“My father told me we was all born of blood and tribulation, and so then too was our great city. But for those of us what lived and died in them furious days, it was like everything we knew was mightily swept away. And no matter what they did to build this city up again... for the rest of time... it would be like no one ever knew we was even here.”
Leonardo DiCaprio - Amsterdam Vallon

“One can live a simple life in Hollywood, despite reports to the contrary. You can be out in the open. You can ride horseback and even go swimming in the winter. New York has its decided advantages - plays, operas, art exhibits, auctions - and I would not want to stay away from it too long. But frankly, I would rather work in Hollywood.”
Rodolfo Valentino

“New York is a wonderful town. Everybody dreams about going there, but we're luckier than lots of families because we're really going. Wait till you see the nice new home we're going to have, and the loads and loads of new friends we're going to make.”

Judy Garland - Esther Smith

“The place: New York City. The time: Now, 1962. And there's no time or place like it. If you've got a dream, this is the place to make that dream come true. That's why the soaring population of hopeful dreamers has just reached eight million people. Oh! Make that eight million and one.”
Rick Scarry - Narrator

"Cats" is the second-worst thing that ever happened to New York City.
Ben Affleck - Ollie Trinke
