Dr Steve’s Territory
"Los Angeles is a strange space, really a wild conglomeration of many different spaces, each one… with their own identity, and their own claim to LA’s identity as a whole. It is hard to tell where it begins and ends."
Gordon Douglas, Urban Planner
“You’re really nobody in L.A. unless you live in a house with a really big door.”
Steve Martin, Actor
“72 suburbs in search of a city."
Johnny Carson, Talk-Show Host
“Take Fountain."
Bette Davis, Actor
When asked what advice she has for actors trying to make it to Hollywood.
