I was six months old at the time that I was taken, with my mother and father, from Sacramento, California, and placed in internment camps in the United States.
John McClane: [after being kissed on the face by a stranger on a party] Jesus! Fuckin' California!
One thing that improved my cooking skills was being a poor student in California... If you don't have much money, you have to learn to cook.
I got into medical school at the University of California in San Francisco and did well. A lot of smart kids in medical school, and believe me, I wasn't not nearly the smartest one, but I was the most focused and the happiest kid in medical school. I...
It shone on everyone, whether they had a contract or not. The most democratic thing I'd ever seen, that California sunshine.
You always read stories of people going out to California and making it as an actor with, like, two dollars, so I figured I'd try it.
I'm a free market person, a free trader. But if we had a market in California, there would be competition.
I'm in California, and that usually leans Democratic, and that's usually where I lean anyway... I would lean Democrat; I would lean Obama.
I always got a kick out of it when they called it the California Sound because it really came out of Liverpool and Greenwich Village.

What Melanie did was no more than all Southern girls were taught to do: to make those about them feel at ease and pleased with themselves. It was this happy feminine conspiracy which made Southern society so pleasant. Women knew that a land in which ...
First memory: a man at the back door is saying, I have real bad news, sweat is dripping off his face, Garbert's been shot, noise from my mother, I run to her room behind her, I'm jumping on the canopied bed while she cries, she's pulling out drawers ...
It inspired a kind of Huck Finn moment when I decided it was better to risk hell than shrivel in the midst of a toxic Southern Baptist morality.
From a young age, I wanted to play in the NBA. Oh well... It was when I was a senior in college that I fell for film, but even then, it wasn't documentaries. It wasn't until I ended up in graduate school at Southern Illinois University that I really ...
My parents traveled a lot, so my grandparents practically raised me. My grandmother and I really bonded in the kitchen. She's this amazing southern cook, and I would always help her - whether it was cracking eggs or stirring the green beans. It takes...
What do you mean fainted? Took a dive, kissed the pavement. Swooned like a southern belle after her first kiss. Had a dreadful case of the vapors.
