I spent my whole life as a writer talking to just the average guy in Los Angeles and Latin America, talking to working people.

I do love America. And LA is a very short commute to America its like half an hour on the plane.

When I'm Los Angeles, it's work. That's what I'm there for is work.

I grew up in a modest neighborhood just outside of Los Angeles. It was an industrial community of blue-collar, working people... some of the hardest-working people I've ever met.

I like Los Angeles. So many artistic people, and I just love the weather.

To those people whose main goal or mission it is to come to Los Angeles and engage in criminal activity, to engage in decadent behavior, our message is to them: It is not going to be tolerated.
