New york is the thing that seduced me. new york is the thing that formed me. new york is the thing that deformed me. new york is the thing that perverted me. new york is the thing that converted me. and new york is the thing that i love too.

When we have a better, more social, more responsible, less egotistical, less corrupt system, mexico will be able to give work to the millions of mexicans who have to build our roads, dams, schools, all the things that are left undone in mexico while we have the manpower. there is something very bad going on, on both sides of the border in mexico and the us. but the worker is a worker, not a criminal. so, i am in favor of a solution such as the kennedy-mccain proposals that make it clear what steps have to be taken to accept the fact that the us needs foreign workers.

We've now got a group of young people in this country who for all practical purposes are american. they grew up here. they've gone to school here. they don't know anything other than being american kids. but their parents may have brought them here without all the proper paperwork - might have brought them here when they were three, might have brought them here when they were five. and so, lo and behold, by the time they finish school, and they're ready to go to college, they find out they can't go to college and, in fact, their status as americans are threatened.

I think the best actors in the world are here in new york city. and this city is just so vibrant the energy is just phenomenal. great crews here. all the technicians, all the artists that work in this industry. i've just been very happy with the body that we've been able to do, especially those films we shot here in new york city.

Just me, just me sweet marie, she loves just me (she also loves maurice mcghee). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves louise dupree). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves the willow tree). no she don't, she loves just me! (poor, poor fool, why can't you see she can love others and still love thee.)

I live in new york city. i could never live anywhere else. the events of september 11 forced me to confront the fact that no matter what, i live here and always will. one of my favorite things about new york is that you can pick up the phone and order anything and someone will deliver it to you. once i lived for a year in another city, and almost every waking hour of my life was spent going to stores, buying things, loading them into the car, bringing them home, unloading them, and carrying them into the house. how anyone gets anything done in these places is a mystery to me.
