“When I first arrived (in New York), it seemed to me the most terrifying city in the world... all those big buildings. I remember walking on Broadway, looking up at this huge, mountainous place-and being so lonely. But things started to clear up when I met a few people on the street whom I'd met before-all of a sudden there got to be a certain familiarity about the place, and the terror kind of evaporated. There was a lot of playing going on, and the New Yorkers, of course, were a completely different crowd from what I'd known.” PeopleWorldFirstsKindDifferentBigsRememberCertainCoursesCitiesKnownClearStreetsNew YorkBuildingHugeWalkingMetsLonelyTerrorCrowdsBroadwayFamiliarityNew YorkersCities In The WorldSo Lonely Author:Benny Goodman

“I'll never forget reading Chekhov's "A Doctor's Visit" on a train to Hawthorne, New York, and I got to the end - the scene where the patient says goodbye to the doctor and she puts a flower in her hair as a kind of thank you to him - and I felt like a cowboy shot from a canyon's top. This is a different experience from reading a novel, I think. The emotional effect is cumulative.

I had a great time doing it, it was just that, in New York, there really wasn't as much.
