I moved to New York because I knew I’d have fun there and it’s New York City. The city made me who I am. It’s rough, you have to be lonely with your thoughts and strangers and sing in bars where no one is paying attention. But once you do that nothing phases you. And then those strangers become your best friends. It brings out the brave in you.
