“I live in New York City, where, if you're in a movie at a popular independent theater, you think you're king of the world, because you're in a bubble.

What I'm saying is that you can't forget the reality. Sometimes people take success and forget about reality.” PeopleIfsMenWantSometimesRealityBeautifulHouseRealizingForgetNew YorkRight NowMovedInstanceHillsHotelMiamiBeverly Hills Author:DJ Khaled
“Carolyn Maloney identifies with the possibility of being raped, that's why she hung in there for the Debbie Smith Bill. So it - it's essential that in New York, if we can't get a prominent woman in New York, where can we? I mean there's so many states that have never even had a woman senator.
