I don’t use any real vintage hardware any longer. That’s always been the object as far as gaining control of the studio environment, going back to when I built my first studio, Secret Sound, in New York City. The whole point was to not have to pay studio bills anymore and not be looking at the clock.
I was 11 years old and horse-obsessed. New York City was an unfortunate place for a girl like me to be growing up.

I am a dude who is meant to be on a couch in New York City thumbing through magazines.
It was a choice between a paint factory in Indianapolis – a management training program to maybe run the paint factory one day – or go to New York City and become an investment banker. It wasn’t a very difficult decision.
I was in New York City for September 11th, and I was there for the 2003 blackout. I think in hindsight, you get a real perspective as to how unique those moments of crisis are in a place like New York City.
I’ve got 50,000 Facebook fans inside of Iran, and Facebook is banned in Iran. I think the people who follow ‘Humans of New York’ the most after New York City is Tehran. I have a really special affection for the Persian people because they’ve really taken to my work.
I didn’t grow up, really, in the film business, even though my parents are both artists. I grew up in New York City. They would never put me into acting. I just kind of wanted it, and I told them that.

New York City is the greatest city on the planet. It’s the capital of the world.
I run New York City!

I mean New York City is the financial capital of the world. It’s where all the money passes through, the Dow Jones, whatever, that’s where all the money goes.
Introduced to this world in Llandyssul, Cardiganshire, Wales, November 14, 1843, I celebrated my first anniversary by landing at Castle Garden, in New York City.
You don’t really have to go anywhere in particular in New York City to have a good time. In every part of town, there’s always something going on. It helps to know people there, too, because everything changes so fast, and they will be able to point out what’s hot this month.
I was actually born in New York City, but my family moved to Atlantic City when I was five, this being my dad’s home town, so I think that qualifies me as a Jersey resident if not a bona fide native.

I knew I wanted to be a ballet dancer, but what kind, I wasn’t sure. My two dream companies had been New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theater.
I had thought that Tokyo would be like New York City, but it wasn’t. I’d imagined that they’d be similar in their bustle and noise level, but, in fact, Tokyo is a very calm metropolis.

Charter opponents often try to delegitimize strong testing results like those in Boston by attributing them to excessive test prep – as New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio did recently.
I got extreme street credibility from my high school-aged son. He’s like, ‘Dad, the fact that you’re in ‘American Horror Story’ is absolutely cool!’ I was like, ‘Okay, but I’m not sure if it’s appropriate for you.’ And he was like, ‘Dad, come on! I’m a New York City kid – in high school.’
I remember my own life as a small boy, son of Jewish immigrants, in a janitor’s flat on Orchard and Stanton streets on the Lower East Side of New York City. My father made pants and doubled as janitor of a tenement – before he made janitoring at $30 a month, plus rooms, a career.
Amazon’s capitulation to those opposed to their expansion in New York City is an epic moment for people power over an enormous corporate bully.
I’m a New Yorker. I was there during 9/11, and I saw how, not only New York City stopped for a moment, we all took an inhale and exhale at the same time – the world united at that time, and it changed my life. I think millions of people were forever changed.

When I was in high school, I was doing a fashion show, and my House Father would host fashion shows at the school. He was great at it. He saw me and said, ‘That’s my daughter.’ The rest was history! We went to New York City to rehearse and go to balls, and I was in the ballroom scene until I was 17 years old.
I sound, convincingly, twice my age whenever I visit New York City neighborhoods I frequented in my 20s and grumble about how much they have changed.

When you go back to ‘Friends,’ and you look at that as New York, there’s no black people. That’s not real. You’re in New York City, and there’s no black people at all. That’s a little funny.

I wanted to be a New York City cop before I became an actor.
