I was a mechanic at a go-cart place, a deejay at a roller rink, a telemarketer in New York, a grocery bagger.

New York is the one place in America where discount retailing is really underdeveloped. The major chains have only really gotten there in the last four to five years.

No place epitomizes the American experience and the American spirit more than New York City.

In New York, they like winners. They don't like second place.

New York is not going to be a foreign place to me. They didn't revoke my visa.

New York is a wonderful place to be up, an awful place to be down.
