New York is an incredible place to be an artist, because there are so many incredible people, and... it's all about the people that you get exposed to.

I'm convinced that the place, if you have your druthers, to go to have that experience is New York City.

I miss New York terribly. There is no place like the city. I miss people-watching. I miss the nightlife. I miss the food. There are so many options in New York City.

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

New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.

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