What’s scarier, the bird flu or subway bombers? A nightlife survey.
Peter Bogdanovich: “I’m more worried about the avian flu. I avoid the subway since I started doing The Sopranos.”
Amber Tamblyn: “I guess I’d go with bird flu.”
Lydia Hearst: “I don’t usually ride on the subways unless I can’t catch a taxi. I do take my vitamins.”
Cynthia Rowley: “What if a bird gets on the subway? Then you’re doomed.”
Sara Ramirez: “Any bird comes flying by my face, I can swat it away. But if I’m down in the subways, I’m kind of screwed.”
Chloë Sevigny: “Doesn’t avian flu affect old people more? I’m young and healthy. I have a strong constitution. My mother breast-fed me for years.”
Damon Dash: “I wasn’t even thinking about them, but now I’m scared. Of both.”
Mayor Bloomberg (at Iman’s book party): “I take the subway every day. I feel comfortable on the streets like most people do. Avian flu has real potential for a disaster—at the moment, there’s no vaccine.” (Bloomberg aide: “They asked him that? At a party? Unbelievable!”)
