TribeLA Magazine: Where is your favorite place in Los Angeles? Where would you take visitors? If you could defend the city in one sentence to someone who doubts it, what would you say?
Rohitash:
I can’t say where my favorite place is because I don’t want everyone to go there. But let’s just say it’s my favorite place, because it’s so quiet (which is why I don’t want everyone to go there.) I didn’t appreciate L.A. until I left L.A. Upon returning to L.A. after 11 years in New York, I really fell back in love with this place. So I would say to anyone who doubts L.A., go away for awhile and then come back. Isn’t not having a winter awesome?

TribeLA Mag: What is the best advice you’ve received? What is the best advice you can give?
Rohitash: Just keep getting up.
