City Quotes

I loved ‘Chicago Code;’ I watched that a lot. It was great because it really captured the city - I’m from Chicago, too Picture Quote #1

If you smash a city when you’re trying to capture it, you actually end up providing the perfect terrain for the defenders while blocking the access for your own armoured vehicles Picture Quote #1

Because the nights bring the threat of invasion and terror to the villages, thousands of children in northern Uganda have become night commuters, leaving the nightmare of capture behind for the safety of the city Picture Quote #1

In Copenhagen, we all ride bicycles everywhere, partly because it is impossible to park a car, but also because you can cross the city in 20 minutes on a bike Picture Quote #1

Whether you live in a city or a small town, and whether you drive a car, take the bus or ride a train, at some point in the day, everyone is a pedestrian Picture Quote #1

I’ve always loved dogs and have had one since I was three. We bought her from a kid selling puppies out of a cardboard box on the street where we lived in New York City. Great dog. We named her ‘Marcella’ after a Raggedy Ann character. She grew up with us Picture Quote #1

If you have one of the worst schools in the city, then chances are the teachers are not going to care for you. Chances are the parents don’t feel seriously about coming to meet with teachers Picture Quote #1

Toting around a full orchestra on tour is very ambitious. I would consider doing a show now and then, like do a show at Radio City or Carnegie Hall with a full orchestra Picture Quote #1

My wife, she is so good. She was a famous singer - had a show in Carnegie Hall, did a big city tour for RCA. Then she made the mistake of marrying me. The next year, another tour, but the third year, she had Mario and said, ‘Either I’m a mother or a singer.’ Picture Quote #1

I was in New York City on 9/11. Grief remains from that awful day, but not only grief. There is fear, too, a fear informed by the knowledge that whatever my worst nightmare is, there is someone out there embittered enough to carry it out Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to photograph an old offshore oil city that is lying in decay in the Caspian Sea, but I’ve been having a hard time getting there Picture Quote #1

The fact that more than half of the young black men in any large American city are currently under the control of the criminal justice system (or saddled with criminal records) is not - as many argue - just a symptom of poverty or poor choices, but rather evidence of a new racial caste system at work Picture Quote #1

I run from Horatio Street down just past Battery Park City and back. It’s amazing to run and see the Statue of Liberty and the ferries coming in. People think if you’re not near Central Park, there’s nowhere to go, but there’s a whole ecosystem happening down here Picture Quote #1

I love the Park. I like to walk on the East River, too, up at Gracie Square, but Central Park is my favorite part of the city Picture Quote #1

I lived in New York City for a while and miss it like it’s a person. Although I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, I’m a New Yorker at heart. A stroll through Central Park, a visit to the MET, a show on Broadway. There is no other city like it in the world! Picture Quote #1

I want to be on that team that wins the world championship here in Chicago and sees the city go crazy Picture Quote #1

New York has always been a city of change and a city about change, and it is a back-leading development. Nobody’s going to want to come to New York if it looks like another strip mall Picture Quote #1

Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs though, it’s intimate and psychological, a mystery resist to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to change the culture in New York City; that’s hard enough! Picture Quote #1

When I saw the 2010 Games and speed skating, I had a change of heart. I had always dreamed of being an Olympian, and something clicked inside of me. I knew I had to move to Salt Lake City and make this dream a reality Picture Quote #1

I’m a native of L.A. I’ve seen the city change and develop over time, and I still believe there’s no place like home Picture Quote #1

The right to the city is far more than the individual liberty to access urban resources: it is a right to change ourselves by changing the city Picture Quote #1

I started off at the Second City in Chicago... It’s an improvisational theater that ostensibly does social and political satire, but when I was there, we generally didn’t. We did character work, and we did just the silliest things we could think of. We weren’t all that concerned with, you know, changing the world through mime Picture Quote #1

If I won the lottery I’d start a charity that helped little family hardware stores, cobblers and fruit shops open in city centres Picture Quote #1

I was very lucky that while I was a chess player in a country where chess was not a big deal, I happened to be in the one city where there was a sprouting chess team: Chennai Picture Quote #1

Chicago is not the most corrupt American city. It’s the most theatrically corrupt Picture Quote #1

Chicago’s like Melbourne - there’s a city center, there’s public transport, and there’s more of a cultural scene Picture Quote #1

I came out of the old Second City in Chicago. Chicago actors are more hard-nosed. They’re tough on themselves and their fellow actors. They’re self-demanding Picture Quote #1

Chicago is a city of contradictions, of private visions haphazardly overlaid and linked together Picture Quote #1
