Sometimes it takes a heavy paperweight to pin them down. ↗

There's not really much destruction in New York besides the weather and it's a natural force so it's not like any destruction. But LA gets leveled (laughs). That's my comment to Hollywood. ↗

Hollywood has always been a cage... a cage to catch our dreams. ↗
