What makes a New Yorker? Ed Koch once said that "to be a New Yorker you have to live here for six months, and if at the end of the six months you find you walk faster, talk faster, think faster, you're a New Yorker." R. L. Stine said that "a real New Yorker likes the sound of a garbage truck in the morning." And David Bowie hinted that time was a factor, once saying, "I realized the other day that I've lived in New York longer than I've lived anywhere else. It's amazing: I am a New Yorker. It's strange; I never thought I would be."
