I think small business is struggling in New York City. It's a fantastic market, it's a very appealing market, there's lots of opportunity, at the same time it's a very difficult place to build a small business.

I am very much a Red Sox fan; I can name you more players than you could possibly imagine. It's just part of who I am.

NY is the city it is today in part because of the contributions from generations of artistic visionaries

I love the MLB app, because I'm a pretty obsessed baseball fan.

I haven't smoked marijuana since I was at NYU.

Going back to high school and college, I believed I would be involved in public service. I literally could not conceptualize anything else.

I didnt set out with the notion of running for elective office; it sort of grew over time. And I honestly at times questioned if progressive change can be effected through elected office.
