I'm proud of where I'm from. I'm proud of Long Island.

Someone peeled back the surface of our town, and the whole country saw what was underneath. By Easter 1980 we were creepier than Amityville.

Gleason used to rack balls for me when he was a kid in Brooklyn and in Long Island.

There are so many different worlds in Long Island. That's why it's so fascinating. Between Great Neck and Montauk, there are 10,000 worlds.

My first job was as a day laborer on the construction of the Long Island Expressway more than 50 years ago.

My grandfather was a cop in Long Island. I often try to draw on things that I've heard about him.
