I go. I walk around. There are so many beautiful Catholic churches in New York.
I did a comparison of a school of architects known as the New York Five. I compared their articulation of wall surfaces, which I enjoyed very much
The mania started with insomnia and not eating and being driven, driven to find an apartment, driven to see everybody, driven to do New York, driven to never shut up.
I love working in New York theater.
And I loved seeing that because they're great interesting cities in of themselves so I'm looking forward to actually being able to use it as itself instead of being a bad New York.
