I'm not what people call in parenting circles "present."” PeopleYearsRememberSupportNew YorkCoupleOffersStandardsCirclesConventionalChefBad Friend Author:Anthony Bourdain
“I love New York. It's given me so much as a designer. When I moved here, I wanted to tap into the glamour of the city immediately. More than anywhere else, New York offers itself up - you arrive and get a rush in a flash. It's dazzling. Everywhere you look, there is decoration, from a pair of jewel-encrusted shoes in the window in Bergdorf Goodman to the Chrysler Building. And New York is incredibly democratic. Everyone is packed into this tiny space. You are confronted with all manner of people, and I love that.” PeopleLooksWantedGivenSpaceCitiesNew YorkBuildingOffersWindowMovedDemocraticShoesTinyDesignerPairsFlashJewelsGlamourDecorationDazzlingI Love New YorkGoodmanChryslerChrysler BuildingBergdorf Goodman Author:Tom Ford

“I took part in a theatre festival in Massachusetts two summers after I graduated from college. Then I was in Los Angeles thinking: "I'm going to go to New York." I'd decided that I would not have a chance of a film career, so I was about to make the move. I bought a plane ticket and found a place to live in New York, packed my bags and of course the universe "told me" that I was not meant to go.

“I've grown up watching and admiring Norm. Sherie actually starred in the first off-Broadway show I ever saw in New York, which was The Last Five Years. It's amazing how things come full-circle and how the community (once you hang around it long enough) grows smaller and smaller as it grows. Sharing the stage with these people is more than a dream come true it's so special. They're so warm and giving and offer the best advice.
