"I’m trying to change the culture in New York City; that’s hard enough!" ― Michael Bloomberg Topic(s): Change More From Michael Bloomberg "When I came into office, people said, ‘Billionaire? How do they live? What do they eat? How do they sleep?’ Today, they see me on the subway coming uptown. A couple of people say hi, some people smile and nod. Some people just sleep. It’s not an issue." "Ironically, it is exactly because we are a city that embraces freedom, that welcomes everyone and encourages their dreams, that New York remains on the front lines in the war on terror." "No place epitomizes the American experience and the American spirit more than New York City."
