I’m Irish, I’m from New York, and I definitely have issues.
The commentary track became a lot like the movie and there are some funny, long, awkward pauses that you can tell we’re just trying to find stuff to say. None of us had gotten to really talk about the movie until that moment and they were in New York and we were in L.A.
In New York, I’m around a lot of the reasons I started playing music in the first place. I live right behind Matt Umanov Guitars. I live on the street that Suze Rotolo and Bob Dylan were walking down on the album cover. I recognize the history.
What I like about New York City is nobody cares. If they do, they don’t ever approach. They just give you a ‘What’s up?’ and that’s it.
I grew up in a super small town in upstate New York; my nearest neighbour was really far away.
Where is this Hollywood scene, where is it? I’d like to find it one day… If I want to go out and have a good time, I go to New York.
Mike and Heather and I rapped once or twice in New York and then we all wound up on a train together on the way out to Maryland. I think it was about a month and a half from the time we got cast until the time we shot the thing.
When you leave New York, you are astonished at how clean the rest of the world is. Clean is not enough.
We see them when they come to New York. They stay at my wife’s apartment. We have quite a correspondence with them at all times. They play a very important role, the authors in the firm, because so much of the material we publish is suggested by them.
When I went to college, I did clothing and textiles. It really wasn’t until I moved to New York, my second night in, I did stand-up. I took a wild left turn, and instead of going back and finishing school at FIT, I started doing stand-up and acting.
I grew up in the Bronx, but in Riverdale – not exactly an area of New York that’s known for being rough and tumble.
My job requires me to put on a little dress and run around the streets of New York in heels. But I also had the financial means to hire a yoga teacher to come to my house while my sitter watched the newborn. For 95 percent of the world, that’s not realistic.
Trump survives by Corum’s Law. This is a famous, well-tested theory and is named after Bill Corum, who once wrote sports for the Hearst papers when they were in New York.
I still dream about ‘New York’ mag. It’s kind of weird. I dream I’m part-time, and they can’t find a full-time job for me. It’s usually that I can’t find a lead, and I call all my great sources and say, ‘Can you help me out?’
What could I have possibly learned except the really most important thing, which is that I did not want to work at the ‘New York Times’? Beyond that, I learned how a newspaper works.
Basically, Urban Fantasy means D&D in New York. Ordinary people have no idea that they share the world with fantastic, supernatural creatures. It can’t just be vampires or werewolves; it has to be a whole continuum of fantastic beings, with their own society within society.
I had been doing plays in New York and on a whim we packed up and moved West, I started doing commercials and plays and guest star spots on TV and one thing led to another and I got Knots Landing.
I was born in the shadow of World War II, on December 18, 1939, on the South Shore of Long Island, a product of the early -wentieth-century emigration of Eastern European Jewry to New York City and its environs.
I’m from the streets of New York. I know what tough talk sounds like.
At an early age I discovered the beauty in pictures in ‘Vogue’ magazine and Ebony magazine, and I would read ‘The New York Times.’ I had to make my own world within my world because I was an only child.
There’s not really much destruction in New York besides the weather and it’s a natural force so it’s not like any destruction. But LA gets leveled (laughs). That’s my comment to Hollywood.
Once I was standing in line to buy a telephone and Senator Wirth was in line with me. The next day the New York Times reported that we’d both purchased telephones and what price we’d paid!
And I think that even today, New York still has more of this unexpected quality around every corner than any place else. It’s something quite extraordinary.
My first album after ‘American Idol’ I did with Desmond – we paid for it together, and we literally were together working on it every day for a year and half, just writing. We wrote in New York, Nashville, L.A., Sweden – we wrote with some other amazing songwriters like Diane Warren, too.
The large ensemble cast and the fact that it was being shot in New York, combined with a lot of strong positive images as far as African Americans are concerned, really turned me on to The Best Man.
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.
When we won the league championship, all the married guys on the club had to thank their wives for putting up with all the stress and strain all season. I had to thank all the single broads in New York.
I don’t know if I would describe myself as a little goth. But the all black is very New York.
It was in New York, and I’ve always wanted to film in New York. And the writer was a teenage friend of mine. We did youth theatre together when we were 16 and always had a dream of making a film together. And ten years later, we’ve done it. So it’s great.
I don’t really have any plans in terms of what I want to do – movies, television, theater – but I’d love to do a play in New York.
The same music is playing on the radio in San Francisco, New York, Washington DC and Annapolis. Everywhere you go there’s the same artists and same songs by them, over and over again. At some stations they play the same songs 50 to 60 times a week.
I’m impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.
Upstate New York in the middle of October. You can’t get more beautiful than that.
I never really knew what fine cuisine was when I was a little boy in Canada. For me, Italian food was ‘Kraft Dinner’ or pizza. When I moved to New York, that’s when I discovered all the Italian food.
Midwestern Jews is a different community, is a different thing than New York Jews, L.A. Jews. It’s just different. It’s the whole Midwestern thing.
I went to college in Pittsburgh at Carnegie Mellon University… studied acting there. Then I went to New York for about five years. I moved out here about 10 years ago.
I’m an adaptable nomad. I love Paris, I’ve been living in Los Angeles and New York since 1990. I love London, too. My roots are inside of me.
I live in New York and it’s the greatest city, but sometimes I want to move to the place with the porch and the lemonade and the farm.
Totem poles and wooden masks no longer suggest tribal villages but fashionable drawing rooms in New York and Paris.
When you audition for shows in Hollywood, you go in, you do your scene, maybe you get an adjustment. It’s sort of easy, and a lot of times it just feels sort of rote and simple. Whereas when you go to New York and you audition for plays, you walk out sweaty and intimidated and nervous and doubting yourself as an actor.
I heard that after you throw away a ‘New York Times,’ it takes over a hundred years for the lies to biodegrade.
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. The bright lights and hectic night-life images so often found in advertisements and Western media do not reflect every day Japan.
‘The New York Times’ list is a bunch of crap. They ought to call it the editor’s choice. It sure isn’t based on sales.
I flew to New York to do a commercial back in the day when people could meet you at the gate, and the little agent when I came off the plane said, ‘Oh, Miss Carr, we are so happy to have you here.’ I went, ‘Oh, for goodness sakes.’
Sometimes, particularly in summers in New York, I have tried to write in shorts or with no shirt on and found myself unable to do so, the reason being, I take it, that writing, even of the most impersonal sort, is for me a divestment, a striptease, even, so that if I start off undressed, I have nowhere to go.
When I was a kid, my mom used to run the vacuum cleaner, and the noise would bother me so much that I would run into the woods to calm down. I feel like that vacuum cleaner has been on since I moved to New York City.
Ruminants are a perfectly normal thing to possess when you live in upstate New York. It’s just moving scenery. It’s kind of like the equivalent of Great Danes. It’s the way you keep your grass mowed. It’s the way you keep your weed-whacking to a minimum.
It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story.
I think Chicago has provided, for quite a long time, a very high level of stand-up comics that make their way out to New York and L.A.
I’m from New York. You walk by, you bump somebody and they give you a look. There’s always an attitude.
The first book I fell in love with was ‘Little Toot,’ the story of an adorable tugboat operating out of New York Harbor.
I ran the effort to bring the 2012 Olympic Games to New York City. We lost – on a global scale. To my surprise, life went on, and I learnt that nobody cares about your failures as much as you do.
