When you move to New York, especially, you feel like you need to be something.

I like a New York accent.

I really feel that New York City is the greatest city in the world.

I moved to New York and couldn't get a job as an actor. And waited tables for so long.

New York is very provincial. They're very cut-off; they don't have an awareness of so much that is going on in the world.

From that time through the time I was a New Dramatist, when I was something like twenty-two, I saw absolutely everything in New York. Absolutely everything.
