"I don't spend much time on the computer at all, so I do most of my email on my phone if I do any at ..." — Eric Garcetti

My wife and I are foster parents.

I'm pretty skinny, and I can sleep at the drop of a hat. So, take that middle seat in economy and save the money for other things you can do.

In Washington, you have imaginary problems, and they can't even solve the imaginary problems.

The travel that I've spent around the country, I always come back with ideas for L.A. and vice versa: My experiences in L.A. give me an immediacy to issues that sometimes people in Washington think about but aren't experiencing every day.
