There are so many urban pop ideas that are underserved, and I think Hollywood doesn't see us and misses the opportunity to integrate.
I was born in Connecticut. But my parents brought my sister and I to L. A. when-Hollywood, actually, when i was 6 months old.
When I first got into this biz called show, I decided I was going to change my name, make it more Hollywood. And you know how you do that? You take your middle name and the first street that you ever lived on. So when I first started, I actually went by Sue Rural Route 2.
Hollywood didn't know if I was an actor or a nut or if I was this crazy character I was playing. I had developed an image of being a little bit unusual, different and wild.
I think I am an actress and I'm artistic and I love spontaneity and all of that, but I just decided really early on that if I didn't also try to ground myself I would probably end up like this character of Laura in A Little Help , or like so many young people in Hollywood, sort of go off the rails. So I'm pretty attached to my routines and my grounded ways.

A lavish colored evocation of Hollywood now gone, as shown through an afternoon in the milieu of the 1920's film star.
There is a strange sort of reasoning in Hollywood that musicals are less worthy of Academy consideration than dramas. It's a form of snobbism, the same sort that perpetuates the idea that drama is more deserving of Awards than comedy.
In Hollywood Westerns even in the Thirties and Forties, history was mythologized to accommodate some kind of moral code. And what really affects me deeply is when you see it taken to the extent where Native Americans become mythical people.
I never made films like kind of career moves, like making this film in order to make that film in order to end up in Hollywood.
I arrived in Hollywood without having my nose fixed, my teeth capped, or my name changed. That is very gratifying to me.
Some young Hollywood starlets remind me of my grandmother's old farmhouse -- all painted up nice on the front side, a big swing on the backside, and nothing whatsoever in the attic.
It's very difficult to get any movies done about Black heroes - Haitian or American - in Hollywood. The argument in Hollywood is that there is no market for those movies, and that is not true.
One of the things that drives me crazy is the belief in Hollywood that bittorrent exists solely for stealing things.
The great thing about it is, in Hollywood, certain people are very good at keeping their lives and who they are very private. I've never met anybody as down to earth and cool in Hollywood than Matt Damon.
Women in Hollywood are tiny, but women in soap operas are the tiniest people alive!
Fame is no sanctuary from the passing of youth. . . suicide is much easier and more acceptable in Hollywood than growing old gracefully.
