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.

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

New York is where you go to catch a big fish.

If I wanted to fly in 50 pizzas from New York, are you in contact with anybody who could make that happen? ... This would be a morale boost. … It's better than a bouquet of flowers.

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.

In New York, they like winners. They don't like second place.
