“The hardest thing about being at Sony was not the travel; it was being divorced from the public and private life I had in New York. Travelling as much as I did, while I didn't lose connection with my friends, I lost a sense of belonging.” LostLosesNew YorkMy FriendsConnectionsHardestBelongingHardest ThingDivorcedPrivate LifeSony Author:Howard Stringer
“When I was 11, I moved to the United States with my two brothers and my mom. We moved to northern New York, up near the Canadian border, from Argentina, and there was nobody there that spoke Spanish, and because there was no internet at the time, not even cable TV yet, I lost the connection with my childhood friends and the culture I had been brought up with for my first decade completely.” FirstsTwoStatesCultureLostUnitedUnited StatesChildhoodNew YorkBrotherTvsMomInternetConnectionsMovedMy MomDecadesBordersSpokesCablesArgentinaTwo BrothersCable TvChildhood Friend Author:Viggo Mortensen

“The last publicized center of American writing was Manhattan. Its writers became known as the New York Intellectuals. With important connections to publishing, and universities, with access to the major book reviews, they were able to pose as the vanguard of American culture when they were so obsessed with the two Joes--McCarthy and Stalin--that they were to produce only two artists, Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, who left town.” WritingArtTwoImportantBookAbleLastsArtistCultureLiteraturePoliticsLeftKnownNew YorkProduceMajorsConnectionsTownsUniversityAccessObsessedReviewsPublishingAmerican CultureManhattanPhilipVanguardBook ReviewJoe Mccarthy Book:God made Alaska for the Indians: selected essays Source: God made Alaska for the Indians: selected essays

“I think in the old days, the nexus of weirdness ran through Southern California, and to a degree New York City. I think it's changed so that every bizarre story in the country now has a Florida connection.

“All I know about 1970s New York City is that it's where I grew up, and you always have an umbilical connection to the time and place of your growing up. It was cheap, didn't have too many people in it, you could go to the movies or whatever on the spur of the moment, you could get by without working too much and especially without involving yourself in the corporate world.” PeopleKnowsWorldMomentsCitiesGrowing UpToo MuchGrowingNew YorkGrewGrew UpConnectionsCorporateNew York CityInvolvingSpursCorporate WorldToo Much WorkSpur Of The Moment Author:Luc Sante
“It's nice to be able to be whoever you want to be. I moved to New York for that reason.
