The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.
Gaby HoffmannI'm somebody who's super into psychology and analysis and the human psyche and the human experience. Other than just the purely enjoyable aspect of being on a nice, natural drug, I think doing such drug can be a very positive force in constantly forcing you to see yourself in a new way, and see and hear others in a new way.

Gaby HoffmannI'm not one of those New Yorkers who so much identifies themselves with the city that they can't imagine living anywhere else.

I'm really glad I grew up there.
