I started writing about New York as soon as I arrived. I was 19. I used to write short stories and send them out.
I've been seeing a lot of theatre in New York, and I am sort of terribly jealous of everyone on stage but also really appreciating it in a way that you can't when you're in the middle of it.
I had just moved to New York in September 2001, and immediately 9/11 happened, and of course it completely changed the city and everybody who lived there.
When I came to New York after high school in 1959 and started to meet musicians, 'Hot House' was like a standard jam session tune.
The people who whine about Fox News are hypocrites - they say they're totally tolerant, but when they run into someone who doesn't share their assumptions, they say, 'Fox News is evil, and it must be stopped.'
I don't mind doing the green-screen stuff at all, and in fact it's a lot like black-box theater, which I did plenty of in New York.
I have tremendous admiration for everyone who enters the political arena so long as their goal is to do what they believe is right for the people of New York.
I moved to New York from California when I was 11, so initially I was seen as the California person for a while. I didn't feel like I was popular, but I did feel confident.
I'm not trying to take New York by storm. I just want to sneak in there, keep my head down, batten down the hatches and cook.
I wanted to be a theater actress, but I thought it would be easier to get to New York and the theater if I had a name than if I just walked the streets as a little girl from California.
Yeah, but on the U.S Tour we threw a new song into the set almost every night. Ofcourse, you can't do too many new songs every night as they've never heard it.
I want to own the New York Jets, that's what I want. And I absolutely believe I am going to own the Jets.
I do not overlook the fact that the appearance of these new, free nations in the European political community not only celebrates the return of the prodigal son but also creates new sources of friction here and there.
Ford didn't know what to do with Mister Roberts that wasn't repeating what was successful in New York. He was trying to do things to the play that would be his in the film.
I'm still walking around New York like a tourist staring up at all the skyscrapers. I wave at people, I shake hands, I help ladies with strollers.
What all my years in improvisation taught is that - if you're going to grow as a performer - you have to try some new things. You've got to be willing to take a few risks.
Most of the people I write about have been ambitious outlanders who have been attracted to New York from other parts of the world.
I brought Yoko Ono to New York and gave her her first job there. I was editing a magazine called 'Film Culture.'
I know where a lot of them [the elite or elitists] live. Well, in our nation's capital and New York City. I've seen it. I've lived there.
Lincoln's removal from New Salem to Springfield and his entrance into a law partnership with Major John T. Stuart begin a distinctively new period in his career.
The books I read I do enjoy, very much; otherwise I wouldn't read them. Most of them are for review, for the New York Review of Books, and substantial.
