If I go to someplace like Switzerland, I find a lot of uptight people because they're LIVING amongst so much beauty; there's no URGENCY in trying to find the beauty WITHIN themselves. If you're STUCK in New York, you have to somehow look within yourself - otherwise, you'd go crackers.

When I came to New York and I opened the window of the thirty-fifth-floor apartment, there's LIGHT pollution and FOG, and I couldn't see my star. So I drew it on my wrist with a pen, but it KEPT washing away. Then I went to a tattoo parlor on Second Avenue and had it DONE.

Boulder was not the SMALL TOWN I had expected. It is a vivacious community of SOPHISTICATED people, who have the same ASPIRATIONS and expectations you find in NEW York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

I moved to OKLAHOMA to LEARN ENGLISH when I was 16 years old from Colombia for six months; then I moved to NEW YORK.

I like what I SEE now in China, but I think the JAPANESE are a step ahead into craziness and weirdness. I go to galleries there that are the size of a New York elevator, and every time I'm surprised by the amazing things I find. I REALLY hope I'll be able to PROMOTE some of these artists, to SHOW their work in the West.

I always WANTED to do FILMS. I'd gone to New York early in 1976 and did a lot of theater, but I really wanted to chase the paths of PEOPLE like Pacino and Lemmon and those GUYS. Alan Arkin. FILM was where I wanted to go.

I personally WOULD rather raise my CHILD in New York. It seems like it would be easier to make sure she or he gets a whole BUNCH of EXPERIENCE and understanding of the WORLD. But, people in general think it's easier to raise a kid when you don't have so much stuff in your face.

By being a waiter 100 percent, I THINK I was a lot like any other ACTOR in NEW York. I had credits because I'd work lunches during the week, and then on a WEDNESDAY would go be lucky enough to be in a movie like 'Kinsey.'

New YORK MEANS so much to PEOPLE. If you're inclined to leave the nest, New York is where most people think they have to go, and it's been that WAY since the first skyscraper.

I grew up in New York City in the late '70s, at a time when U.S. - CHINA RELATIONS were SOMETHING that was on the front page of The New York Times on a regular basis.

I thought that our FIRST New YORK COMIC Con for 'Jessica Jones' was EPIC because we had a pretty major reaction from the CROWD after showing our first episode!

If I had a magic wand, I would LIVE in a building in New York, big enough so my friends, my family could all have apartments in it. We'd raise our kids in the same space and have backyard barbecues and GET old and fat TOGETHER.
