Seriously... @Ryan - The one and only time I've met her she was a bit rude and I wasn't being a pushy fan or anything. @Burt - Wow, great thoughts man. Balance in your own life... @Beth Barry – awesome quote! Seriously…

No night life?! I think you're just boring because I have yet to see you out and about... There is so much to do, Showdown in Chinatown, Next Door, Art After Dark... the only time I've ever seen her out and about was at the LOST symphony... I've seen the other LOST actors out and about... However, I do agree with the comments about inefficiency. Seriously... just the roadwork and construction hours drive me nutz. Especially out here in Ewa... why can't construction be at night when the roads are LEAST used instead of during rush hour? Seriously? No night life?!

Give me laid back Kaneohe any day over the mainland. Every minute of every day people here are rushed. They are almost always too busy to be friendly, or even polite to someone they don't know. It's like its not worth their time or while... I have to keep reminding myself not to smile at passersby. Most of the time, they don't smile back and I'm left feeling perfectly stupid. You might be more connected when you're living on the mainland to big cities/populations--but why would you want to? There's no real connection between people here, that is outside close family or circles of friends. At home on the Windward side, families connect to one another and there is a real sense of brotherhood and community. It may seem slow to nonlocals but, to me, the pace of life in Hawai'i is perfect. Some may say it's cultural bias, but people at home seem far happier and more close knit than they do here. Maybe the Aloha spirit that is so important to us locals is dependent on the slow pace of our life style. I grew up in Kaneohe and miss everything about home.

If you are working the set you're working the set. If you are off the set then maybe you are practicing your lines. Or maybe you are lining up your next project. If that's the case then yes, I agree it would be tough to see efficiencies in Hawaii when most of the work she would be looking for orginates from elsewhere. Personally, IMHO if you think your efficiency (balance) is determined by things external to you then I think you will be mightily disappointed, where ever you live.

Everyone has a "home" and when you're living in a place that is different from where you grew up, it's always easy to fing something you don't like. I'd would have been nice to hear the interviewer ask what she LOVED about Hawaii. I'm sure she'd have a list for that too. Having said all of that, I'd take Hawaii over any place in the world - hands down! But maybe that's because it's my "home." :) Would you like some cheese with that whine. :) Just kidding.

But I think the question came up because she's been the most vocal historically about having difficulty adjusting to Hawaii.

It’s more important to be nice.
