My favorite thing about L.A. is the sunny breezes that mimic the mindset of the energy in the people.

L.A. is very special to me, so far away from my world on the East Coast, Europe, Asia. It's a bit of an island for me - less intense, less busy; because of time difference and location, it has a calming effect. At least it used to be all that.

If I'm in L.A. for longer than 20 days, I'm looking for work, because I don't do vacations.

L.A. is only where you live, because otherwise it's just a sprawling mass of everything, and I think if you live in L.A., you get a little network of places you go, and people you see, and when you leave town, you do miss those places and your friends.

The L.A. weather is a lot like Taiwan's, where you don't observe four seasons, so the years can pass and you don't feel a thing.

L.A. is brilliant, but however long my trip is I'm always ready to leave. But New York I'm never quite happy to see the back of.

L.A. is my office. I come here for work and work only.

For a foreigner, L.A. is such a big, wonderful and weird place that, until you find your niche, you feel a little bit discombobulated.

I love L.A. for the beach and stuff, that's the reason I live here.

I am a Chicagoan. I feel like I've simply been on vacation for 10 years in Los Angeles. But Chicago is a real place, and L.A. is a motel.
