Whenever I focus on listening closely to what someone is saying to me, I realize that I just missed half of what they said while my inner monologue went on about how important it was that I retain this.

-Nine months ago, I moved to Los Angeles for the opportunity to further my writing and stand-up careers and possibly touch a fake breast. Hollywood is usually not kind to newcomers, but I’ve had a blast so far. I think it’s partly because I’m a naive New Yorker and partly because, well, people in this business just crack my shit up. Though I did finally get to touch a fake breast, I still consider myself an outsider in this town (and probably always will). You knew it was only a matter of time before I wrote this column. Ladies and gentleman, I present my “Ruminations on Hollywood Life.”
-Unlike when I worked on Wall Street, I love having meetings in Hollywood. Probably because they include free lunch, I don’t have to shave, and we get to talk about me.
-In LA, if you have a lunch meeting, it’s automatically from 1 to 2pm. Isn’t that weird? Everyone in the whole place has lunch at the exact same time! It’s just like elementary school, except without the immaturity, petty fighting, and unwillingness to share. OK, actually it’s exactly like elementary school.
-I’m honestly still not sure what producers do. As near as I can tell, as long as you have a big wooden bookshelf in your office filled with dozens of unread scripts that have the title written in black Sharpie along the spine, you’re a producer.
