I've never been there. I wouldn't go there if someone paid me the big bucks. No way. Not in this lifetime. There is nothing there I want to see anymore, except maybe Grand Central because I love trains. But nowadays they're the wrong kind of trains anyway, not the old ones I like.

We're doing it to the whole country and we better get ahold of the back of our pants while we still have them and start to shape this place up or we're going to end up being one of those shithole countries.
