I think L.A.'s terrific. You fly an hour and a half and you're in the mountains in three feet of powder. I also think it's a much better city if you're working as an actor. If you're not working and you don't see your dreams coming true, there can be a lot of heartache. Scott Patterson
I didn't have a lot of independent film connections. It really took until the digital film revolution came along that I realized that I could do it myself. Harry Shearer

I write a lot of music in my time off and I compose most of the songs on guitar. I've actually gone into the studio and recorded a few things, but it's tough trying to sell a song. It's all about finding that hook, that melody. Scott Patterson

Oksana Baiul
