I went to New York for the first time when I was in college for a school trip and, uh, it did not appeal to me. It was too much hustle and bustle.

I went to New York for the first time when I was in college for a school trip and, uh, it did not appeal to me. It was too much hustle and bustle. And I have since now found a New York where if I lived there now, I know where I would want to live.

Part of that is that New York has proved to be too much fun for me to live and work; I love New York so much.

Places like New York are just too intense, too much about money, too much about ambition; it's all too superficial for me.

New York grabbed me too hard, as did adulthood.

I live in Greenwich Village in New York City, but I rarely write at home, where there's too much else to do.
