In early 1983, Gary Goetzman and I went to see my favorite band, the Talking Heads, at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The show was like seeing a movie just waiting to be filmed.

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

It's [Los Angeles] mostly full of nonsense and delusion and egomania. They think they'll be young and beautiful forever, even though most of them aren't even young and beautiful now.

Los Angeles, I don't like that town. Too decadent, and it's slimy.

I've lived in Los Angeles for at least 24 years.

I'll be going to the granddaddy of the Los Angeles theaters.
