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.

New York is an ugly city, a dirty city... But there is one thing about it. Once you have lived in New York and it has become your home, no place else is good enough.
‐‐ Lawrence Block
New York is definitely ready for the word of God.
‐‐ Billy Graham
New York is essentially a bazaar, not a Presbyterian church.
‐‐ Pete Hamill
New York is fantastic, and I've done several films in Los Angeles which I really enjoyed, but I don't think that America is the be-all and end-all. I'll follow the good work wherever it may be.
‐‐ Tom Riley
New York is fast paced, with enthusiastic fans and lots of media attention. Houston's slower paced, and there's more of a southern culture to the city. But both cities have unbelievable food.
‐‐ Jeremy Lin
New York is flat - it's ideal for bicycling.
‐‐ Bjarke Ingels
New York is for everybody; it's for the poor, it's for the middle-class, it's for the wealthy. We can't punish any one group and chase them away.
‐‐ John Catsimatidis
New York is full of crazy people, and I like that.
‐‐ Jamie Bell
New York is full of creative people, not only in fashion.
‐‐ Donatella Versace
New York is great, but I miss L.A. - I feel like there was something exotic about L.A. that I kind of underestimated at the time. It was very unfamiliar to me.
‐‐ Emily Mortimer
New York is great, but the New England fans are probably the most knowledgeable and ardent fans, and not just in baseball, but all sports. But Red Sox Nation is Red Sox Nation.
‐‐ Dick Williams
New York is great for busy creative types. The city has a pulse that races, and you either keep up with it or you leave.
‐‐ Raina Telgemeier
New York is hard for me. I grew up in Texas. I can't do without my car, and you can't have a car in New York.
‐‐ Deanna Dunagan
New York is hard living. It's fun living, but it's hard.
‐‐ Casey Wilson
New York is home to me.
‐‐ Rutina Wesley
New York is in my DNA.
‐‐ Joe Lhota
New York is in my soul.
‐‐ Julian Casablancas
New York is kind of a mythological city in may ways.
‐‐ Paul Dano
New York is like a vacation - no beach required.
‐‐ Seann William Scott
New York is like the weirdest city in the United States, in a great way, and Los Angeles is probably more similar to most of America.
‐‐ Ellie Kemper
New York is more where art is bought than where art is made.

New York is my favorite city in the world.
‐‐ Liam Gallagher
New York is my home.

New York is my Lourdes, where I go for spiritual refreshment... a place where you're least likely to be bitten by a wild goat.
‐‐ Brendan Behan
New York is my, you know, second hometown.
‐‐ Masaharu Morimoto
New York is nice, but I don't like it as much as I used to.
‐‐ Julia Louis-Dreyfus
New York is not conductive to theater. New York does not encourage its young. It does not encourage experimentation.
‐‐ Tim Robbins
New York is not going to be a foreign place to me. They didn't revoke my visa.
‐‐ Mallory Factor
New York is not Mecca. It just smells like it.
‐‐ Neil Simon
New York is not the centre for American culture and art that it once was because of the forces of conservatism. Giuliani, capitalism - and then there was 9/11. I really believe that if I leave, it will suffer! Maybe that's why I love it here, because I feel wanted.
‐‐ Rufus Wainwright
New York is, of course, many cities, and an exile does not return to the one he left.
‐‐ John Updike
New York is on a grid system, so it's slightly less challenging logistically, but Londoners are more relaxed in their selling approach. With that intense shopping service in New York, it's easy to get carried away and make a wrong purchase. Here, there's a different flow. You are left to explore, and individuality is key.
‐‐ Erin O'Connor
New York is one of the greatest cities in the world. It is a fitting host to its many international visitors, who can come to witness first-hand what a vibrant multicultural democracy looks like.
‐‐ Ban Ki-moon
New York is only 97 miles from Philadelphia but was the Big Time as no other American city has ever been.
‐‐ Ethel Waters
New York is perfect for Tanizaki because it's filled with so many dark spaces.
‐‐ Cary Fukunaga
New York is really the cheapest ad market. When I go on TV, I'm hitting a country. The market is as big as some countries, you know.
‐‐ Mitch Leigh
New York is really the place to be; to go to New York, you're going to the center of the world, the lion's den.
‐‐ Zubin Mehta
New York is rich in culture, cuisine, and commerce.
‐‐ Patricia Marx
New York is so full of the best unemployed actors on the planet.
‐‐ Rachel McAdams
New York is so serious about the creation of work. Everything is happening so fast, it feels like there's another studio, another session on every block, and I love that.
‐‐ Diplo
New York is something awful, something monstrous. I like to walk the streets, lost, but I recognize that New York is the world's greatest lie. New York is Senegal with machines.
‐‐ Federico Garcia Lorca
New York is still the most glamorous city I've ever been to, but it's starting to feel older. The sirens still wail; the paths in Central Park still pulsate with joggers. The Manhattan schist still trembles beneath your feet. But weirdly, it's starting to feel, dare I say it, a bit quaint.
‐‐ Tom Hollander
New York is still where I live most of the time.
‐‐ Gerry Mulligan
New York is such a competitive place; it tears people apart. People come here and, if they can't make it in the first month, they get torn apart and they have to go back to where they came from. I don't think that's terribly healthy.
‐‐ Moby
New York is such a versatile city, and there's always something new to discover.
‐‐ Abbey Lee Kershaw
New York is the best food city in the world.
‐‐ Joe Bastianich
