Twenty years ago I wanted to move to a nice place so our Charley would grow up a nice boy and learn a profession. But instead we live in a jungle, so he can only be a wild animal. D'you think I picked the East Side like Columbus picked America? ↗

I was an only child, and Mother was always right with me all my life. I used to get very angry at her when I was growing up-it's a natural thing. ↗

Since the beginning, it was just the same. The only difference, the crowds are bigger now. ↗
