I remember moving out to L.A. straight after college and just starting to try to write scripts and trying to get stuff off the ground.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I work in L.A. from time to time.
There've been moments where I just was tired of being in L.A. It was very difficult. I mean, you're constantly rejected. And that's OK, it's just really frustrating for me, because I try to read scripts and projects that have really great, deeper, meaningful qualities to them.
I wish I had some interesting stories about living in L.A., but mostly I just do my work and then go home.
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 moved to New York first and was really apprehensive about moving to L.A., but I really, really like it.
I'm based in L.A., mainly. I'm pretty much there a lot of the time doing work.
I couldn't get an acting job to save my life when I moved to L.A.
There was a moment in the early '80s when I wanted to work on films and wanted to live in L.A.
What brought me to L.A. was work! I moved to Chicago after college - I went to Kalamazoo - did my nerd thing, graduated, and moved to Chicago to pursue improv.
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.
