It was a department where you had honesty and integrity stamped right on you when you came into the Los Angeles Police Department. If you violated that, or if you were a dishonest cop, you were terrible. We got rid of you as quickly as possible.
Daryl Gates

It was like there's got to be some way to stay working and stay productive in Los Angeles. TV is that kind of thing for an actor. Unless you get stuck in one of these shows where you have to go to Vancouver.
Ethan Suplee

It was not possible to film in California, because all the areas are heavily built up now. Coming to Cape Town is an invitation to step into the past and recreate Los Angeles of the 1930s.
Robert Towne

Los Angeles and New York are the big centers of the music industry worldwide so of course it can be hard for newcomers who don't know what to expect from the music business.
Ville Valo

Los Angeles gives one the feeling of the future more strongly than any city I know of. A bad future, too, like something out of Fritz Lang's feeble imagination.
Henry Miller

Los Angeles has always been on the table with us.
Michael Ritchie

Los Angeles has the greatest concentration of surviving movie palaces in the United States, yet most residents have never been inside one of them.
Leonard Maltin

Los Angeles is a microcosm of the United States. If L.A. falls, the country falls.
Ice T

Los Angeles is an industry town, and it has great facilities and personnel. The disadvantage is that everyone there seems to talk about the same subject matter.
Carter Burwell

Los Angeles is just a more open place. The way L.A. functions is that people give you a forum. They say, Show us what you can do.
Esa-Pekka Salonen

Los Angeles was an impression of failure, of disappointment, of despair, and of oddly makeshift lives. This is California? I thought.
Joseph Barbera

Los Angeles, I don't like that town. Too decadent, and it's slimy.
Layne Staley

Missing Persons was based in Los Angeles.
Warren Cuccurullo

My current project is my band, Population 1. We are writing, rehearsing and playing in Los Angeles.
Nuno Bettencourt

My father is an actor, so he brought me into his agency when I was young. It wasn't something I wanted to do until high school, when I started taking theater and really liked it. Then an agent found me and wanted me to come out to Los Angeles and give it a shot. I gave myself six months, but it only took me like a week to get a job.
Jensen Ackles

My wife and I are affiliated with a temple here in Los Angeles. We feel very close to the congregation and to the rabbi, who happens to be my wife's cousin and who I admire greatly. I talk to him regularly but I consider myself more spiritual than religious.
Leonard Nimoy

No, I did night clubs right here in Los Angeles. My partner, Phil Erickson, put me in the business, a guy from my home town, a dear friend who we just lost a couple of months ago.
Dick Van Dyke

Oh, well, in Los Angeles everybody is an actor, or a producer, or a writer, or a director, or an agent, or... So everybody understands the hours.
Julie Benz

People here in Los Angeles are disgusted now about a sex scandal involving Arnold Schwarzenegger. Apparently for seven years, he carried on a sexual relationship with his own wife.
Craig Kilborn

Pick your enemies carefully or you'll never make it in Los Angeles.
