Jeff Buckley Quotes
Everything I ever projected New York to be, it was-even the stinky, ratty, vomity part of it. Everybody has to do the subway. Everybody has to smell the same smells. And people get mad all the time. When people don’t like something, like ‘Get out of my way you blah, blah, blah.’ But in L.A. it’s like, ‘How ya doing? Let’s do lunch! I love you!’
