Love Quote by Billy Connolly

Los Angeles isn’t a city here; it’s a running gag with a pulse. Billy Connolly’s line lands because it treats LA’s defining trait - relentless self-mythologizing - as both wonder and warning. “I love Los Angeles” opens like a tourist postcard, then the punchline snaps it into something more knowing: “It reinvents itself every two days.” Not years, not seasons. Two days. The exaggeration is the point. Connolly, a comic who trades in shrewd observational speed, uses the hyperbole to mimic the city’s own tempo: the churn of trends, the constant construction, the rotating cast of identities.

The subtext is affectionate skepticism. Reinvention sounds aspirational until you notice what it implies: a place so committed to becoming “new” that it can’t sit still long enough to be fully known. LA is the capital of the rewrite - careers, faces, neighborhoods, even personal histories. In a city built on entertainment, “reinventing yourself” is practically civic religion, and Connolly tweaks that mantra by making it absurdly frequent, like a software update you didn’t ask for.

Context matters: Connolly comes from Glasgow, a city with a heavier relationship to permanence, class, and lineage. From that vantage, LA’s fluidity reads as exhilarating and slightly ridiculous, a place where identity is less biography than branding. The joke works because it flatters LA’s glamour while puncturing its instability: a love letter written in the ink of disbelief.
