It's the only thing to do when you're in London - hang out in a taxi.
What I found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffany's. It calms me down right away, the quietness and the proud look of it;nothing very bad could happen to you there.

That came from my mother. She was the biggest influence on my life. I remember once refusing to get on a bus with her because she was wearing a mink, and I thought we should be taking a taxi.

'Taxi Driver' was the best thing that ever happened to me, and I didn't become a weirdo and squawk like a chicken.

Women often don't want to admit that they like fashion. And yet fashion enthralls everyone, from the taxi driver to the mega-intellectual. I have often asked myself why this is. I don't know the answer.
The best moment of love is when the lover leaves in the taxi.
I had a job as a paralegal. I drove a cab.
I'm shocked at being recognized. You go to places you don't think you would be and still, you are. Taxi drivers often recognise me. . . but I haven't got a free ride yet.
You know, one of the biggest thrills I have is when famous people recognize me from Taxi.
I'd love to be approached to do ordinary things more.
