Taylor Handley Quotes & Trivia

Quotes

Taylor: (On romance) When I was 17 and living in Santa Barbara, I took off from school early on Valentine’s Day, climbed up a mountain to this off-limits property called Tea Garden, and set up a picnic. Then I took my date on a hike to the top. We could see the entire ocean.

Taylor: (On being the youngest in his family) My older brothers are twins, so they have that connection. But I’m the cool little brother they’re all stoked on. They taught me to surf, skate, and listen to the right music. They really helped me grow into the person I am today.

Taylor: (On Palm Springs, where Hidden Palms is filmed) It’s hot as hell, but I love it! There’s a magical thing happening there. It’s really green, and the mountains are literally on top of you. It’s like this mystical little land. I go every year for the music festival, Coachella. Last year was the best- I saw Daft Punk and Depeche Mode! The festival’s vibe is just killer- it’s so artsy, free, and creative.

Taylor: (On his music preferences) There are some stupid rumors on the internet - like I listen to Hanson and Britney Spears. I've been into punk rock since my brothers gave me my first Black Flag tape. But, I'll listen to everything from Tom Petty to Slayer, from Depeche Mode to Strung Out.

Taylor: (The most compelling thing about the show and his role) You know, Johnny Miller’s character, he’s like the anti-hero hero. He’s not like the everyday wide-smile kind of guy. He’s got a lot of baggage that comes along with him, so I really liked that because it....helps me to have those levels in the character that I play. It makes it more interesting for me and so that’s what drew me to the character.

Taylor: Well, for me it’s all about the good work, you know? The characters I’ve taken on…I just had a personal connection with them, because when I’m acting I like to take things out of my personal life and things out of other people’s lives that I find interesting and put then into my character, as well as adding my imagination. I think those three things kind of make the character. So, all the characters I play have just been really fun.
