Everybody in L.A. is a songwriter, producer, actor, creative. For some reason, you're supposed to go to a bar and all hang out and act like you like each other. There is a lot of fake stuff that goes on.
I've actually changed my view of Los Angeles. When I was younger, I hated it, because I thought it was fake and superficial. As I've gotten older, I've found that to be absolutely true, but I don't care.
To me, 'X Factor' is like Vegas. Fake, twisted, but kind of wonderful. Maybe I'm sick, but I find the whole thing quite funny sometimes.
Pseudo' was about, how after moving to Toronto I saw a lot of inauthenticity. A lot of fake people that aren't about having real moments. Real conversations.
Hippies are so phoney and fake.
I think the film and TV industry - the acting world - has a tendency to attract a lot of people for the wrong reasons; reasons that are less than artistic. It has a tendency to be pretty superficial, and pretty shallow and fake. I think what New Zealanders and Australians - and the English, I guess - have to offer is that we don't carry a lot of that baggage. We come over and we're pretty grounded. But on the flip side of that, you end up in a very unfamiliar environment being treated in a way that's a little bit surreal.
I just find that you can become a very boring person living in L.A. I tell you, living there on a day-to-day basis is vacuous: terribly fake.
I live in Los Angeles, which is the youngest place - there's no history to Los Angeles. Everything's fake.
We have to preserve folk in its authenticity. Else folk will become fake.
The so-called culture nowadays is only a fake one with a superficial front. It is an empty lie.
I thought that the fashion world could be a bit fake sometimes, but it's nothing compared to Hollywood. These girls would walk over their grandmothers' graves to get a part, and the producers talk about actresses like they're dirt, picking over every part of them so that they end up paranoid and having surgery.
L.A. is so fake - girls there are so superficial.
So-called Chinese art and culture is under control of the Party. They exist to serve the official agenda. I call it fake art and culture.
