When I’m home in L.A., I go to La Brea, a bakery which does artisan breads, excellent sourdoughs primarily, but also patisserie and cakes Picture Quote #1

I came from the Groundlings Theatre in L.A., and there, you’re guaranteed to at least try something out in front of an audience. At ‘SNL,’ only the best stuff gets picked, and it’s taught me a very defined language of comedy. You learn the structure of a joke, which is not something I was very good at beforehand Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent a lot of time in L.A. and I love it. A lot of Brits can’t stand the place, but I like the West Coast attitude and the way people celebrate success Picture Quote #1

In Los Angeles, parenting is a competitive sport. From Beverly Hills baby boutiques to kids’ yoga classes, L.A. fuses high style, industrial-strength materialism, and parental outsourcing into our own unique version of child-rearing Picture Quote #1

The first time I lived in L.A. I was too young. I really wanted to be back home in Vancouver Picture Quote #1

I majored in theater in college. I did a couple of plays in high school, and I really enjoyed it, so I went to Illinois Wesleyan University and got a degree, and then I went back to Chicago and started doing theater in all the companies around the city for about 11 years before I moved out to L.A Picture Quote #1

The business is all about gush and hype. You never have a bad meeting in L.A Picture Quote #1

I have a shoe habit. If I’m in New York, it’s a problem because I’m walking and I have access to more stores. In L.A., it’s not as bad Picture Quote #1

These days I travel so much it’s hard to get into a routine. When I’m on the road, I tend to use hotel gyms. When I’m home in L.A., I like to hike and hit the surf. All in all, I try to keep a balanced diet and exercise routine, which has stood me in good stead to date Picture Quote #1

I was embarrassed that I even wanted to become an actress because coming from L.A., with two older sisters in the business and a mom who had been a ballet dancer, it was such a cliche Picture Quote #1

I grew up playing the saxophone. I joined the jazz band in high school, but somewhere along the way I realized the guys who strummed acoustic guitars at parties were the ones who got the attention. So I asked a friend to show me a few chords, and when I moved to L.A. I spent a lot of time practicing my guitar Picture Quote #1

I could describe my career in two words: who knew. I was on the path to becoming a professional baseball player, but I got injured in college. When I decided to move out to L.A. to try acting, nobody was betting on me, not even my family Picture Quote #1

I could describe my career in two words: who knew. I was on the path to becoming a professional baseball player, but I got injured in college. When I decided to move out to L.A. to try acting, nobody was betting on me, not even my family. But it’s always been that way for me; nothing has come easy Picture Quote #1

Pilot season in L.A. is just this blood bath. They make so many pilots, and such a small percentage are picked up. And then if you are picked up, there are so many variables. You have to get a good time slot, and you have to get promoted. And then you have to thrive in that time slot Picture Quote #1

I did this class when I first moved to California. It was a ‘Kids on Camera’ class up in the Bay Area. That was good for just getting me excited in acting and everything. Then once I started working down L.A., I just stuck to my acting coach, and she helps me prepare with auditions and that sort of thing Picture Quote #1

A lot of people come to L.A. looking for something. What I came here for, I realize now, is to be okay with myself Picture Quote #1

I miss family and friends, and I’d like to get back to work more in Scotland, and do more things like theatre and ‘Red Road.’ But over here you have the beach and the mountains and the climate. A lot of people diss L.A. as being all tinsel town, fake this and fake that, but a place is only as good as the people you know Picture Quote #1

Wherever I can go, I hit the water, whether it’s the ocean, or in L.A. it’s Zuma Beach in Malibu; I just hit the water Picture Quote #1

Discovering L.A., in particular in the early 80s, was pretty spectacular; it was fun and carefree, and there was not nearly as much traffic as exists today. It was very much the last gasps of the Beach Boys’ ideal view of L.A.: sun, the beach, cars, blondes, etc Picture Quote #1

I love the weather in L.A., and I can drive 20 minutes to the beach, hike minutes from my house or go snowboarding a couple hours away Picture Quote #1
