I try to travel as light as possible to avoid baggage issues. Los Angeles airport is notorious for baggage delays, so I'll often FedEx a suitcase ahead or back so I don't need to stand around; it also minimises problems at check-in.

Los Angeles is often described as the nadir of vapidity, a smog-choked space cradle.

I have an avocado tree at my place in Los Angeles - it's the smoother-skinned one, which tends to be a little stringy. Often the birds or raccoons get the avocados before I can harvest them. I have figs, too, which are great with prosciutto, of course. I have limes and lemons, which I use to make lemonade.

When I'm Los Angeles, it's work. That's what I'm there for is work.

I've lived in Los Angeles for at least 24 years.

I'll be going to the granddaddy of the Los Angeles theaters.
