Part of the whole L.A. mentality that nothing really matters unless it's a success... is such a shallow and dangerous attitude to have.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I see L.A. as a workplace rather than somewhere to live. If I don't get out, I go crazy. If you have a little success, people treat you differently, so it's good to keep a healthy perspective. It's acting, not rocket science.
L.A. doesn't have any big personality to me; it's not inspiring.
L.A. is an intense industry town, and there's a side of it that's superficial, but I surround myself with the kind of people who don't let me get sucked into that.
No one would argue against the fact that L.A. leads the country in opportunities for being hip and pretentious.
There is a level of snobbery and fickleness in L.A.
Being a part of success is more important than being personally indispensable.
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.
People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.
L.A. can be very superficial, and it's hard to meet cool people here. I try to stay away from the glitzy side of the business and have a normal life as much as possible. I keep to myself.
I like L.A., but it's just too many people in the same business everywhere you go. You lose perspective.
