| "I had never been to New York before and my sister had been once and she just raved about it -- she loved it. I guess it's one of those cities where people say it's the center of the earth. I've only heard the most incredible things about it, even from people here in California. So when I came to America, I just had to go to New York. Soon after I got to California, I jumped on a plane to New York and it was just straight into it -- the socializing, everyone's so happy to be out and there's such a good energy running through the whole city."
