" Every poem that I write is from something that actually happened."
- Sabreen Shabazz Los Angeles Poet
" I think when enough people get tired of listening to things that aren't
giving them enough substance than they start to look for something a
little bit deeper. I really appreciate folks that can really listen to music
from all over the world . I'm so fortunate, I had that experience and I
bring that to my radio show. I think that music is the universal language. "
Miles Perlich - Disc Jockey for KJAZZ 88.1 FM
" Its been a little over two years & we have worked with over 250 young
Latinas throughout Southern California. We've expanded into Mexico,
Guatamala and El Salvador. The focus is for them to be introduced
to different resources and life experiences for the program, so it's not
just focused on photography. "
- Eric Ibarra Non Profit Founder of Las Fotos Project
" I always try to do projects where I learn stuff as I'm going.
Like, I had only read the Divine Comedy one time when I started
and then I spent six years working on it, reading book and book
about it, reading translations and going to Italy to see the places.
So, I start these projects and they get bigger and bigger. "
- Sandow Birk Artist / Koplin Del Rio in LA / Catherine Clark in SF
" As far as tuning, I think the best way to sum it up is that it's a
manipulation of intervals. You have this huge instrument that
has to sound in tune and your actually distorting the intervals to
make it sound that way in the end, in the final analysis. When I
first started out it took me about a day to tune a piano. And then
you get down to the industry standard which is about an hour. "
- Annie Hayden Piano Tuner for STEINWAY
" There something about artists, theres an inner motivation to create.
This has certainly been true for me, I never get tired of creating. You
have to be out there in the world today. You need to create whatever
it is that you feel bound to create and then you do have to go out there
in the greater world and make every effort to have it seen, either through
gallery shows or in my case, mostly through publication. "
- Jimmy Steinfeldt Rock and Roll Photographer
" As soon as my pen hits the paper, I think of the forest, I think of
Minnessotta, I think of the North woods, I think of rivers, I think of
lakes and I think of family. What better vehicle for your home sickness
in Hollywood than to write music ? "
- Patrick Reiger Founder of The Band WHISKEY SUNDAY
" The building was built in the late 1920' s. It' s always been an entertainment
venue. It first opened as a Yiddish theatre. In the late 1930' s it became a night
club called Slapsy Maxie's. Spike Jonze [ The Conductor], Phil Silvers , Sammy
Davis Jr., all kind(s) of celebrities came here. In the 1950' s, it became a live
legitimate stage theatre. Monty Hellman the director of Two Lane Blacktop ran
a theatre group here briefly. Then around 1958 Raymond Rauhauer ran one of
the first Art House Film theaters here. My dad started running the place in 1978
with a couple partners & eventually ran the place by himself. "
-Michael Torgan Owner of The New Beverly Cinema
" The most important thing about what I try to bring to an actor is to say to them,
lets not play whats written on the page. Lets play a character that would surprise
everyone . Were trying to do something thats original and different. "
- Bernard Hiller Acting Coach & Author
" We produced Huey P.Newton with Roger Guenevere Smith
for PBS Television and won the Peabody Award. It was a convergence of all
his talents. Roger is a prolific artist. One of the things that he does that I
love is, he creates and he creates non stop and he does it in his own unique,
artistic way. It's compelling, it's provocative, it's theatrical."
- Bob Thompson Theater Producer
" The Punks [ Musicians and Fans] ]really had a sense of being in the future.
We really did think we were very modern and we were assimilating the past
modernistic art trends. Like Surrealism, Situationism. Which wasn't necessarily
art, but, it was. It was like subverting culture into becoming it's own art form."
- Ruby Ray Photographer & Documentary
" I am motivated to do it because I have had an experience that I
have to somehow make visual . "
- Joan Schulze Artist & Lecturer
" Its become a lifestyle issue. We've become a little too lazy. We need to
start being more proactive. The change starts with you. What can you
do to make a difference ? "
- Miguel Rivera Organic Farmer
" The path to becoming a licensed architect is pretty rigorous and it requires
you to work in firms & you know, go through a very traditional path. So,
instead of working with architects, while I was in Grad School, I built up
on the social justice work that I started prior to college. I found myself working
more within the Non Profit context and the community building organizations.
Immersing myself within the City as opposed to focusing on the construction
of buildings."
- Theresa Hwang Architect
" The only people who can give a narrative thats correct or that is legitimate
are those that have been there, done that and observed and participated in it.
I'm one of those people. "
- Sandy Chase Record Collector
" What I like about L.A. is that the communication and the exchange and discourse
is less focused on the market and maybe less focused on the stardom aspect and more
focused on the kind of intellectual kind of discourse and how the work relates in a
larger art historical context."
- Susanne Veilmetter
