There's a lot of potential that goes unused in places like South Central L.A., a lot of brilliant, smart people who just don't have that chance to show it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've learned it's not about being famous and big money. L.A. can be a fun place, but when it comes down to it - and this might sound hokey - there's no place like home.
I just find that you can become a very boring person living in L.A. I tell you, living there on a day-to-day basis is vacuous: terribly fake.
There are a lot of very flamboyant and outlandish people and attention-seekers in L.A., and I think that's what makes L.A. appealing. A lot of people are attracted to come here to do things and make things happen and the city seems to attract larger-than-life characters.
I'm attracted to creative people and train wrecks, and there's no shortage of that in Los Angeles.
The wonderful thing about being an artist in L.A. is that there is no taste. There's anarchy of taste, which seems good to me.
There are plenty of smart people who get nowhere.
There's a lot of talent in South Central L.A., in Compton and Long Beach and Watts, and the city north of Pico pretty much sits back and waits for that talent to emerge and then steps in.
It's a very enticing, very seductive place, but once you get to know what L.A.'s really like, you don't want to live there.
I rarely have out-of-town visitors because you have to do things like take them around L.A.
There isn't really a theatre culture in L.A., which is odd when there are so many brilliant actors there.
