In New York City, the meek don't inherit the earth. The big mouth does.

In New York City we have the biggest police force in the country. We have 35,000 uniformed officers. We're able to mass officers in significant numbers if we had to.
‐‐ Raymond Kelly
In New York City, when they develop something, they never use the old buildings. It's so wasteful. Why not use what's there?
‐‐ Nellie McKay
In New York City, you can walk down the street and see a girl in a trench who looks equally as cool as a girl wearing Lululemon. It's like you're watching models. You see a little of everything right by you.
‐‐ Hoda Kotb
In New York especially, I always want to wear a nice overcoat to get through the winter: you can wear them so many times, and they make every outfit better.
‐‐ John Legend
In New York, especially, so much of your life is spent on the streets. You don't always want to be driving around in an SUV with a security guard. You want to be able to walk to a restaurant; you want to go and do things.
‐‐ Megan Fox
In New York, everybody is their own celebrity, so they're not so interested in other people.
‐‐ Jesse Eisenberg
In New York, everybody looks great and is well dressed, but seeing someone in Ohio wearing Marc Jacobs is like spotting an owl in Central Park. Rare.
‐‐ Isabel Gillies
In New York, everyone's desperate for success, desperate for money and desperate to be accepted, but in London they're more laid back about things like that.
‐‐ David Bailey
In New York, FEMA granted the Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club's request to be remapped from the high-risk flood zone in August 2012 - just two months before the club was damaged and its outbuildings destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, which stacked up yachts at its docks like pick-up sticks.
‐‐ Bill Dedman
In New York, I am barely recognised, or people don't really care. When I go to Portugal, I go outside to a public place and am recognised constantly.
‐‐ Sara Sampaio
In New York, I get a tremendous amount of ideas by looking at the paintings and the sculptures, adapting artistic endeavors to crafts. There is a lot of inspiration around us that we can see every day and turn into projects.
‐‐ Martha Stewart
In New York, I get people coming up to me because 'The History Boys' was such a hit on Broadway, and they show the film all the time on cable over there, so people recognise you.

‐‐ Shepard Smith
In New York, I live on a compost heap of all the stuff I accumulate.
‐‐ Peter Beard
In New York, I'll walk down the street and someone will say, 'Nice show,' and that's it. If I'm at a food festival, it's open season.
‐‐ Tom Colicchio
In New York, I'm around a lot of the reasons I started playing music in the first place. I live right behind Matt Umanov Guitars. I live on the street that Suze Rotolo and Bob Dylan were walking down on the album cover. I recognize the history.
‐‐ Steve Earle
In New York, I much prefer playing older because as characters get older, they get more interesting.
‐‐ Danny Pintauro
In New York I pretty much live in diners - I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.
‐‐ Lana Del Rey
In New York, I run into Packers fans who have never lived in Wisconsin, Canadiens fans who have never lived in La Belle Province, Celtics fans who admire Russell and Bird and Pierce but have no trace of a Boston accent.
‐‐ George Vecsey
In New York I was always offered the hot, sexy roles. But in L.A. I was offered the plain, dowdy roles. It says a lot about the difference between the coasts.
‐‐ Bebe Neuwirth
In New York I was always so scared of saying that I wrote fiction. It just seemed like, 'Who am I to dare to do that thing here? The epicenter of publishing and writers?' I found all that very intimidating and avoided writing as a response.
‐‐ Jhumpa Lahiri
In New York, I wear dark denim most of the time.
‐‐ Renzo Rosso
In New York, if you weigh under 200 pounds and decline so much as a cookie at a co-worker's party, women will flock to your side, assuring you of your appealing physique. This is how skittish we are about the dangers of anorexia and the pressures of body image.
‐‐ Sloane Crosley
In New York in the Forties or Fifties, everybody's in a suit, an overcoat and a hat.
‐‐ John Malkovich
In New York it seems like there's no Monday or Saturday or Sunday. The town is always moving. The vibe is great.
‐‐ Thierry Henry
In New York, just standing still on the sidewalk is a weird feeling. You have this incessant need to do things. Los Angeles is about kicking back, relaxing, your inner child, peace.
‐‐ Esai Morales
In New York, Kid Carter was pure vanilla for a city with stronger tastes.
‐‐ George Vecsey
In New York one lives in the moment rather more than Socrates advised, so that at a party or alone in your room it will always be difficult to guess at the long term worth of anything.
‐‐ Harold Brodkey
In New York, the average total state and local tax burden is $5,260 for every man, woman and child. That's by far the highest in the country.

In New York, the former lack of real competition allowed taxis to extract excessive charges, regardless of the poor service.
‐‐ Barry Ritholtz
In New York, the Mets are winning the World Series in 1969; that was pretty big, but I would say the moon landing was right up there with the Mets in the World Series. So it made a, a big impression on me as a little kid.
‐‐ Michael J. Massimino
In New York, the street adventures are incredible. There are a thousand stories in a single block. You see the stories in the people's faces. You hear the songs immediately. Here in Los Angeles, there are less characters because they're all inside automobiles.
‐‐ Joni Mitchell
In New York, the theater is a destination point. In Los Angeles, no matter how provocative, how successful, how star-studded the theater event may be, it is, at best, a second-class citizen.
‐‐ Jason Alexander
In New York, the trains run all night, and the cabs are so cheap.
‐‐ Russell Tovey
In New York, there are a lot of plays to see, and I try to see as many as I can.

In New York there isn't that weird palpable competitive thing where it's friendly but everyone isn't trying to top one another with jokes when you're just hanging around.
‐‐ David Cross
In New York, they like winners. They don't like second place.
‐‐ Eli Manning
In New York, we get down. In L.A., everybody's pretty much standing around like they're at a keg stand. You got to get the party started, so I just take my shirt off.
‐‐ Tracy Morgan
In New York, we had primary elections for mayor. To improve their chances, all five candidates changed their name to Rudy Giuliani.
‐‐ Conan O'Brien
In New York, we have laws against defrauding the public, defrauding consumers, defrauding shareholders.
‐‐ Eric Schneiderman
In New York, we're always confined with spaces. Our restaurants are difficult to navigate as cooks and to operate. We fight against the buildings we run in New York.
‐‐ David Chang
In New York, we tip everyone. We tip doormen, we tip cab drivers, and we tip bartenders at the bar. You'll get quite an evil eye if you don't leave a tip at the bar.
‐‐ Zach Braff
In New York, working at the foundry, I was making these little figures. I desperately would like to make big figures, but I just can't do it; my hands don't do it. We were talking about making bronze plinths, and then we made one, a square one. I wrote on it, then I put a little figure on top, and it just looked really good. It worked.
‐‐ Tracey Emin
In New York, you are competing with Times Square lights and all of that, so you've got to be 300 pounds and crazy to get anyone's attention. Then, you can refine yourself. I always knew under those 300 pounds and tracksuits was a refined, slim, dignified man.
‐‐ Al Sharpton
In New York, you can just wake up and everything sorts itself out. I love that, not having a plan.

In New York you can just walk out and be among people. You're on the subway among people, you go to cafes, you can talk to people.
‐‐ Zoe Kazan
In New York, you couldn't wish for a nicer audience, or in L.A., Chicago, Boston. But when you get into secondary markets, they don't have a clue.
