That sounds kind of arrogant. What kind of tool would make a statement like that?
Here's what I was getting at. I was already working for one of the best newspapers in the state. They offered me a job when I graduated, but I told them straight out, I'm moving west. Thanks, but no thanks. I was fairly well connected in the journalism industry in Wisconsin, especially considering I was only 24. I knew some fairly powerful people, at least on a state level. Had I stayed there, I suspect I'd be editing a newspaper by now. The problem was, I'd wake up in January, it would still be dark outside, the wind would be blowing and it was 20-below. That depressed me. Made me want to sit in my warm house all day. I didn't want to feel like it was a chore to go outside and go to work.
So when you come to L.A., you realize something real quick - you're nobody. Everyone has a story. Everyone is striving to succeed. It's a cutthroat environment at times. There are 20 people fighting for the same piece of pie you're trying to get. Needless to say, life and work is much, much easier in Wisconsin. It's also much less challenging.
So give me the weather, give me the challenge and give me the rat race. I don't need to be well known. I only need to feel like I want to get out of bed in the morning, and that I do.
