Adam Granduciel Quotes

From the first time I heard Bob Marley or even Sublime, I wanted to move out to California and be near the ocean, start surfing, start being a part of that whole thing.

There is a lot of California in my... sound, and a ton of it is the laid-back nature of Southern Californians and the beach.

The whole idea of doing the Hollywood thing never even occurred to me. When you grow up on the East coast, Hollywood seems like this fantasy land and you don't think that people can actually make a living there.

I quite like L.A.

I think L.A. is beautiful.

I'm a Cali girl through and through.

Move to California. Malibu is paradise.

Yeah, I love Los Angeles.

I kind of grew up on the East Coast, lived in New York for a while, then moved to L.A. So I'm not a New Yorker at all, but I'm much happier in New York; I've always liked it better.

I'm a surfer. I grew up in Southern California and used to surf twice a day, every day.

All the people love L.A. All my friends are jealous because I am here.

I love L.A. I love being out here.

I know there are many things California can offer - personally, professionally, meteorologically - that New York can't. It sounds awesome.

I really, really like Los Angeles.

I am in love with Los Angeles.

I don't actually think I could be happy on one coast all year round. California is a sweeter lifestyle, but I need the energy of New York to keep me on my toes.

My brothers and sisters have achieved so much in their lives and have had so much success, but I'm just 17, so I'm still growing and learning. Since I have grown up on the West Coast, it definitely is different than all of them growing up on the East Coast. It's a different lifestyle, obviously, California vs. New York.

I grew up in LA so I'm definitely a West coast girl. It's a totally different beach. It's a totally different ball game. I feel like on the East Coast being at the beach is something they don't get to do a lot. So you get this feeling where feel the energy of everybody just being so excited to be on vacation or in the sun. Here in LA I feel like we get that a little bit more so we don't appreciate it as much. But there you could really feel the energy.

And before me was the great raw bulge and bulk of my American continent; somewhat far across, gloomy, crazy New York was throwing up its cloud of dust and brown steam. There is something brown and holy about the East; and California is white like washlines and emptyheaded - at least that's what I thought then.

I've actually enjoyed my time in L.A. more than a New Yorker is supposed to.

Oh, I love L.A. It's not so much about Hollywood. I love everything in L.A.

I'm an L.A. girl, a Cali girl - a Cali girl from Connecticut.

Los Angeles was really beautiful, and California in general is a great place to live.

It's hard for me not to play on the West Coast. I love it out there.

In my early years, I would be in the studio till 11 P.M. Come home, have bath and dinner, and write music till 2 A.M. I would wake up by 4, sit down to do my music, and be at the studio at sharp 7 A.M.
