"New York picked me up, grabbed me and molded me, put me through the university of life. By the time I got to L.A., I needed a serious detox and cleanse. It was so fast, so wild, working in the music business. I was representing Deee-lite and Eartha Kitt and I was dating a rock star, out all night. I was burnt out by the time I moved to L.A. But nobody said what they meant there, and I thought, ‘What’s going on here?’ I would come back to New York for work and realize I was still a New Yorker."
