East is East, and West is San Francisco, according to Californians. Californians are a race of people; they are not merely inhabitants of a State.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I resist and resent the idea of California as a metaphor. It's something thrust upon us, usually by people in the East.
California lacks a lot of the rules and restrictions the East has. Every house is a different style, different material, different color. There's a lot of craziness out there.
In California, there is a strong tension between north and south.
I'm from Oakland and San Francisco, so I feel like the Pacific Northwest starts there and goes north - so, it's home to me.
California is lucky, the East Coast is lucky because we get great seafood and a lot of produce from Florida, locally in good weather, but in the winter we have to buy it.
My mom was born in San Diego, around Vista. So we've always been California people.
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.
For some reason and I don't know why, but I don't think that I'm funny in California. So I always want to do my movies east somewhere.
I'm so much more of an East Coast girl than a West Coast girl.
I was born in Orange County - in Santa Ana. My dad is from California. I was raised on the East Coast. My first two years were in California, but I claim East Coast. I'm sorry, I don't rep California.
