A part of me is a liberal New Yorker involved in politics and certain attitudes about movies. I kind of lost my indie credibility over ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith.’ I know I haven’t lost it. I just have to go make an independent movie. I just have to do it. Just for me.
I am a New Yorker.
I am the young, edgy New Yorker.
I like to think of myself as a New Yorker, which is pathetic.
Let’s say honorary favorite New Yorker is John Lennon, and favorite real New Yorker is Biggie, because he’s the best.
Technically, I’m a New Yorker.
I had a brief period of questioning whether I should perhaps adopt a child. And my New Yorker editor, Henry Finder, was horrified by the notion.
Having recorded his first album, ‘Tapestry,’ in 1969, in Berkeley, California, during the student riots, McLean, a native New Yorker, became a kind of weather vane for what he called the ‘generation lost in space.’
Eventually, my highbrow parents, who so hated the Eisenhower suburban culture of the 1950s that the only magazines they subscribed to were ‘The Atlantic’ and ‘The New Yorker,’ broke down and got ‘Life’ magazine.
I feel like I just have such the blood and bones of a New Yorker that I can almost imagine better, like, giving up the fight and not being able to afford the city and going out West, keeping a small place here, and then when I’m like 80, coming back here, living on the park and going to the theater.
Just because you read a report in the ‘New York Times,’ the ‘Economist,’ or, yes, ‘The New Yorker’ doesn’t make it true. But we do know that a few people have evaluated that story with what strikes me as fairly objective standards of reason.
I was such a New Yorker, I hardly knew what the Oscars were.
I’m a born and bred New Yorker. I belong here. Everytime I leave it’s like losing a leg.
While I’m a New Yorker at heart, and ‘Harlem Honey’ runs through my veins, Atlanta – its awesome residents and glorious landscapes – has a special place in the hearts of my family and I.
But one sets of grandparents lived on Davidson Avenue in the Bronx and one lived in Manhattan and I had an aunt and uncle in Queens, so in my heart I was a New Yorker.
I’ve actually enjoyed my time in L.A. more than a New Yorker is supposed to.
‘All In’ is like the Giants motto, so I kind of took that, and I kind of used New York as the backdrop – how diehard New Yorkers are for their team. Me being a New Yorker, I just had to show my love for the city as well as my love for the New York Giants.
If you appear in the ‘Atlantic’ or ‘Harper’s’ or the ‘New Yorker,’ by God, you must be a writer, because everybody says so.
Every hard working New Yorker, regardless of their income, race, or gender deserves an equal shot at attaining retirement security.
It’s a project that touched me as an immigrant and as a New Yorker.
Reading ‘The New Yorker’ – I start on the last page and go backwards, reading all the cartoons. Then I read ‘Shouts and Murmurs.’ Then I read the reviews. Then I read the articles that immediately appeal to me.
I’ve lived in other cities – Rome, Dublin, Mexico City – but I was born in New York City, and I always lived in those other places as a New Yorker.
In the New Yorker library, I have long been shelved between Nadine Gordimer and Brendan Gill; an eerie little space nestled between high seriousness of purpose and legendary lightness of touch.
When you live in New York, one of two things happen – you either become a New Yorker, or you feel more like the place you came from.
I travel so much when I work, I’ve really been happy to do ‘Nice Work’ because I feel like a true New Yorker again. I have my little regimen during the day, and I can take advantage of the museums and the things that I love. And people watching!
I stay up on current events. I read ‘The New Yorker’ and ‘The Economist.’ I go to community meetings to see what concerns the people in my neighborhood. I studied literature in college, so I also continue to read poetry, literature, and novels.
New York’s my home. Born and raised. I’m a New Yorker to the bone.
I get ‘The New Yorker,’ and I’m usually about three issues behind. But I do catch up. The problem is that it always seems like homework, but then you start reading it and go, ‘Why am I not doing this all the time? These are such great stories!’ But, yeah, that stack gets so big and dense.
Being a New Yorker and someone that goes to MoMA as a patron, I want it to be good.
I’ve made so many films in New York. There was an assumption I think a lot of people had that I am a New Yorker, that I am from New York, and I always felt like nothing could be further from the truth.
If someone lives in New York, he’s a New Yorker – they are entitled to the best medical system in the world.
Although it’s not something I’m particularly proud of, I’m willing to admit that, in addition to whiling away the long stretches of time in the air and waiting in airport lounges reading the ‘New Yorker’ and ‘New York Times’ on my Kindle, I’ve picked up the occasional tabloid magazine.
I mostly read online – tech/VC blogs. I also enjoy the ‘NY Times’, ‘Atlantic’, ‘New Yorker’.
Every New Yorker has the right to clean air, safe drinking water, and healthy communities to raise their children – and you can rest assured that I will aggressively protect that right, not just on Earth Day, but every day.
