It's not about Hollywood, it's always about a good script for me.
In a sometimes unreasonable business, Jack Valenti was a giant voice of reason. He was the greatest ambassador Hollywood has ever known and I will value his wisdom and friendship for all time.
Hollywood is a place where they place you under contract instead of under observation.
One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding?
Wearing a tuxedo isn't as simple as it sounds. I've been to a lot of award shows in Hollywood over the years and have seen some pretty sad tuxes. It's surprisingly easy to go off the rails.
If I fail, the film industry writes me off as another statistic. If I succeed, they pay me a million bucks to fly out to Hollywood and fart.
I grew up in Hollywood but not in any rich neighborhood.
I enjoy that the most powerful person in Hollywood is indeed a Black woman in Oprah Winfrey. I'm hoping to just transcend beyond that.
What's considered ideal in Hollywood is completely different than anywhere else in the world. I don't think you can aspire to it, nor can I. Everybody is retouched, stretched, lengthened, slimmed and trimmed. I could look at a picture of myself from the past and think, 'Why don't I look like that now?' It's because I never have!
I keep a pretty low profile. I live in Culver City with some roommates. I don't do the whole 'Hollywood' thing.
When I first came to Hollywood, I used to dream of doing films and escaping television.
[Show] business is tough. You never know who or what's real. It's tough when you get in this business, if you have no grounded foundation other than Hollywood, because this business isn't real. We're getting paid to do what we love, but it isn't real.
I don't know what goes on in their heads out in Hollywood.
Hollywood is like high school, there are always going to be people who hate you and people who like you. When you're a teen, [that's tough] because you're hyper-aware of what other people are gonna say and think. But neither defines who you are as a person or how successful you are unless you let them.
I would be good for maybe not the center square but an upper square on 'Hollywood Squares. '
I'm Anna May Wong. I come from old Hong Kong. But now I'm a Hollywood star.
I feel like Hollywood is a big high school again. Seriously, Ashton Kutcher is the prom king.
I believe 'Hollywood' is more like middle America than many people imagine.
I don't give Hollywood the power to limit me. Only God can limit me.
People in England talk about stupid Hollywood idiots, but the industry attracts some of the cleverest people in the world.
