I think if you're in this business, like any high-stakes business, the highs and lows can make you a manic-depressive person, if you weren't that way to start with. 'Cause it's just so crazy on your psyche. A lot of it has to do with people thinking they're greater than someone else.

There has never been anything like it in show business, and the New York City police were very happy it didn't - and wouldn't - happen again.
