Quote

California is an unbelievable state. One day I might be in a spiritual place like Joshua Tree, then before I know it, I'm eating groovy sushi in a mini-mall. I'm a Cali girl through and through.

California is an unusual and electric kind of state - it's wonderful. All sorts of things happen there.

California is always in my mind.

I can tell you I love California - and no more.

California is a queer place in a way, it has turned its back on the world, and looks into the void Pacific. It is absolutely selfish, very empty, but not false, and at least, not full of false effort.

California is a tragic country - like Palestine, like every Promised Land.

Well, my thoughts about California are kind of mythological. To me, as well as being a real place, it's a place where people go to find something - to find happiness or to realize their dreams. So it has that kind of quality of heroism and heartache, and Australia has that, as well.

California is a place of invention, a place of courage, a place of vision, a place of the future. People who made California what it is were willing to take risks, think outside convention and build.

I resist and resent the idea of California as a metaphor. It's something thrust upon us, usually by people in the East.

California is beautiful to look at, but you can't be a part of it like you can in Michigan.
