London is like a cold dark dream sometimes.

I like to walk around Manhattan, catching glimpses of its wild life, the pigeons and cats and girls.

The first time I landed in New York and got a cab to my hotel, I was completely struck by it: a feeling of life and chaos, 24 hours around the clock, just like in London. And whatever your problem is, it's insignificant. You're just a small part of something very big.
