It's a sad day when the Radio City Christmas show doesn't go on with its live orchestra. People don't pay up to $250 to hear a tape recorder.

It's sad when they advertise a detective slot for $9.50 an hour. I pay my babysitter more.

Crime is an overhead you have to pay if you want to live in the city

We want to make the orchestra more accessible to people who have never been to see a live concert to come and experience one of the best orchestras in North America.

The Afghan people in the city live in something like mud houses, ... If they live out in the country, they live in old-time tents with no electricity. In town, they sleep on top of their houses because it's so hot at night.

We don't feel we should be charged for helping the city do its job.
