Actress Neve Campbell says she never "felt at home" living in LA and finds London too expensive.
The 42-year-old Canadian actress made the Hollywood movie hub her home when after she shot to fame in Wes Craven's slasher franchise "Scream".
But after a number of setbacks, including being terrorised by a stalker and hating the roles she was being offered, she ditched the American dream in favour of a quieter and cultured life in London, England, reported The Guardian.
"I had security because of a stalker, which was horrible. I wasn't interested in the things I was being offered. I was sitting in LA getting sad.
"I lived there for 13 years and I never felt at home. LA is very isolating. It's not a walking city and it's not a very cultured city. In London I got culture, that's for sure," Campbell said.
However, she didn't stay in London for long because it is "so expensive that people are grumpy" and finally settled in New York City, where she met her partner JJ Feild with whom she had three-year-old son, Caspian.
And the star is relieved she no longer gets caught up in the hype of Los Angeles and claims she doesn't even know when the Academy Awards take place.
