Jeff Foxworthy

Those people in New York are not gonna change me none.
Elvis Presley

For centuries, New York has served as the gateway for millions of people from all over the world in search of the American dream. It only makes sense that it would now serve as a gateway for the world's greatest athletes.

I always find it kind of embarrassing, kind of funny, and kind of exciting. In New York I'm recognized a lot, although nobody says anything. You know, they stare at you just a second too long. But in Paris it's not as commonplace to be recognized.
Marc Jacobs

Larry David

Right now a lot of people are still choosing to go to Toronto instead of shooting in New York City, something I haven't done and something I hope I'll never have to do.
Spike Lee

I live in New York City, the stories of my films take place in New York; I'm a New York filmmaker.

The Metropolis should have been aborted long before it became New York, London or Tokyo.
