California is always in my mind.

The apparent ease of California life is an illusion, and those who believe the illusion real live here in only the most temporary way.

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.

California is an unbelievable state.

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.

For me, California is all about rest, relaxation, space.

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 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.

Science always has its origin in the adaptation of thought to some definite field of experience.

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.
