I've been in California for about 15 years now. You're always in your car and insulated. I miss New York so much.

There aren't any liberals left in New York. They've all been mugged by now.

I know it affected me when I saw certain actors growing up. I had a drama teacher that would take us to see plays in New York, and it was seeing James Earl Jones and Raul Julia - I mean, this guy comes from the place my mother comes from. He's doing Shakespeare right now, and it doesn't seem to matter that he has an accent.

Very much as men project weird fantasies on women, the people in New York project weird fantasies on California.

In New York, there are so many potholes, they're like craters on the moon. That's another traffic thing.

I'm convinced that the place, if you have your druthers, to go to have that experience is New York City.
