In Washington, the first thing people tell you is what their job is. In Los Angeles you learn their star sign. In Houston you`re told how rich they are. And in New York they tell you what their rent is.
Simon Hoggart
I would have loved to make a lot of money as an actor. I would have loved to not live in a shitty little apartment for most of the time I`ve been in Los Angeles. I would have loved to have nice things and bought new cars, but it`s painful for me to do a b...

I feel like there`s a race being run in Los Angeles for some unattainable goal -to be the best, the skinniest, the most beautiful. I just admit that that`s what I`ll never be. (Marie Claire - September 2005)
Reese Witherspoon
I happen to live in Los Angeles and it is probably one of the most toxic environments on earth. People live here and they know that the air is poisonous. They know that children are affected by the air in Los Angeles. They say that growing up in Los Angel...

[Returning to Los Angeles after a 20-year self-imposed exile to accept his honorary Oscar in 1971] Thank you so much. This is an emotional moment for me and words seem so futile, so feeble . . . I can only say that . . . thank you for the honor of invitin...

``Los Angeles makes you feel ugly. I`m not going to pretend I haven`t secretly wanted to be super-skinny, because all girls do.But I have a woman`s body, not a boy`s body. Most women do and should feel proud of their butts and their breasts and their bell...
Rachel Weisz
[in her last interview in the Los Angeles Examiner] As long as my money held out I could get drugs. I was afraid to tell my mother, my best friends. My only desire was to get drugs and take them in secrecy. If only I could get on my knees before the polic...
Alma Rubens
There are so many `accepted` criteria at least for defining your success in Los Angeles. I think you have to just establish your own criteria for yourself before you enter the town or shortly thereafter. It has to be about your personal happiness. What is...
Carl Lumbly
In Chicago it`s really a case of the play`s the thing - people are just so happy to be acting, you know? We were all actors - not like in New York or Los Angeles, where everyone says they are actors but they are actually waiting tables and hustling for sp...
John C. Reilly
I went back to my high school in Texas about a month ago. I ended up spending five, six hours at the school meeting different kids. It was really fun because it made me think, "Wow, people are actually seeing these movies that I make!" When you`re in Los ...
Luke Wilson
(on his first trip to America and landing Remington Steele) The trip to America, it was such a great joy to go there with Cassie, to take that leap of faith and go to the New World--all that nonsense you read about in books. But again it was a liberation....
Pierce Brosnan
I had this crazy job, though, when I first got to Los Angeles...I answered this ad in the back of the newspaper to be a telephone psychic, and I did that for two days. I called up this guy, and...this is how hard it was to get this job: He said, `So, uh, ...
Jenna Fischer
[Los Angeles, 1969] Let`s just say I was testing the bounds of reality. I was curious to see what would happen. That`s all it was: just curiosity.
Jim Morrison
Everyone said no. Everyone with a date book and a phone in Los Angeles said no. [On Hollywood`s initial response to his Garden State (2004) script].
Zach Braff
Three or four times, I`ve pulled a gun on somebody. I had a problem after Charles Manson, deciding to get a gun. But I didn`t want somebody coming in my house and committing mayhem. The Hillside Strangler victims - one of the girls was found in back of my...
Marlon Brando
The wireless telegraph is not difficult to understand. The ordinary telegraph is like a very long cat. You pull the tail in New York, and it meows in Los Angeles. The wireless is the same, only without the cat.
Albert Einstein
My parents moved to Los Angeles when I was really young, but I spent every summer with my grandparents, and I`d stay with my grandfather on the farm in Longview. He was retired from the railroad, and he had a small farm with some cows and some pigs. I rem...
Forest Whitaker
I`ve been told that I`m incompetent, socially retarded, maladjusted. I still know that I couldn`t function in reality. Los Angeles is a good place for me.
Diablo Cody
I just always loved to sing, but I was always too chicken. I got a wonderful singing teacher in Los Angeles, and I would sneak into his studio and work on technique and sing songs and skulk out, and that was as far as I got. That was years ago, so I final...
Mary Masterson
I was born in Vancouver, moved to Los Angeles and when my parents split up, gradually moved back up the west coast. I was able to pack a lot of experience into my 19 years. My parents getting divorced was obviously a very traumatic experience. And then af...
Joshua Jackson
[on living and working in Los Angeles] Los Angeles is like a desert. The only thing that exists is the work you do. You have that sense of living a precarious existence.
Jenny Agutter
Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.
David Letterman
