In Toronto and Los Angeles, too, there are a lot of Koreans - Koreatown, Korean markets. I feel like I'm at home and very comfortable.

In Los Angeles, I feel connected to a hubbub of strangeness. And I enjoy that; I like strangeness.

I am a Chicagoan. I feel like I've simply been on vacation for 10 years in Los Angeles. But Chicago is a real place, and L.A. is a motel.

Los Angeles, I don't like that town. Too decadent, and it's slimy.

I have eaten very well in Los Angeles. Marvelously!

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