    "The Hollywood bowl has always been one of my favorite places for their wonderful atmosphere and fabulous concerts. And one night they had the Playboy club jazz festival at the Hollywood bowl. And my boyfriend at the time, a young black man, loved jazz, had favorites. One of them was Dizzy Gillespie. And Dizzy was headlighting one of the nights at the Playboy festival. And I suggested to him that we get tickets and go. Thought that would be something we could share."

    "We had to go get the ashes, and we're sitting with my mom in the pew, my sister and I, and there were so many people at this church that there were people even waiting outside to receive their ashes that by the time we got up to the front, my mom went one way, my sister and I went the other way, and we got separated."

    "Now, I'm pretty sure that these are the tallest buildings in the state of California that are not in downtown LA or downtown San Francisco. They are enormous, right? We're talking somewhere in the neighborhood of, I believe, 50 to 60 stories each. And I have this normal routine when I get to this building where I check in with the security, as everybody does."

    "So I looked at his Instagram account, and it was his real account, and I was like, this still can't be real. Somebody hacked his account, and it's a fake person. I did not believe it was this person. I just did not. And then I kind of started to, and I was like, this is weird. This is definitely strange. But I thought it was cool."

    "But then the next night, you could go there and you can see them perform. The soundtrack for Back to the Future, while Back to the future is playing on the screen. And then the next night there you could see Alicia Keys, and then the next night there you could see Herbie Hancock. And the list goes on and on and on."

    "And it's funny how after that dream, I made the decision to up and move to Los Angeles. And I typed in, of course, before I did that, I typed in Craigslist, Los Angeles, not looking for anyone in their 20s, early twenty s. I want to really focus and stay committed to this so called existence and the creative existence that is. And must have my own parking spot, must have my own room and a pool and all these things."

    "I have met a lot of celebrities in LA, but I'm gonna choose this story because it's the most embarrassing. And I figure if I'll do this and maybe some of you will feel okay about telling embarrassing stories in general because they're always really good stories. This isn't that fantastical or amazing, but I was so embarrassed. I just moved here 2009 and was meeting a friend for sous she in Santa Monica. Right on."

    "But what I experienced for the first time was a depth of flavor that invited the spice to come in later. But in the beginning of your bite, you're just getting a lot of other flavors that I don't think I ever tasted before. And I just was kind of in a squealing space. Like, I was so happy. And as I looked around the restaurant, I just noticed so many korean families there, which always."

    "I immediately got ready to go to the viper room, and the viper room was Johnny Depp's club, and my sister had a residency there with, at the time, darling stilettos. It was the most fun rock and roll girl group band that she was a part of, and the drummer was Matt Sorm from Guns N'Roses. This was my first day experience, so I rushed and got ready for that. My heart was. I see people from the Pussycat dolls watching in the audience."
