Piper Perabo New York Quotations

One of the great thing about New York is the neighborhood - you go for your walk in the morning and you know your dry cleaning lady, you know the guy in your coffee shop - that's your neighborhood and I love that.

I had just done what she does in the story just about a year earlier - I moved from New Jersey and came to New York and was working at a bar, and you know, trying to make it.

I really like the idea of restaurant life, especially in New York where everyone has small apartments - that restaurant culture where you sit at a table for a long time and the afternoon goes by and you're kind of living there. I like that more than nightlife.

And so when I graduated I moved to New York, and I was waitressing here and auditioning - and I got my first job pretty soon after.

I've never been one for sitting on beaches. Let me tell you who I am: I'm a girl from New Jersey who moved to New York and worked in a bar while trying to make a living at what I really wanted to do, which was act.

What I'd really like to do is do a film or two a year and then do theater in New York the rest of the year.

I think that's why I like New York City because you can just put on your backpack and just explore; you never know where you are going to end up.
