Being in Hollywood is like being in the Christian right these days.
It's just not good to put stock in a Hollywood celebrity.
It's rare to be treated like a friend you haven't met in a Hollywood meeting.
In the past when I was in Hollywood, I was like a dog. I felt humiliated. My English was not good. People would even ask me 'Jackie Who?'.

All women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols.
I've spent several years in Hollywood, and I still think the movie heroes are in the audience.
Where is Hollywood located? Chiefly between the ears. In that part of the American brain lately vacated by God.
Sometimes when you get old, you get a star on Hollywood Boulevard.
Of course I danced a lot when I was making 'Swingers.' The swing music scene was big in Hollywood, and I went to places like The Derby. And, after I wrote it and was trying to get it made, I would go every week so I'd be good at dancing.
Hollywood is a place where people from Iowa mistake each other for stars.
Hollywood is the most superficial thing you could possibly be a part of and if I weren't attractive I wouldn't be working at all.
I wasn't like a Hollywood child actor - 'I'm five! I can sing, I can dance, I can act! I wanna be a star!'
I've played heavies for years and years and years. I was bald. I came to Hollywood. I did a play about junk. I was a pusher, so I played pushers for years and years and years. I did war movies and things like that.
People in England talk about stupid Hollywood idiots, but the industry attracts some of the cleverest people in the world.
It's not just people in Hollywood: I'm sure everyone in the world thinks, 'What would be it like if I won an Oscar?'
I didn't want to raise my child in Hollywood.
I'm in control of my life, not anyone in Hollywood.
If someone was making a movie about F1 in the last six months, they wouldn't need to add a Hollywood ending. If they do make that movie, it's got to be 'The Curious Case Of Jenson Button,' where I've lived my life backwards. I'd like Johnny Depp to play me but he wouldn't be quite right.
There couldn't have been a better Hollywood ending for us. It's beyond baseball. It's rooting for your family.
I can tell you as a fact that if you'd asked anyone in Hollywood one year before 'Pirates of the Caribbean' had come out, they'd have told you the pirate movie was a dead genre. And it's not that it's a dead genre. If you make a bad pirate movie, no one will want to see it. If you make a good one, everyone will want to see it.
I feel like I've been very smart in the way that I carry myself and treat myself. I feel like my mom was a big part of that just because she's always let us make our own decisions, and we've known very much about the mistakes and the dangers already of whatever this Hollywood life may be.
I am not a cult director at all. I make Hollywood movies.

In Hollywood, you feel a responsibility to look less disheveled than you are. But I'm a mom, and I'm not good at putting time into prepping.
I'm still ambivalent about Hollywood. I think that's why I made 'Star 80.' To deal with the ambivalence. I really wanted to succeed Gene Kelly, and I thought it was a fair bet.
Hollywood today is all about being consistent. All thinking in mainstream film business takes place in one box.
I just feel lucky to have grown up where I did because I think it gave me a nice base. Hollywood can really mess with your sense of self and I feel like coming from the South keeps me pretty grounded.
I worked in Hollywood as a reader and a would-be writer for about 6 years before I sold my first story.
I have never planned my career here in Bollywood, so planning to do Hollywood films is a distant thing. You have to see how things come.
For the most part, Hollywood is very transactional. People want to make movies and television shows.
Hollywood was possible for a while! Why didn't I go along with it? Well, the other things that were pulling me back were more important. Being at home, being in the same marriage, these things enabled me to go off and travel in the first place.
My first year and a half in Hollywood, I did three films. Then in 1959, I was in 'Gidget,' 'Imitation of Life' and 'A Summer Place.' After that, I was a star. It was fun.
I make movies for grownups. When Hollywood starts making them again, I'll start acting in them again.
I think the bottom of the totem pole is African-American women, or women of colour. I think they get the least opportunities in Hollywood.
I tell you, I'm really not what you'd call into your basic kink, even though we do live in Hollywood, which is a little bit like living in a box of granola.
