People come here to drink and enjoy the beautiful New York skyline, but this makes it harder for them to enjoy themselves,

I believe the people of the city of New York were selected as the people of the year, because of the very brave and heroic way in which they responded from the first moment to the worst attack on the United States ever in our history.

People say we're all identical, but Jennifer Lopez is an American. She's from New York. She doesn't have an accent. Some of these Latin people - their Spanish is pathetic. They learned it when they became famous as Latinos.

She's been a leader out front on World Trade Center health issues, and God knows New York City firefighters were exposed more than any other group.

When I came to New York, I began to meet the people who became the most famous artists of our time. I was insecure about my own level of ability, I didn't know whether I could compete with these people and, at the same time. I was wondering what is this anyway?

Now we understand much more clearly, ... why people from all over the world want to come to New York and to America. It's called freedom.
