Tobias Wolff is a hell of a writer, but you knew that already. His first memoir, 'This Boy's Life,' was a Huck Finn story set in the Eisenhower era - a story so rich and wounding that not even Hollywood could make a bad movie out of it.

Tobias Wolff ist ein verdammter Schriftsteller, aber das wussten Sie schon. Sein erstes Memoir "This Boy's Life" war eine Huck Finn-Geschichte aus der Eisenhower-Ära - eine Geschichte, die so reich und verwundend ist, dass nicht einmal Hollywood einen schlechten Film daraus machen konnte.

I remember, especially like when I was in high school, going to see like Dawn of the Dead and it was like mayhem in the theater and you could barely even watch the movie. It was so fun.

Filmmakers, they tell me they want to make movies. I say, 'Good, go out, buy a $500 camera, get some friends and make a movie. Don't go to Hollywood. Stay wherever you are.'

Alan Arkin

Nobody in Hollywood ever sets out to make a bad movie ever but about 99% of the time, that's what happens.

Thomas Lennon

Female movie stars from the pre-Code era of Hollywood, like Mae West, could be so raunchy and witty before they were edited. Sometimes they could go further in their wit than we go now.
