Summary
Six years after leaving Los Angeles, Dennis Quaid said Nashville has given him space, close friends and what he called a strong sense of community for family life.
Quaid said frustration with California's high taxes, poor services and the fallout from devastating wildfires helped drive his move to Tennessee in 2020.
Hollywood's shift to self-taped auditions also weakened the community he once found in Los Angeles, he said, adding that new actors should consider Atlanta instead.
Quaid has not ruled out returning to California, but said conditions there need to improve; for now, he sees booming Nashville as keeping its character while drawing newcomers from across the U.S.
