Scott Patterson Quotes & Trivia

Quotes

Scott: (when asked if he was happy about how the Luke/Lorelai relationship ended on "Gilmore Girls") No, I wasn't, because there was still a lot of life left in it. But also, less is more, because it leaves the audience's imagination where it could go, and that's really good writing. Why give them the full meal? And I know fans are a little upset because they feel unsatisfied. They feel like they hung in there for so long and didn't get the full monty, so to speak. But I think the show will live in their imaginations longer as a result of this type of an ending.

Scott: (about "Gilmore Girls") Look, the fans were the show. We really felt the presence of the fans. What a terrific and loyal group of people they are. I think they have 152 episodes of Gilmore Girls to go over again and again and relive. It's a lot of work that's in there, and I think at the end of the day, they're going to take away from this that they've had a good run as well.

Scott: (On being an incorrigible flirt) What can I say? I get bored very easily.

Scott: I never worked in a coffee shop and I don't drink coffee, so I never thought I would become a coffee pusher on TV.

Scott: 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.
