If you’re on a freeway and want to know if you’re being followed, what you do is enormously vary your speed. You accelerate to 100 and slow down to 30 and then accelerate again. In a city, you make a lot of turns against the stream of traffic. You go around a roundabout twice. – Salman Rushdie
It’s the texture of New York that people miss by filming elsewhere. There are layers and layers of character – even in the pavement – that you can’t get anywhere else. And the speed that the people move. It’s so different from other places. – Richard Benjamin

We invented the car, and it made it easier for us to crash and die. If I gave a car to my grandfather, he would die in five minutes, while I have grown up slowly to accept speed. – Umberto Eco
