Los Angeles is a microcosm of the United States. If L.A. falls, the country falls.

My mother passed when I was in the third grade, my father when I was in the seventh, and that's when I was shipped to Los Angeles to live with an aunt.

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

New York is like the weirdest city in the United States, in a great way, and Los Angeles is probably more similar to most of America.

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

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