L.A. just doesn't seem real to me. Chicago does. My real friends are there. It's home.
‐‐ Chris O'Donnell
L.A. kind of scares me.
‐‐ Kevin Bacon
'L.A. Law' has been a bit of a blessing and a curse. First of all, it was a very prestigious show that had a lot of intellect, and I was the pretty boy. I've had to battle that my whole career: 'Oh, you were the face guy. You didn't really have to act; you just had to wear the right suits.' I had to battle that.
‐‐ Corbin Bernsen
L.A. makes you feel ugly.
‐‐ Rachel Weisz
L.A. malls are so different than a 'mall' mall like we probably all grew up with that had a food court and the sword shop, the yo-yo kiosk.
‐‐ Eric Wareheim
L.A. prides itself on newness or being the last frontier or just not liking old things and tearing them down to build new things. But Malibu history is interesting to me. My mom's family was one of the early families in California, so there's history going back to the 1840s or '50s.
‐‐ Kim Gordon
L.A. really doesn't feel like home to me anymore.
‐‐ Dakota Johnson
L.A. runs on optimism, enthusiasm and flattery. I think you can go a little bit crazy. I've heard people say there's a limit to the number of years you can stay in this city without going slightly mad. It's just too damn sunny in every dimension - weather-wise, socially and professionally.
‐‐ Hugh Laurie
L.A.'s a better place to live than it is to visit.
‐‐ Simon Baker
L.A.'s a great city in a lot of ways. There's a lot of great weather here. I know some good people.
‐‐ Tahmoh Penikett
L.A.'s a pretty, warm, easy, breezy place. You can sunbathe, get a Mai Tai, and wake up five months later. And it's still sunny. And they're still serving Mai Tais.
‐‐ Chris Pine
L.A.'s always been good to me.
‐‐ Raekwon
L.A.'s become so cosmopolitan in its casting and also in its world view.
‐‐ Jamie Bamber
L.A.'s cool; I had a run with it to where it just pretty much wore me out. I love the weather and I have great friends there, great family, but I really cannot take a lot of the culture. Like Nashville, where everybody's a songwriter, everybody out there is an actor.
‐‐ Shooter Jennings
L.A.'s kind of, like, seven really cool towns. It's so laid-back. If you go in the right spot, you can walk around, and you don't need a car.
‐‐ Julian Casablancas
L.A.'s magic has let me see every level of the dream.
‐‐ Robert Crais
L.A.'s not a good place to grow old.
‐‐ Ozzy Osbourne
L.A.'s pretty great, man. But I'll be very honest - I prefer New York. It's more my speed.
‐‐ Jerrod Carmichael
L.A. still ranks as one of my guilty pleasures, along with butter-pecan ice cream and Coldplay albums.
‐‐ Damian Lewis
L.A. streets aren't just paved real estate but a cosmology, a manifestation of the city's sensibility.
‐‐ Steve Erickson
L.A. style is more laid back than London, mainly because it's always sunny. In London, the cold means you get to rock layers. And you can't go wrong with a trench coat!
‐‐ Jessica Lowndes
L.A. - talk about a cruel city: Patients are forcibly removed from hospitals.
‐‐ Michael Moore
L.A. to me is not really an attractive place.
‐‐ Nicholas Lea
L.A. was just an inspiring kind of place to be. It felt like going to Paris in the Twenties and Thirties. Everybody's there. Everybody's hanging around. Everybody's talking about music.
‐‐ Joe Perry
L.A. was never me. Nashville is my home.
‐‐ Jana Kramer
L.A. will never be a hockey town. I'm a huge hockey fan, and people out here do not appreciate hockey as much as they should. I've always been into it. I'm Canadian; that's my sport for sure.
‐‐ Jean-Luc Bilodeau
L.A. Woman is amazing, but when I was growing up I was into the Who.
‐‐ Bruce McCulloch
L'Oreal's slogan 'because you're worth it' has come to epitomise banal narcissism of early 21st century capitalism; easy indulgence and effortless self-love all available at a flick of the credit card.
‐‐ Geoff Mulgan
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 Cave was a great platform for me to learn and be able to listen in on conversations and just get a lot of notes and teachings from those older guys.
‐‐ Savion Glover
'La Lupe' is my passion project. I've done it as a one-woman show, but I'm raising money to turn it into a film. It's a story of a Cuban singer who became the Queen of Latin Soul, the first woman on the N.Y. salsa scene.
‐‐ Lauren Velez
La Mancha is a very macho, chauvinistic society. I saw very clearly that my life had to be in Madrid, and I liberated myself from my mum and dad after high school.
‐‐ Pedro Almodovar
'La Mancha' was a gift from me to me. I never thought for a minute it was going to be a hit.
‐‐ Mitch Leigh
La Masia is a place where lots of people live together but you are on your own.
‐‐ Andres Iniesta
'La Notte' is my favorite of the Antonioni pictures and my favorite work of the master cinematographer Gianni di Venanzo, who also shot '8 1/2' for Fellini.
‐‐ Jake Paltrow
La Paz, Bolivia, is the most extraordinary city.
‐‐ Phil Keoghan
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
La Scala is easily one of the top 10 symbols of Italy's cultural excellence. That makes it vital to our global image. Closing it would send a message to the rest of the world that Italy doesn't care.
‐‐ Diego Della Valle
'La Vie en Rose' is just about my favorite movie. Marion Cotillard, I'm so desperately obsessed with her work.
‐‐ Max von Essen
Labels are for cans, not people.
‐‐ Anthony Rapp
Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.
‐‐ Martina Navratilova
Labels don't mean anything to me. I'm trying to play as passionately as I'm able to. If they want to call that cool, that's fine. Just spell the name right, is the formula.
‐‐ Lee Konitz
Labels don't really impress, it's the uniqueness and risk in decor that inspire.
‐‐ Bryan Batt
Labels fund things and have resources for you to use. But just because you sign doesn't mean you sign yourself away so they can then tell you what to do. You need to have a plan yourself before they do.
‐‐ Gabrielle Aplin
Labels only confuse people. The smarter people recognize artists who transcend categories. But I always try to entertain. It's in my nature; writers are born to entertain. If that means working ostensibly within a genre, fine.
‐‐ John Shirley
Labels serve a purpose. They help one be identified. And I want to be identified.
‐‐ Eric Lewis
Labor also wants shorter hours and a say in how work shall be done.
‐‐ Sidney Hillman
Labor believes in sustainability. We believe in acting on climate change, not just talking about it.
‐‐ Anthony Albanese
Labor can and will become its own employer through co-operative association.
‐‐ Leland Stanford
