A Quote by Todd Solondz
For me, New Jersey is kind of a mythical place. It's emblematic of a certain aspect of American life. Florida is the same way. It's where people go to recreate, to reinvent themselves. It's what California used to be. I think Florida is still a place to erase the past.

I actually like south Florida. I never lived in a more interesting place than this. I've never met a wider range of people.
