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.
Passion is the thing that sustains you in acting. If you`re doing it for fame and money, don`t even bother because it will never happen. The last thing I ever expected was to be paid for this.
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.
Popstars really draw you in. It`s fascinating. It`s interesting to watch people thrown together in that kind of a situation. Even if the egos weren`t involved and they weren`t trying to be world famous. It`s the Real World, only better.

Lorelai: How does Charlie Rose screw up your REM sleep?
Luke: Because he`s always got some guy on pushing a book about how everything`s all going to hell, or they`re going to pass a law, how everyone with a nose ring is going to get shipped off to China. Suddenly you`re depressed, thinking we`re all going to die and don`t drink the water, there`s anthrax in my bagel - and bam, there goes your REM sleep.
Lorelai: Or Mel Brooks is on, and he is so funny, and you think, "What a wonderful world we live in, that there`s a Mel Brooks to go to sleep to."
Luke: Mel Brooks is never on Charlie Rose, and when he is on he`s talking about Nazis, and then you go to sleep and you dream about Nazis and they all look like Nathan Lane, and you`re creeped out for days.
Luke: Taylor, no, no, no, no, and every day from now on `til the end of my life, I am gonna come in here and say, "Taylor, no." And when I die, I`m gonna have them freeze me next to Ted Williams, and when they find the cure to what I died of and they unfreeze me, my first words are gonna be, "How`s Ted?" followed closely by, "Taylor, no."
