You could travel the world, but nothing comes close to the golden coast. Once you party with us, you'll be falling in love, Oooooh Oh Oooooh!

Unbelievable California Girls quotations
Bodybuilders party a lot, and once, in Gold’s - the gym in Venice, California, where all the top guys train - there was a black girl who came out naked. Everybody jumped on her and took her upstairs, where we all got together.

The girls in California were probably prettier in a standard sense than the New York girls--blonder and in better health, I guess; but I still preferred the way the girls in New York looked--stranger and more neurotic (a girl always looked more beautiful and fragile when she was about to have a nervous breakdown).

I went from a naive, regular girl in high school to trying to realize my dream.
When my family moved from the East Coast to California, I thought in my little brain, "Wow, I'm going to Hollywood. I could actually make this happen." It was easier for me to think it's possible living in a place like Los Angeles than trying to do it in suburban Maryland.
My family didn't have any money growing up. I'm just a girl from the ghetto; from Indio, California.

Just as Bowie, Zeppelin, etc., became rock stars by remaking themselves in the image of the California girls, the Go-Gos became rock stars by pretending to be the Buzzcocks and the Sex Pistols. Jane Wiedlin always said her biggest influence was growing up in L.A. as a Bowie girl.
I've had an interesting time adjusting to New York.
I'm from California and I'm very much a California girl. I feel lucky to officially say I'm bi-coastal.

There's no place on earth with more dumb girls per square foot than a college in California.
I'm originally from southern California, so I, like, say 'like', like, a lot.
I've been trying to scrub any traces of Valley Girl from my speech since I moved to New York, but it's, like, totally way harder than anyone thinks, you know?
I liked girls with pale skin because I am a California boy, tanned and blonde hair.

I arrived in California with no job, no car, and no money, but, like millions of other girls, a dream
They write songs about California girls for a reason.
with a country of rare picturesqueness for a background, a people of rare beauty for actors, everybody more or less permeated with the artistic instinct and everybody more or less writing poetry - California has a pageant for breakfast, a fiesta for luncheon and a carnival for dinner. They are always electing queens. In fact any girl in California who hasn't been a queen of something before she's twenty-one is a poor prune.

I was not a Southern California girl.
I hated having my photograph taken. I felt shy and embarrassed around famous people.
