(SOUNDBITE) (English) SAM RETTIG, A PILLOW FIGHTER, SAYING
"It's just letting your aggressions out in a safe way. You can just hit someone and it's a pillow, it's not like you're hitting with your fist. It's just plain old fun, it's something that you do when you're a kid. I'm going to be graduating from high school this year and I'm in New York City having a pillow fight. It's something that I never thought I'd be doing, and I'm doing it."

(SOUNDBITE) (English) MONICA SCHORM, A PILLOW FIGHTER AND A STUDENT AT NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, SAYING: "I think New York is such a career driven kind of sophisticated city that it's so nice to have the opportunity to act like a kid again. And it's a good way to come back down to the imagination that first drew you to the city."

(SOUNDBITE) (English) STEVE DELITTA, A PILLOW FIGHTER, SAYING:
"I haven't had a pillow fight in years and this is great -- it's bringing back childhood memories. Nobody is getting hurt either, I've been fighting for fifteen minutes now, and I don't have a bruise, I haven't fallen yet. It's great. It's a great idea."

(SOUNDBITE) (English) SARAH KAVITSKI, A PILLOW FIGHTER, SAYING:
"It's a nice way, it almost seems like feathers coming out everywhere, Spring's beginning."
REPORTER ASKING, "And also taking out aggression?"
KAVITSKI ANSWERING, "Yeah, it's a good way of getting out aggression, definitely. Hit a bunch of people you don't know with pillows."
