And after a year in LA I had this moment where I was like ok you know what I can do this. I have to go all in. I can’t have a backup plan and I need to commit to doing this whether I’m homeless or I’m successful. And I knew if I had that type of attitude I’d be successful. I gave myself 10 years.
It’s been said that San Francisco is a city of smart people with no ambition, New York is a city of smart people with more ambition, and L.A. is a city of dumb people with the most ambition. This is harsh. After all, L.A. is the city of Bukowski and Bret Easton Ellis, but also of Angelyne, the original Kim Kardashian. Her blond wig barely visible over the dash of her pink Corvette, the swim-suit-clad billboard model of indeterminate age embodies the city’s limitless enthusiasm for the absurd.
