“Spelling is very easy to practice yourself whereas signing is not. So I would sit on the subway riding around New York and I would spell whatever I would see. When I watched a movie I would spell words as they came up.”

“I know deaf people. I have discussed the issues with them I've also thought about them a lot so I have some insights that go a little further than people who haven't had contact with the deaf community.”

“For example, the first time McDonald's put a deaf person in a commercial they saw a jump in sales. I think that happens with other kinds of disabilities and products and that is something that is being realized more and more.”

“I like to go out to different restaurants in New York. I'm a restaurant junkie.”

“New York City is my favorite city in the world.”

“Everybody in New York is looking for something. Once in a while, somebody finds it.”
