see a psychiatrist."

of living in Albany, during his failed 1982 race for governor.
—"Whether I am straight or gay or bisexual is nobody's business but mine."
—"It's not soaring, beautiful, handsome, like the George Washington or the Verrazano. It's rugged,
it's hard working — and that's me." On the 59th Street Bridge being renamed for him in 2011.
—"I don't want to leave Manhattan, even when I'm gone. This is my home. The thought of having
