Scout Taylor-Compton Quotes & Trivia

Quotes

Scout: I just finished filming an AFI Thesis Film called The Honey Fields. The director, Matthew Gordon, was really good. He’s really great with kids. I play a character by the name of Mary Beth, and basically I break up the relationship between two brothers, and in the end one of us is killed.

Scout: Well, Hidden Howie is based on skits that Howie does for Jay Leno. He’s done them for quite awhile, and it just evolved into his own reality based, scripted comedy, hidden camera show. It’s pretty funny. It’s based on his daily life, and the process he goes through making the skits for Jay, so you actually get to see the environment that he lives in. I play Madison, his son Jackson’s girlfriend, and Jackson is actually played by Howie’s son Alex Mandel. We’ve become really great friends.

Scout: If you’re just starting out, the best thing for you to get started is to do community theatre and student films. They will help you build a resume so that you will be able to find an agent. Once you have an agent/manager, set your mind to what you want, attend classes and workshops to keep up your skills, and work really hard. It will always pay off if you believe in yourself.

Scout: I guess I don’t see myself as others do. I’m just a normal kid, like any other teen, but my main hobby happens to be acting.

Scout: Believe it or not, for 3 months I’ve been trying to plan a Magic Mountain trip with my close friends, for my birthday. My poor friend Alex Black doesn’t believe me anymore, we’ve changed the date so many times.

Scout: As I’m getting older, I’m dealing with a lot more teen roles, which sometimes require a little more research, and a lot more character development.

Scout: I definitely love Hip-Hop and Jazz Funk also. It’s a little hard to fit everything in sometimes because I’m so busy, but I love taking classes at Millennium and The Edge. I’ll soon be working with a choreographer for my live performances as well.

Scout: I am currently learning to play drums and guitar, and will be working on keyboard next. It’s a lot of fun. I absolutely love drums!

Scout: It’s so amazing. I had never thought making an album could be so much fun. I love the late-night recording too! It's a little ways away, but it’ll be worth it when it’s finished.

Scout: I remember when I went to the Producer’s session for Cold Case, and he [Emilio Estevez] was so exhausted, it didn’t even look like him actually. I had to take a second look. He’s so busy as a director now, and it really shows through his work as to why he is in demand. I love his laugh! It’s hilarious. It would be awesome to be able to work with him again one day. He doesn’t really like photos, but I was able to get a photo with him on my camera phone.
