Kyle Kuzma

Growing up in a Canadian household that was more British than Big Ben, I dreamed of flying to England myself and visiting the places my family never tired of talking about. I always woke up before the plane landed.

Alan Bradley

The Empire State Building is the closest thing to heaven in this city.

Deborah Kerr

New York is nearly a grave. The Empire State Building is its gravestone.

From the ruins, lonely and inexplicable as the sphinx, rose the Empire State Building.

If Spider-Man had to appear on the 90th floor of the Empire State Building, the crew would take the elevator up, open the window and say: 'OK, Nicholas, out you go!' There were no tricks or computer effects.
