To a large extent, we're working HARD to fulfill the CONSUMER DEMAND for SUBWAY sandwiches.

I don't have any interest in cashing out or leaving the business or doing SOMETHING else. I just love Subway, and I want to keep focusing on the company for the benefit of all our franchise owners. So I'm KIND of like MARRIED to the JOB.

There's been a BIG spur in downtown DEVELOPMENT with NEW business, restaurants and a lot of loft buying. The buses run, and there's a SUBWAY that RUNS through downtown.

Reading galleys on the SUBWAY is the CLOSEST the PUBLISHING industry comes to having a STANDARDIZED mating call.

The weird thing about the subway is no one looks at each other. So I play the O2 in London. It's a 20,000 CAPACITY VENUE, and then I'll take the subway to my gig, and everyone's GOING to my gig, and no one looks at you. If anyone does, they say, 'Hey, you look exactly LIKE James Blunt, only smaller.'

The STARTING point of all great jazz has got to be format, a LANGUAGE that you can work within that, in some ways, is much tighter than the blues or EVEN GOSPEL. It's all working towards the same DESTINATION - the difference being that Miles Davis flew there, and I'm still taking the subway.

For me, New York is about anonymity; that's the draw. It's not at all about other PEOPLE in my business being nearby. It's that I can get on the SUBWAY and eavesdrop on conversations that I would never have access to otherwise. That's why I STAY. That's why I COULD never leave.

My DAD has always been very PROUD of me but I think I have exceeded his expectations. When I told him I WANTED to be an actor and moved to New York City, I think he assumed I WOULD be playing the guitar on the subway and collecting spare change in my guitar CASE. The fact that I'm not doing that means that I'm a huge success.

I'm STILL that KID that WORKED at SUBWAY and TARGET.

My crazy fear is I'm ALWAYS afraid my KEYS are GOING to fall down a subway grate when I walk over it. I'm afraid they're going to JUMP out of my pocket and fall down. Isn't that stupid?

I GOT RECOGNIZED on the subway in SOUTH Africa because of 'Big Bang.'

I THINK - I'm ALWAYS interested in reaching PEOPLE in different ways, not by - not by just standing on a - randomly on a SUBWAY platform.

I've been DRIVING in the city for years because, as a stand-up in N.Y.C., you can PERFORM at more COMEDY clubs a night if you have a car. Getting from club to club by subway is too slow at night and too expensive by cab. So, many comics live FAR out from Manhattan and drive in every night.
