- Time changes things and when I bought my two-bedroom apartment I was fine with the smaller spaces, now I want big and open and modern. I would tear down walls in my apartment and make everything open and modern and bright. --Roberta, Upper East Side
- In my off-Broadway one-woman show (The Judy Show) I told the audience all about what I want to change about my apartment: I want another bathroom! I have two sons and one bathroom—not a good combination. Plus, I'm 6'3” and I don't fit in my bathtub and even if I did, I couldn't relax in it. --Judy Gold, Upper West Side
- I want a new neighbor downstairs. I have one now who complains non-stop when my kids run around the way normal kids do. --Miriam, Harlem
- I would like proper windows in my bedroom. Every winter I have to cover my bedroom windows floor-to-ceiling with heavy plastic (which billow like sails from the wind blowing in the cracks). If I don't do that, the temperature drops too low to use the room at all—lowest recorded temperature in my room was 48 degrees. I have to sleep with lots of covers and sometimes even a hat. --Barbara, Upper West Side
- I want those great windows that open up and tilt so that I can finally wash my windows! --Sharon, Upper West Side
- I wish my apartment were bigger. When I was first looking at it, I told that to the landlord. His response was priceless: ”When it's painted it will be bigger.” He was wrong. --Patti, Chelsea
- I want higher ceilings. I love ceiling fans and would like to have some in my apartment without having to worry about decapitating friends and relatives who visit. --Elysa, Upper East Side
