NEXT L.A.: A look at issues people and ideas helping to shape the emerging metropolis
“The real dream merchants of Los Angeles didn’t sell movies; they sold Los Angeles.”
“The real Los Angeles is invisible.”
“Only an ironist can love Los Angeles.”
“One of the delightful things about Los Angeles is that we inspire abuse.”
“No great harm is done, it seems to me, if we also have palm trees and suntanned beach girls . . . and we laugh a lot.”
“I am sure there are more beautiful places, and better places to live, but not for me.”
