My favorite drive is Highway 101 in California between Los Angeles and San Luis Obispo. I love the 101; Highway 1 is too windy, and 5 is too boring - the 101 is just right. It's like the Mama Bear of scenic drives.
I love driving; driving along the California coastline is the best drive in the world.
Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream.
I had big dreams when I was a boy. And I can't say that I never saw a beach house in Malibu in those dreams.
Pebble Beach is Alcatraz with grass.
In California in the early Spring, There are pale yellow mornings, when the mist burns slowly into day, The air stings like Autumn, clarifies like pain - Well, I have dreamed this coast myself.
The best New York in the world is driving down the [Pacific Coast Highway] listening to the Velvet Underground. That's the best time I've ever been to New York.
I love going up the West Coast of the U. S. because it's one of my favorite parts of the world to tour.
I grew up in Marin County north of San Francisco, and in the 1950s and '60s it was a natural paradise.
