If London is a watercolor, New York is an oil painting.
Highly placed New York kingmakers work toward ‘convergence’ between the Republican and Democratic parties so as to preserve their ‘America Last’ foreign policy and eliminate foreign policy from political campaigns.
New York is the first place I have ever felt safe.
In New York, I run into Packers fans who have never lived in Wisconsin, Canadiens fans who have never lived in La Belle Province, Celtics fans who admire Russell and Bird and Pierce but have no trace of a Boston accent.

Every person that’s in the NBA should experience playing in New York at least once in their career.
Games of chance often involve some amount of skill; this does not make them legal. Good poker players often beat novices. But poker is still gambling, and running a poker room – or online casino – is illegal in New York.
I am the oldest young designer in New York City.
I read the ‘New York Times’, I read ‘The Nation’, I read ‘Newsweek’, I read ‘Time Magazine’, I read ‘Politico’, I read ‘Mediaite’. This is what I do! I read every day, I have interests, I’m like everybody out there who’s watching, who’s out there watching, you know?
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.
I was modeling with an agency in New York and a manager with the agency introduced himself to me one day and he said he had auditions for someone my age. He asked if I would be interested in doing some.
The fact of the matter is that whether it’s in London or Egypt or Turkey or New York or Washington, we have to pay the price of guarding ourself, which is internal vigilance.
I wonder if I ever thought of an ideal reader… I guess when I was in my 20s and in New York and maybe even in my early 30s, I would write for my wife Janice… mainly for my poet friends and my wife, who was very smart about poetry.
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’m Irish, I’m from New York, and I definitely have issues.
I love New York. But the energy is so intense.
I remember, in my first show in New York, they asked, ‘Where is the Indian-ness in your work?’… Now, the same people, after having watched the body of my work, say, ‘There is too much Indian philosophy in your work.’ They’re looking for a superficial skin-level Indian-ness, which I’m not about.
New York state ethics rules prohibit lawyers from soliciting gifts from clients ‘for the benefit of the lawyer or a person related to the lawyer.’
In New York, we had primary elections for mayor. To improve their chances, all five candidates changed their name to Rudy Giuliani.
When my dad visited me while I was doing a play in New York City two years ago, I took him to see ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert.’ Now I’m going to his house. It’s surreal.
I’d like to do Harvey again. I did it two years ago with Helen Hayes in New York. It was a joy. I was so glad to do it again because I never thought I did it right the first time.
I ended up going to college for visual arts but moved up to New York after I graduated from college in 2006 and started going gung ho to the Upright Citizens Brigade, and I realized that that was what I was really interested in and what I really wanted to do.
My weekends start at about 4 P.M. on Friday afternoon, when I let go of work and leave my colleagues to crawl through the rest of the day in our New York offices.
My girlfriend Siri is a food blogger, and we both love to entertain and eat. This is what happens when you’re in your thirties: what was once a passion and real appetite for nightlife in New York City manifests itself into other things, like entertaining at home.
I shop only at thrift stores and vintage stores. In New York, I like a place called Star Struck, and a place called The Family Jewels.

The New York fashion scene is crazy, madness, but I love the energy.
I spoke bluntly about what I had seen in a little over a year as United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. To the apparent surprise of many in the room, I observed publicly that insider trading appeared to be rampant.
When I walk down the street in New York, I swear to God, the building constructor, the guy pounding cement and what not, will yell, ‘Hey, you hockey puck!’
If you started in New York you were dealing with the biggest guys in the world. You’re dealing with Charlie Parker and all the big bands and everything. We got more experience working in Seattle.
My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the ‘New York Times’ Building.
I was born on 22 March 1931 in New York, the elder child of Abraham and Fanny Richter.
My mother witnessed the martyrdom of her husband, Hajj Malik Shabazz, Malcolm X, on Sunday, February 21, 1965, at the Audubon Ballroom in New York City. My older sisters, Attallah, Qubilah and I were seated with our mother up front and stage right.
It seemed like I woke up one morning and had an epiphany. I thought, ‘I cannot do this. I do not want to get married. And I’m not going to law school – it just doesn’t excite me. I’m not wasting anybody’s money. I’m going to move to New York.’
But I love New York. I used to set my alarm clock when I was there, and get up at 4am and get a coffee, just because I could.
Not everybody even gets to live with their own family because they have to go to L.A. or New York or wherever to work and find a job and leave their family back home. But every day, I get to work with my family – if I want to.
I had saved a lot of money working at Mrs. Fields’ Chocolate Chip Cookies, ushering at the Golden Gate Theatre, and doing odd jobs so I could live in New York for a few months. If it ran out, I would have to give up and go home. It turned out OK. I got my Equity card and started working.
I have tender, romantic associations with upstate New York.
Halloween is bigger than Christmas in America. I’ve experienced it in New York, Los Angeles and Washington D.C., and if you’re in the right neighbourhood, every house is decorated with spooky ghosts, spider webs, and jack-o-lanterns.
I love shopping in New York just because you walk around and find a little store you’ve never saw before, and you’re like, ‘Oh what’s that? This is my new favorite place.’ I love that about New York.
Every time when they would call my name I kept hearing ‘New York Knicks’ instead of ‘Seattle SuperSonics.’
I think me leaving Detroit shaped my style. Me leaving, going to New York, going to L.A. and seeing what they were doing there. I think that inspired me more than what people were doing back home.
I love New York. A part of me will always be here. What can I say.
L.A., it’s nice, but I think of sunshine and people on rollerblades eating sushi. New York, I think of nighttime, I think of Times Square and Broadway and nightlife and the city that never sleeps.
At 25, I had lost my job due to the economy, and my family wanted me to become a policeman or firefighter, but I knew there were other things out there for me. I sent some pictures to New York City and a model agency called and said, ‘Where have you been?’
The streets of New York are diverse, but when you go into a Broadway show, unless Denzel Washington is in it, or Fantasia’s in it, it’s a lot of old white people and gay men.
I had never been to Texas. I’d been through Texas, but I’m so glad to be back in a place that’s not L.A. or New York. To talk about Dallas, to talk about there being sweet tea on the catering table, it’s rich and saturated in American-ness.
I heard that after you throw away a ‘New York Times,’ it takes over a hundred years for the lies to biodegrade.
I was a single dad in New York City, raising a child and pursuing a career.
I was born in Boston. I spent time in Boston and in Spain. My family now lives in Spain. I moved to New York when I was 19 years old and I have lived here ever since. For me, I feel like I have spent 10 years sharing that story over and over again. And now it seems like it’s not enough.
I wrote a book of essays about New York called ‘The Colossus of New York,’ but it’s not about – you know, when I’m writing about rush hour or Central Park, it’s not a black Central Park, it’s just Central Park, and it’s not a black rush hour, it’s just rush hour.
I’m a neurotic New York Jew by birth. Creating characters is second nature to me.
I go to Paris, I go to London, I go to Rome, and I always say, ‘There’s no place like New York. It’s the most exciting city in the world now. That’s the way it is. That’s it.’
Chinatown is tremendously interesting… It’s a part of the city that hasn’t really been explored in crime literature or in any general literature. It’s as though Chinatown didn’t exist. People write about New York without mentioning Chinatown at all.
