Text Quotes
When I was 18, I lived in Greenwich Village, New York, for nine months. At that time, I wanted to change the world, not through architecture, but through painting. I lived the artist’s life, mingling with poets and writers, and working as a waiter. I was intrigued by the aliveness of the city.  (York Quotes) I always wanted to be an actor, but I always loved design, and growing up in New Orleans there was such great style, great architecture. I would decorate my little apartment in New York over and over again, because it only had a couple of rooms. And I did it for friends and family on the side just for fun.  (York Quotes) I always had some kind of creative side and technical side, and I thought architecture might be the way to combine them, so I went to architecture school in New York.  (York Quotes) I first saw ‘West Side Story’ on stage in 1958. I was in the army, having been conscripted while under contract to MGM. I caught the musical in New York, fell in love with it, bought the album, and memorised the whole thing.  (York Quotes) Because of my own family’s service (in the U.S. Army, Navy, and Massachusetts and New York National Guard), I am a strong supporter of the military and do believe that there are just wars.  (York Quotes) General Washington had rather incautiously encamped the bulk of his army on Long Island - a large and plentiful district about two miles from the city of New York.  (York Quotes) I love Mexico because that’s where I’m from, but my favorite city, whenever I need to recharge, I love Paris. I get very inspired while I’m there. There’s so much art and culture, and Paris, before New York, that was the capital of the world. And I love history too, so I go there. It does something special to me.  (York Quotes) The New York playgoer is a child of nature, and he has an honest and wholesome regard of whatever is atrocious in art.  (York Quotes) I got a liberal arts education just because I felt like I should to keep my parents happy, but it was for them. If it was up to me, I would’ve just moved to New York.  (York Quotes) Nationally, more than one million Asian American entrepreneurs create jobs in their communities, helping fuel local commerce. In New York, we have seen firsthand how this community has helped drive our economy forward through hard work and ingenuity.  (York Quotes) I was 28, and my mom was living with me. I had to decide. You have to claim it; you can’t ask permission. After a gig in Singapore, she went home, I went to New York on my own, I packed her stuff in boxes and sent it home. I don’t think she liked me for a while for doing that. It was something I needed to do to carve out my own space.  (York Quotes) I was actually born in New York City, but my family moved to Atlantic City when I was five, this being my dad’s home town, so I think that qualifies me as a Jersey resident if not a bona fide native.  (York Quotes) My piece in One World or None was the description of the effect of a single atomic bomb on New York City.  (York Quotes) You have to have an attitude that nothing’s gonna stop me. I think that’s just my New York kind of attitude - survival of the fittest.  (York Quotes) I’ve been an audience member for friends in plays that I don’t enjoy and I have to lie to their faces. It’s just part of that lifestyle unfortunately, especially in New York.  (York Quotes) Boston is not an avant garde place. It stays literally 15 to 20 years behind New York at all times.  (York Quotes) When I came to New York in 1949, there was already an entire fresh avant-garde film movement blooming in New York and California. It was a very, very exciting period!  (York Quotes) In New York, the average total state and local tax burden is $5,260 for every man, woman and child. That’s by far the highest in the country.  (York Quotes) Thomas Young was born in 1731 in upstate New York. The child of impoverished Irish immigrants, he grew up in a log cabin without the benefit of a formal education. But he was an avid reader who began collecting books at a young age and eventually amassed one of the finest personal libraries in New England.  (York Quotes) Authorities in New York City have foiled a plot by terrorists to blow up the Holland Tunnel. There was one awkward moment when officials informed President Bush the Holland Tunnel was safe. Bush then thanked the Dutch authorities for all their help.  (York Quotes) A very awkward situation occurs often in New York City when you are walking down a relatively empty sidewalk and there happens to be a person walking right next to you in the same direction as you at the exact same pace as you. I never know whether to pass or draft. It becomes sort of a strange competition.  (York Quotes) One of the beauties of B2B is that there is a finite number of customers. So the marketing costs are much different. You don’t have to take out Super Bowl ads or plaster the New York subway system.  (York Quotes) In 1922 everything changed again. The Eskimo pie was invented; James Joyce’s Ulysses was printed in Paris; snow fell on Mauna Loa, Hawaii; Babe Ruth signed a three-year contract with the New York Yankees; Eugene O’Neill was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama; Frederick Douglass’s home was dedicated as a national shrine; former heavyweight champion of the world Jack Johnson invented the wrench...  (York Quotes) I had my boy in Boston on Easter Sunday. That kills me, from a sports perspective. He’s a Boston baby and I’m a New York guy.  (York Quotes) I moved from Chicago to New York in 1984 for ‘Biloxi Blues.’ In 1989, my wife and our then-baby daughter moved to Los Angeles to try to get in television.  (York Quotes) I did not move to New York with a plan. The first time I moved to New York, I just popped up. My sister was living here in New York. I just popped up. She had her baby and a husband, and I just popped up. ‘Hey, what’s up? I got $200 and dreams. Let’s do this.’  (York Quotes) I wasn’t a dancer learning to play Baby Houseman. I was Baby Houseman learning to play a dancer. I was someone who’d never done any Latin dance. I’d taken jazz classes and ballet growing up in New York, so I had dance in me, and I knew I loved it, but I’d never done a dance audition.  (York Quotes) I started going back and forth, New York, London, New York, London. I wasn’t looking back at all. I was doing tons of jobs. Working, working, working, working.  (York Quotes) Despite some standout events, 2012 was demoralizing. The Met felt adrift, and New York City Opera couldn’t claw its way back to artistic health.  (York Quotes) I see a New York where people who are down on their luck can get back on the road to responsibility, a job and dignity.  (York Quotes)
