My mother had been an actress and we came from that world in New York, the theater world and the downtown sort of theater scene, and so I guess we didn't really have what you'd call like a Hollywood kind of life at all.
Because Chicago was to radio what Hollywood was to films and Broadway was to the theatre: it was the hub of radio.
When you're reading Thoreau you look at Hollywood differently, let me tell ya!
Film is not a national business. It's international. And its centre will always be Hollywood.
Hollywood is much more than America. Hollywood belongs to all of the planet.
I'm not a Hollywood basher because enough good movies come out of the Hollywood system every year to justify its existence, without any apologies.
'Black Swan' does what Hollywood movies have always done - it spends its energies on getting some surface things right while getting everything important wrong. Darren Aronofsky, the director, applies the same techniques and the same sensibility here as he did with 'The Wrestler,' only with a prettier protagonist.
I think for the last fifteen, twenty years or so, Hollywood has underestimated the appeal of the Western. I think there is still a huge market.
Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.
I never took to Hollywood.
I'm quite lucky in that at certain angles I look all right, and at others I don't look so good, which enables me to play some leading roles and some stranger, more 'character'-type parts. I wouldn't say I'm the conventional handsome Hollywood leading man.
I've continued to always keep in mind having a healthy does of that in Hollywood, now that I am part of the system and obviously have to follow the way the system works - you still have to have that crazy determination.
Hollywood is a boys' club, and that's something I thought was a stereotype - and it's not. That really shocked me. Still shocks me. Everyone's helping their buddies out and pressing their buddies and playing tennis with their buddies and making movies with their buddies, and that grosses me out.
In Hollywood, you still have wonderful actors, but it's so hard to work there. To work becomes a Kafka nightmare - it's the last communist country!
To this day, I don't know what shapes a Hollywood career.
Broadway is such a diverse community. Everybody knows how I believe, and everyone believes, and it's not a big deal. But in Hollywood, if you talk about politics - especially if you're a Republican - or spirituality, it's just not something people want to hear about.
I actually met Deadmau5 for the first time on the red carpet in Hollywood for the Grammys. I was there with my daughter, and he introduced himself to me. He said, 'Hey, I'm from Toronto.' I had a little conversation with him, and then I realized I'm talking to a guy with a giant mouse head.
If God doesn't destroy Hollywood Boulevard, he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.
It is not easy to get parts in mainstream films for most people of color. Hollywood and British writers are not writing parts for us, or the directors are not interested in casting us in parts that are color-blind.
Hollywood has a way of sucking the world's talent to it.
Writers never get a very good deal in Hollywood.
A lot of times in Hollywood, when casting directors find out you're of Middle Eastern descent, they go, 'Oh, you're Iranian? Great. Can you say, 'I will kill you in the name of Allah?'' I could say that, but what if I were to say, 'Hello, I'm your doctor.'
It's aggravating that Hollywood has never gotten credit for the role it played in promoting modern design.
My dad's a lighting director. Growing up in Hollywood, I was around the entertainment industry all the time. I knew I'd end up in show business in some capacity, eventually.
I love doing eyes - my signature look is a cat eye. I think it's so feminine, and it reminds me of old Hollywood.
People's sex habits are as well known in Hollywood as their political opinions, and much less criticized.
I loved living in Hollywood - and the weather there was just fantastic - but there is something about rural England, and especially Suffolk and Norfolk, that pulls at my heartstrings.
More than seven months ago, our country learned that the horrors portrayed in Hollywood's make-believe world could actually come to life before our very eyes.
In Hollywood - in Hollywood, you're as good as your last picture.
Some people think Hollywood is shallow. I find that it's home.
I certainly would never presume to play another race of a person. Diversity is important in Hollywood, and I would never want to feel like I was playing a character that was offensive.
West Hollywood is predominantly gay, so every man that came into the grocery store was shopping for his boyfriend.
Even though I've done Hollywood films, I still don't think of myself as a Hollywood actress.
It's funny because Hollywood is such a small place that everyone really is less than 6 degrees of separation.
I majored in theater at San Diego State. My one eye was on football, and my other eye was on Hollywood.
I've had the two procedures that probably every other woman in Hollywood has had done.
