I never had the chutzpah to just come to L.A. and make it. I didn't have that confidence. I'm always surprised when I get a job.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been really lucky because when I go out to L.A. it's for a job, not to look for a job. That's the way I like L.A. most - when I already have a job.
I work in L.A. from time to time.
When I first got to L.A., I was shocked at how business was done, and how people... it's like everything I was told not to fall for, I was surrounded by. And it was very difficult for me, because I just didn't like the industry at all.
I didn't go to L.A. because I wanted to move to California. I went to L.A. to work as an actor.
I was only in LA for two weeks when I got that job. And I didn't work again for two years.
What I remember about coming to L.A. is that suddenly work was as big a presence in my life as my life itself.
I always wanted to get out of L.A., but time passes, and you find excuses to stay.
I moved to L.A. right after I finished high school, for three years, because everybody was telling me it was important to get down there, and then I kind of just decided for myself that I didn't need to be there to be doing this. I wanted out of some of the chaos that comes with living here and being an actor.
I really came out to L.A. to take the money and run.
I love the fact that everyone's trying to be good-looking in L.A. - then I turn up and I get work.
