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.

I live in New York, where people don't tend to go up to actors as much.

It's too hard a life for me. I could only do it - check out in that sense - if I checked out somewhere that was luxurious and within hailing distance of civilization.

The Postal Service is a vitally important institution for the American people. It must be saved.

One of the benefits to ordering food in New York is that you can get food 24/7.

The Postal Service's unmatched ability to reach every household and business in America six days a week is a vital part of the nation's infrastructure.

The ghastly thing about postal strikes is that after they are over, the service returns to normal.

I am just a normal human being - I am alive! Why is anyone surprised that I am human? Like many New Yorkers, I have a multifaceted life.

The Postal Service is huge - employing more than a half million people - and its history is long and complicated.

You can get stuff done in New York that you can't in Los Angeles. If you wanted to get some milk and get your shoes repaired and drop something off at the dry cleaner, that's an all-day adventure in Los Angeles. In New York, you can bang that out in half an hour.

I like being in my New York bubble. It's the best bubble!

In life, usually, even if you live in a big city, you can count on your fingers on one hand how many real friends you have; that's human.

The Postal Service exists to serve every American, regardless of where you live or what you believe.
