Lorde believes the lifestyle in L.A. infects people: “I don’t think I could ever live in Los Angeles. It does something to your soul. The place really infects people – if I stay there for too long I start being a freak. All this is just fantasy land as Lorde.”
Robert is realizing he can no longer live there: “I think I might be done with Los Angeles. I’ve just realised that in the past few weeks. I think I need to spend more time in London, or just move around a bit more. I’ve been in LA for six or seven years or something and it’s weird. The more you stay there, especially as an actor, the more you think you need to be there, that you’ll be missing out on something by leaving, but you are not really. It’s a fun city, though, but you are permanently on holiday there. I feel like I’ve been on holiday there since I was 22.”
