"It takes balls to pick a fight with an entire city because you see how many truly disgusting people there are and have virtually no idea what dirt bags they are. I saw it as an opportunity to let them know." - on his insulting comments in 2000 regarding foreigners who live in New York City (2013)

"The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asian and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything there. How the hell did they get in this country?" (2000)
