I Don't Care What People Come At

Stay. Fight. Live. Take It. Cry. Cry. Cry.

I Go To My Room And I Drink And I Smoke Some Cigarettes And I Think About Her. I Drink And I Smoke And I Think About Her And At A Certain Point Blackness Comes And My Memory Fails Me.

I Always Wanted To Write A Book About La, A Big Ambitious Book. Nobody Had Ever Really Done It With La- Treating The City Seriously As A Major Economic And Cultural Power, As The Embodiment Of 21st Century America.

L.a Is A Huge Place, Literally And Metaphorically. Its Beauty And Horror. Its Unconventional History. Its Draw And Allure. Its Diversity And Segregation.

I Will Not Allow People To Impose Rules On Me That Don't Make Sense To Me. And I Live And Work Very Much Outside The Literary World And The Literary System. What They Think And What They Believe And What Their Rules Are Mean Nothing To Me.
