I'd rather do theater and British films than move to LA in hopes of getting small roles in American films.
Kate Winslet

I'll go do films for three or four months and then I can't wait to go home to LA. And I complain about LA left and right, but then I always end up wanting to go home, you know?
Tobey Maguire

I'm always struck by the kids who turn up in New York and LA, and places in between. Chicago. Wanting to do theater, wanting to do independent film. Wanting to break into television or radio.
Frank Rich

I'm doing a play, a musical. The musical follows the Mamma Mia concept. It's my first LA theater project.
Tatyana Ali

I'm from California, and still live in LA.
Teena Marie

I've been in LA for 5 years now, and it's been very freeing creatively.
Deana Carter

I've lived in LA for so long, I don't even know what is real and what isn't any more.
Dane Cook

I've talked with John Cale for two decades about what to do about La Monte, and how to get copies of our work.
Tony Conrad

If Britney would paint her ass green, I'm sure you could spot green asses all over LA as soon as the word was out.
Billie Joe Armstrong

In French literature, you can choose a la carte; in Spanish literature, there is only the set meal.
Jose Bergamin

In January '77 I went out to LA and have been here 26 years.
Ted Shackelford

In LA I was watching At the Movies with Ebert and Roper, it was, nice to see them differentiate between the subject matter and the art form of making the film, and they both gave it thumbs up, and I was kind of pleased at their honesty as far as reviewers go.
Michael Berryman

In LA, I mean, here's this place full of desperate and sad people who take their only pleasure from destroying others for the purposes of their own self-aggrandizement.
Heather Donahue

In LA, too many people want to go the quickest route from A to B. Method acting offers them that.
Corin Nemec

It is wonderful to see how happy all my friends in the LA Philharmonic are in their new home.
Emanuel Ax

It's changing a bit, but the thing in LA is everyone is either in the industry, or knows someone who is in the industry. So, they don't let on that they recognize you, that's what I've found out.
Catherine Bell

LA can be a very open and accepting creative environment. But it is important, because there is this odd separation here, it is important to make your kids mindful of other people and other people's plight.
Ryan Phillippe

LA's a very hard place to be unless you have people there that love you. It can be very, very lonely, and it can eat you up if you don't take care of yourself. In LA, nobody wants to talk to each other, everybody's giving each other catty looks.
Scarlett Johansson

Look at music: I've always loved hiphop and rap, and now there's this whole progressive movement, with De La Soul and Mos Def, Common. It's some of the best stuff around.
Ryan Phillippe

Magic Johnson, former basketball player, may run for mayor of LA in the next election. Remember the good 'ol days when only qualified people ran for office like actors and professional wrestlers.
Jay Leno
