[on adjusting to life in New York:] My apartment is the equivalent of
one room in my Toronto home. Now I understand why New Yorkers are on
the streets at all hours. People don't want to stay inside for fear

afterthought here. I don't even have to get up from the couch to change
channels. [September 29, 2003]
