>When I was 27, which is how old I was when my first book came out, New Yorkers didn’t think, “Can we afford to do this?” We lived really, really badly. I don’t want to give you the impression I was some kind of communist, because I wasn’t, but I just didn’t think about the kind of things that people think they now need. Lots of times kids will ask me what restaurants I ate at when I was younger. I don’t even remember eating. Eating in restaurants was something that old people did. The idea that today’s kids are so interested in food and restaurants, well, I find that kind of funny. When we were younger, all we thought about was sex. I can absolutely promise you that I don’t remember any conversations about food when I was young. If you talk about that when you’re 20, what are you going to talk about when you’re 40 or 50? This is not the time to be thinking about restaurants. I lived in a horrible apartment with no kitchen and no ceiling in the bathroom, but it didn’t matter because I never stayed in my apartment. We lived our lives in public places. We hung around in bars. When Mayor Bloomberg first made this smoking law, for instance, I saw him somewhere and I said to him, Do you understand what sitting around in bars, talking and drinking and smoking, is called? It’s called the history of art.” – F.L.
