L.A., for me, is a perfect microcosm of America - because it's so profligate, and so glamorous, and so anti-intellectual, finally.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
L.A. is a place people come to for all sorts of reasons, often to reinvent themselves, and that fascinates me.
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.
L.A. is my American city.
L.A. is an intense industry town, and there's a side of it that's superficial, but I surround myself with the kind of people who don't let me get sucked into that.
In general, I don't like L.A. all that much, but it has wonderful parts.
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.
I think of L.A. as truly the melting pot. It's basically a mini-country unto itself.
I think L.A. gets a bad rap. L.A. is the same as everywhere else.
There's so much nonsense tossed around about L.A. and how horrible it is and 'don't go out there' and all that stuff. So I went out to L.A. and I was pleasantly surprised.
I like L.A., but it's just too many people in the same business everywhere you go. You lose perspective.
