I Changed The City Of New York.

I Was Born At The Age Of Twelve On A Metro-goldwyn-mayer Lot.

There's A Nastiness Out There That Wants To Harm Me With Words. These Are My Enemies - The Ideologues, The Populists, The Columnists Who Don't Like The Fact That I Take Them On Toe-to-toe. What I Try To Do Is Tell The Truth. It's Not The Coin Of The Realm In Politics.

Anybody Who Suggests That I Run For Governor Is No Friend Of Mine. It's A Terrible Position, And Besides, It Requires Living In Albany, Which Is Small-town Life At Its Worst.

When I Was First Elected I Got 50% Of The Vote In '77 In The General Election. In '81 I Got 75%. In '85, I Got 78%. No Mayor Has Ever Gotten That High A Vote. So It Was Not An Issue. Except For People Who Were Very Hostile To Me. They Thought They Would Injure Me.

We Should Sell Them To Our Worst Enemies, The Russians And The Cubans.
