Picture Quotes I had a map on my wall that had a circle around Lubbock and then giant arrows pointing toward New York City and Los Angeles. Written across both arrows were the words 'Toward Civilization.' Of course, by the time I got to New York, I realized there really isn't any civilization. —Barry CorbinWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Being blunt with your feelings is very American. In this big country, I can be as brash as New York, as hedonistic as Los Angeles, as sensuous as San Francisco, as brainy as Boston, as proper as Philadelphia, as brawny as Chicago, as warm as Palm Springs, as friendly as my adopted home town of Dallas, Fort Worth, and as peaceful as the inland waterway that rubs up against my former home in Virginia Beach. —Martina NavratilovaWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes To live sanely in Los Angeles ... you have to cultivate the art of staying awake. You must learn to resist (firmly but not tensely) the unceasing hypnotic suggestions of the radio, the billboards, the movies and the newspapers; those demon voices which are forever whispering in your ear what you should desire, what you should fear, what you should wear and eat and drink and enjoy, what you should think and do and be. —Christopher IsherwoodWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes Every time someone does a Western movie, people flock to it. It's like, we're continually programming to people who are least likely to watch us. People in Nebraska aren't watching things on the computer, they're watching television. Why aren't we programming things for them? We only program things that appeal to New York and Los Angeles and in many ways spit on the rest of the country. —Edward Allen BerneroWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes No matter how many people try, no matter how many fancy songwriters in Los Angeles try to break it down to a formula... to an extent, there isn't a science to writing great songs, I suppose. For me, it's always about melody - it doesn't matter what genre of music you're writing, if there's a strong melodic thing somewhere, whether that's in a vocal or in a guitar part or a sample. Something that sticks in your brain, that seems to be something that works. —Lauren MayberryWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

The first night, there was an agent in the audience who took me on and sent me out for jobs. —Norman ReedusWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
