1. How long have you been living in New York? I’ve been living in New York all my life, which is a great place to live!

2. Where do you live? I live in Manhattan, but I sleep in the Bronx. So in other words, I don’t live in the Bronx at all, I just sleep there, but Manhattan is my life!

3. Which is your favorite neighborhood? Columbus Avenue. I grew up on Columbus Avenue and I have some very beautiful memories there.

4. What do you think is the most over-rated thing in the City? And under-rated? The MTA. The trains, buses, they’re over-rated, period! The most under-rated things are the people. There are some beautiful people that I know who have never received the respect and recognition they deserve. I consider them the most under-rated thing in this city.

5. What do you miss the most when you are out of town? The big city that never sleeps, I love that! When I’m out of town, I just can’t wait to get back to New York. I love this town. In fact, I am New York!

6. If you could change one thing about this city, what would that be? The mayor! In fact, I should be the mayor, and run New York my way.

7. Describe the perfect weekend in New York. Watching a movie and of course, shopping, downtown! I love to shop! Clothes, shoes, I love it all!

8. What is the most memorable experience you’ve had in New York City? I have two of them. As a child, my father would take my brother and me to Coney Island or the Central Park Zoo. And the other is Easter Sunday, as a kid, because we’d get all dressed up. We’d go to church and then go to the movies, and see a cartoon or something! It’s one of the most beautiful times I can remember as a kid.

9. If you could live anywhere else, where would that be? Westchester County, New York. And California… Hollywood!

10. Do you think of yourself as a New Yorker, and if so, why? Yes, I am a true New Yorker. Why? Because I have style, grace, and I’m charming!
