City Quotes

Several of these quotes settle on New York specifically - raising children there, chasing a ballet career through its top companies, or building a life around it after moving from elsewhere. Others reflect on falling in love with a campus city the way you'd love Paris. See Cities Quotes for more.

The last copy of the Chicago Daily News I picked up had three crime stories on its front page. But by comparison to the gaudy days, this is small-time stuff. Chicago is as full of crooks as a saw with teeth, but the era when they ruled the city is gone forever.

A disk unbeknownst to the director can go to the producer in another city or in another office and that producer can edit behind the director's back much easier than in the old days. Since these dailies are now put on videotape, more kinds of people have access to dailies.
