People aren't going to support an artist just because they have an audio file. They have to feel a real connection.

A street is a story in asphalt - so it's a paradox that the streets are the one place where the movies play fast and loose with continuity, something to which L.A. streets lend themselves as naturally as does the city's psyche.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Streets embody narratives and experiences, yet in the world of movies, they often lack consistency.
The quote suggests that the streets of a city hold countless stories, akin to the narrative layers found in asphalt. However, the representation of these streets in films often diverges from reality, reflecting the chaotic and fluid nature of both the urban environment and the psyche of its inhabitants, particularly in a place like Los Angeles, where the film industry thrives.
