“I have this table in my new house. They put this table in without asking. It was some weird nouveau riche marble table, and I hated it. But it was literally so heavy that it took a crane to move it. We would try to set up different things around it, but it never really worked. I realized that table was my ego. No matter what you put around it, under it, no matter who photographed it, the douchebaggery would always come through.” TryingDifferentMatterMovingHouseEgoAskingNo Matter WhatTablesHeavyI RealizedHatedDifferent ThingsMarbleCranesNouveau Riche Author:Kanye West

“Everybody has a home team: It's the people you call when you get a flat tire or when something terrible happens. It's the people who, near or far, know everything that's wrong with you and love you anyways. These are the ones who tell you their secrets, who get themselves a glass of water without asking when they're at your house. These are the people who cry when you cry.

“With the films, it starts off with certain coordinates in the world and seeing what happens. What happens if you place yourself at an oil refinery in the Middle East? What happens if you place yourself in the White House Cabinet Room? What happens if you place yourself with Brad Pitt on the set of a film? And so on.

“I live in New York City. I could never live anywhere else. The events of September 11 forced me to confront the fact that no matter what, I live here and always will. One of my favorite things about New York is that you can pick up the phone and order anything and someone will deliver it to you.

How anyone gets anything done in these places is a mystery to me.” YearsMatterDoneFactsHomeOrderHouseHoursCitiesMysteryCarEventsNew YorkPicksNo Matter WhatMy FavoritePhonesStoresBuyingNew York CityWakingSeptemberSeptember 11Favorites ThingsBuying Things Author:Nora Ephron
