New York used to be so much more than just a place to shop. It was life on the street for the eccentrics; it was an eccentric city. It had many different tastes. Now it's just one - a really rich one - with big tall glass buildings.
From what I've heard about Israel and its sites, landscape, beaches and historical and religious heritage, it is a wonderful place to visit. I told my friends that I'm going to Israel because I'm a New Yorker, and a New Yorker goes to Israel.
Sex and the City changed New York-New York's become a big shoe store now, unfortunately.
It's over. The franchise is dead. The press killed it. Your magazine f**king killed it. New York Magazine. It's like all the critics got together and said, 'This franchise must die.' Because they all had the exact same review. It's like they didn't see the movie. Got any more gum?
At least Manhattan, in terms of danger and eccentricity, is much more of a theme park now. You couldn't really shoot the old Law & Order in New York today. It's a different city.
You look around New York, and we are surrounded by restaurants and food trucks, and we celebrate food in this city like no tomorrow.
I never talk about my private life. When you're in this business it becomes so precious. I don't understand when people open up about themselves to the press.
Dick Wolf made me an offer I couldn't refuse,
I don't do a hell of a lot of publicity. I find it nauseous. I feel like a blithering idiot and your friends are laughing at you.
Since women ask me about male motives all the time, I can offer a bit of advice. If you feel like you're going to get hurt then you shouldn't be there in the first place. That's the way I look at relationships.
Mr. Big has been sticking to me, and that makes me uncomfortable. I know it's meant well when people stop me in the street and say, 'Hey, Mr. Big!' But I don't ever want to be identified by any part I've played once it's over.
It's not that I'm asking for that, and I don't know how to explain it. I just think there's room for the disenfranchised. I don't think we have to sweep it under the rug.
It's terrible. We're starting to look like Hong Kong, or Singapore at worst. Pretty soon you won't be able to throw a piece of gum on the street.
Although Sex And The City was a great show and I loved that for what it was, the response to it became so much more than the show, ... That became, in a sense, annoying. So it was great to go back to something I knew, but I could explore more, recreate, bring more nuance.
