Hollywood wouldn't suit me. In L.A. it's all about work - studio people have their five minutes with you and they go, 'Oh mah Gahd, I love your movie.' You just feel very self-conscious there.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Just because I live in L.A .and I live in Hollywood doesn't mean I have to have a Hollywood life.
Hollywood's a big place, and they make all sorts of different movies. Some movies I'm attracted to; a lot of the movies I'm not. But there are some terrifically talented people over there that I'd love to work with.
When I first went to L.A., I really hated it. I had this preconceived idea of what it would be like. You think of Hollywood as this beautiful place, but everything looks rundown and old.
Hollywood is a very hard place to be in. It really is.
Hollywood is the kind of place that takes what you do well in one thing and manufactures it so the joy can be taken out of it.
I've never really had a relationship with Hollywood. I've never had a desire to work there.
I've never been to Hollywood. I can count the number of times I've been to Los Angeles on my hands. I've never made a movie there and I've never been there for working reasons. The only reason to go there is for silly awards shows.
I just feel lucky to have grown up where I did because I think it gave me a nice base. Hollywood can really mess with your sense of self and I feel like coming from the South keeps me pretty grounded.
I live in Hollywood, but you can't make me love Hollywood. I'll never love Hollywood.
Well, there's different shades of Hollywood, sure. I mean, I'm working in this business but I'm not Hollywood.
