I love Santa Monica and Venice because I like the beach. I have a lot of friends in that area.

Not everyone in Santa Monica is a well-heeled, juice-cleansing, Prius-driving yogini, but for better or worse, that is the city's dominant chord.

I usually like to throw on some flip flops and go to a really nice lunch in Venice, or Santa Monica, or stay in and cook dinner.

I have to at least get a couple weekends in where I can just be on Santa Monica beach or Malibu and just ride the waves.

I was born in Santa Monica but brought up abroad so I don't use English much.

'Santa Monica' was a big song, and I always knew it would be radio friendly. But it's not a defining song for me, though for a lot of people it is.
