Quotes
| * [on adjusting to life in New York:] "My apartment is the equivalent of one room in my Toronto home. Now I understand why New Yorkers are on the streets at all hours. People don't want to stay inside for fear they'll go crazy. I've also found television remotes to be an afterthought here. I don't even have to get up from the couch to change channels."
