Downtown Quotes - Page 5

• I was leaving the Belfast court, where I had been called to answer a very flimsy charge, later dismissed. You're relatively safe in such areas in the Irish community, but to go to downtown Belfast for me is dangerous. My appearance in court had been well advertised by the police. I think it was too much of a coincidence that the people who shot me were just passing by.

• I remember going to Shibe Park, Connie Mack, when I was a kid with my dad and my mom. I felt more neighborhood-esque. And I like the idea, and I love the new downtown ballparks. I love when the venue is situated in a vibrant part of the urban setting.

• Many people in Harlem never go out of Harlem. I mean they'd never even been downtown. And you can see how this bitterness can accumulate. Here you see people crowded and hovered up in ghettos and slums with no hope.They see no way out.

• Ambos lugares, el centro de El Cairo y la plaza Tahrir, están en el corazón del centro de El Cairo. Son lugares donde los jóvenes se reúnen para intercambiar ideas políticas y culturales. Es posible que ese sea uno de los motivos por los que persiguieron a estas instituciones, aunque el gobierno no ha hecho ningún comentario público sobre los motivos de estas redadas.

• DJ Spooky was meant to be a kind of ironic take on that. It was always meant to be kind of a criticism and critique of how downtown culture would separate genres and styles because it was ambiguous.

• No sé por qué la gente siempre me compara [ con Amiri Baraka] Nunca formé parte del Black Arts Repertory Theater ni del Black Arts Movement; la gente que afirma que sí, se equivoca. Yo estaba en el centro. Vivía en Chelsea cuando ellos operaban en Harlem.

• Conocí a mucha gente guay [en La Voz], y lo que más me gustó de la experiencia fue sentarme a improvisar en el hotel. Estábamos prácticamente encerrados en el hotel, en el centro de Los Ángeles, y no había mucho que hacer. Fue interesante estar en una habitación con un rapero a mi lado, un artista country, y luego tener a alguien tocando una canción en el teclado, y fue genial como un conjunto aleatorio.

• Para mi generación -los "Hijos de Nixon", como nos llamo en el libro- la guerra civil libanesa fue un acontecimiento icónico. El centro de Beirut se convirtió en una metáfora de muchas cosas: la inhumanidad del hombre hacia el hombre, lo que Charles Bukowski llamó "la imposibilidad de ser humano". Modeló nuestra percepción de la guerra y de la naturaleza humana, igual que Vietnam hizo con nuestros padres. Nos sirvió para entender cómo funciona el mundo.

• En South Pasadena, los artistas estaban por todas partes, pero eran invisibles. Aunque estaba a sólo quince minutos en coche del centro de Los Ángeles, parecía un mundo aparte. La experiencia de los suburbios estadounidenses puede protegerte y a la vez atrofiarte. Estaba deseando mudarme a New York para convertirme en la persona que siempre había querido ser.

• When I'm in New York I love to stay at the Mercer Hotel, and the C. Wonder store was so part of my New York experience from staying downtown. What I love the most about the brand is the enthusiasm that the customer has for it.

• I created my own space, which was called the cave. It was a live/work space in downtown Los Angeles on 7th and Spring. When I lived there it was quite derelict. I got this massive space and half of it was my bedroom and the other half of it was the back room - no [natural] light, all fluorescent lights.

• A menudo digo de mi formación: "Eso y una Metrocard me llevarán al centro". Sinceramente, creo que el resultado de mi formación como actriz y escritora es que me han enseñado a ser aventurera. Hay muchos momentos en el conservatorio en los que me animaron a ir más allá de los límites y a colorear fuera de las líneas. Creo que esa sensación de valentía da sabor a lo que hago. Me permite correr riesgos que de otro modo no correría.

• Downtown New York, I'm within certain styles of music and I'm also within certain cultural, you know, and literary context. So DJ Spooky was meant to be a kind of ironic take on that. It was always meant to be kind of a criticism and critique of how downtown culture would separate genres and styles because it was ambiguous. You couldn't fit it into anything and that was the point.

• Well you wave your hand and they scatter like crows
  They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
  They're just thorns without the rose
  Be careful of them in the dark
  Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only one
  Oh baby can't you hear me now, can't you hear me now
  Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
  Every night it's just the same, you leave me lonely now

• No one expects a Broadway musical comedy to be in the vanguard of what is bohemian, raunchy, folkloric, academic or aggressively experimental. That is not its job. Its job is to synthesize musical and social traditions with high-styled vivacity, especially those that dwell on different sides of the tracks in real life. The highbrow meets the lowbrow; sweet meets hot; uptown, downtown, all around the town.

• I was doing stand up comedy when I was 11, that's how I got started; not because I wanted to do comedy, but because we were broke, living in Echo Park in Downtown Los Angeles, from 1986, I saw the Rodney King riots; my parents didn't really work. But I wanted a new backpack, that's how I got into this business - I wanted a new backpack.

• Context is everything. Dress me up and see. I'm a carnival barker, an auctioneer, a downtown performance artist, a speaker in tongues, a senator drunk on filibuster. I've got Tourette's. My mouth won't quit, though mostly I whisper or subvocalize like I'm reading aloud, my Adam's apple bobbing, jaw muscle beating like a miniature heart under my cheek, the noise suppressed, the words escaping silently, mere ghosts of themselves, husks of empty breath and tone.
