I grew up an only child, running wild on the streets of midtown in the 70's, unchecked, in a way you couldn't today. I saw so much talent come to nothing and eventually I came to think that New York does one of two things - it either gives you everything or it tells you to go fuck yourself. New York let me live, but just barely. I think of it as a sucking vortex that feeds on the hopes and dreams of the people who live there.
