If Shanghai wants to be an international cultural center, they have to do something about that. The reason I left is that I wanted to explore what ballet is all about, and if I had stayed put, that wouldn't have happened.
I like New York. There are similarities with London that make it feel rather like home, but at the same time it's slightly fictional.
Nagasaki is not just an international city with a long and fascinating history. It is a global inspiration for all those who seek to create a safer and more secure world.
Don't get me wrong - I love London, and still have an apartment there.
Notting Hill is a very different carnival from anywhere else. This is an international city, so it represents everybody. You walk around every corner here, you'll hear something new. It's awesome.
Singapore is an international city, and it would be a grave mistake to close our doors.
I really enjoyed performing there. Dubai is a very rocking place.
London is one of my favourite places to come to overseas.
I love New York, it's always been my home. It has everything - music, fashion, entertainment, impressive buildings, huge parks, street cafes. And it's very international, with people from all over the world.
I call New York just a bigger version of Toronto.
Once I moved to London I thought it was unbeatable. I work a lot in L.A. and love it, but would never give up London. It's a true world city, with an energy that's unique.
Dubai's a pretty powerful place.
I grew up abroad, and when I first passed through London in the 1970s, it seemed a drab and provincial place.
Houston is a dynamic, international city shaped by leaders who dreamed big and acted with an eye firmly focused on the long term.
London is a very energising place to be.
For me, 'Shanghai' is beyond language. For me, it's good cinema. The language is incidental.
London is the greatest city in the world.
I feel very comfortable in New York, in a city where there is no such thing as 'nationality.'
One of the things that's great about New York is that it is not a one-industry town. It has education, academia, the service industry, arts, publishing, theater, politics, fashion, finance, as well as movie-making.
I'm going to show you the real New York - witty, smart, and international - like any metropolis. Tell me this: where in Europe can you find old Hungary, old Russia, old France, old Italy? In Europe you're trying to copy America, you're almost American. But here you'll find Europeans who immigrated a hundred years ago - and we haven't spoiled them. Oh, Gio! You must see why I love New York. Because the whole world's in New York.
Tangier is one of the few places left in the world where, so long as you don't proceed to robbery, violence, or some form of crude, antisocial behavior, you can do exactly what you want.
San Francisco is a lot like Amsterdam - free, open-minded and casual - though I expected better weather.
Because I'm such a die-hard New Yorker, I was skeptical of Montreal being a New York double.
Mumbai is like Manhattan. There's a certain pace, a social life and the thrill of a professional life.
I travel continuously, and I see many cities, but there is nowhere like London.
