Citizens are the energy of Seoul.
Visits to crowded Indian urban centers unleash sensory assaults: colorful dress and lilting chatter provide a backdrop to every manner of commerce, from small shops to peddlers to beggars.
That moment - to this ... may be years in the way they measure, but it's only one sentence back in my mind - there are so many days when living stops and pulls up and sits and waits like a train on the rails. I pass the hotel at 8 and at 5; there are cats in the alleys and bottles and bums, and I look up at the window and think, I no longer know where you are, and I walk on and wonder where the living goes when it stops.
I like New York.
I went to high school in New York City. So, I grew up in New Jersey my whole life, and I was watching all the people and all the kids that I met there become so jaded.
In the city, you're always looking around, observing everything. In some neighborhoods, your life can depend on it. The details change constantly.
Everyone's like, 'Oh, you must live in L.A., the glamorous life,' and I really don't. I'm in a small house, in Pittsburgh, in the snow.
I love New York, I love the smell of New York... I love the subway.
I like living in Berkeley, but I know Berkeley's not the world.
Chicago was a good place for me. Maybe New York will be better.
I'll just walk around New York and watch people on the streets.
New York's like a boxing match. In Hollywood, it's like a Fellini movie or something.
I'm in New York a lot. And every time I'm in New York, I'm out every night - it's a bit much. After a week, I'm ready to go home.
I go to Paris, I go to London, I go to Rome, and I always say, 'There's no place like New York. It's the most exciting city in the world now. That's the way it is. That's it.'
Los Angeles can be a really sad city.
I am a village boy, and Amsterdam for me was always the big town.
Cities are the crucible of civilization.
When I lived in L.A. full time, I moved often - fourteen different neighbourhoods in sixteen years.
We've been to New York twice, and I quite like it a lot.
When I was a teenager, you wanted to go to the movies. Go and see 'Mean Streets,' go and see 'The Conversation,' go and see 'Taxi Driver.'
Anyday, one can walk down the street in a big city and see a thousand people. Any photographer can photograph these people - but very few photographers can make their prints not only reproductions of the people taken, but a comment upon them - or more, a comment upon their lives - or more still, a comment upon the social order that creates these lives.
Even in New York, there are a lot of very attractive girls pedaling around. That just happens to be one of the nice sights in our city, seeing a young woman on a bike.
The first years when I came to New York, everything was too big and too much. For me, it was too difficult here, but bit by bit, it became one of my favorite places.
There's a hustling, but also a self-centred vibe you can get from people in Delhi.
In 1960, it was still - no nostalgia here - an age when you could leave your door unlocked even in urban neighborhoods.
