I chose 'BronxWorks' because I'm from The Bronx, and I got raised in The Bronx, and I just know the struggle and how it is growing up in The Bronx.

Hennessy Carolina

I grew up in the Bronx. The Bronx teaches you to survive. It's like, 'Bring it on!'

Wesley Snipes

Remy Ma is from the Bronx and I'm from the Bronx. The stories in her music are similar to what I've experienced.

Erica Mena

I was born in the Bronx but my parents hated living in the Bronx so they moved to Oregon when I was 6 months old.

Karl Glusman

Of course, Bronx is also useful as a kind of living personality test. If Bronx likes you, it's a [darn] good sign.

Greg Weisman

I grew up in the Bronx. I used to remember going to all these fancy stores in Manhattan to run errands or whatever, and I felt intimidated, like they did not talk to me because I was from the Bronx. I never want anyone to be intimidated by fashion. Fashion is fun or, at least, should be.

Mickey Drexler

Many places in the Bronx seem hidden in shadows, just as the Bronx itself is in Manhattan's shadow. And dark stories develop best in dark shadows.

S. J. Rozan

I was from a poor Jewish family in the South Bronx. My father was a plumber, but when I was 16, he got sick and I had to take over. Being a plumber in the South Bronx wasn't fun.

Leonard Susskind

I was born to a dad who was born in the South Bronx while the Bronx was burning, while landlords were committing arson to their own buildings.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

I particularly love where I work because I was born, raised, and still live in the Bronx. I work in a Bronx location, so it's very fulfilling to me to be working in my home borough, and working with kids that are a lot like me and who can see themselves in me. My own teaching philosophy is to expose them to books that they might not otherwise read, particularly authors of color, authors whose stories are based in New York City.

Sofia Quintero

I grew up in Manhattan. For Manhattanites, Brooklyn was the sticks, a second-rate civilization. My friends and I, we were so snobby. Living in the Bronx or Brooklyn was incredible... for me, that was like a foreign country.

William Klein

I come from a family with a really strong work ethic - not just my parents, but my aunts, uncles and cousins. It rubbed off on me. I have a cousin in The Bronx who says I'm like the longshoreman of actors. I am a worker.

Kerry Washington

I was born in the Bronx, and then my father moved us to the country at an early age.

Abel Ferrara

The value of tolerance is central to living in today's world - especially in diverse places like the Bronx.

Jose Serrano

My older brother was a musical prodigy, and he got a scholarship to the Bronx House Music School. We moved to the Bronx when I was 4 to be close to his music school. Then I got a music scholarship myself, at the age of 6, but that was for a school down in Greenwich Village. I had to take the elevated train and then the subway to get there.
