I don't even take myself seriously, so how could I possibly take Hollywood seriously?
I'm not of the manor born; I've never felt entitled in that way. I just came to Hollywood to be an actor. All that lifestyle stuff is something to be managed.
The problem with Hollywood is that nobody works. They have meals. They go to Pilates. But it's not enough. So they do drugs. If everybody had a pile of rocks in their backyard and spent every day moving them from one side of the yard to the other, it would be a much happier place.
Growing up in Hollywood, like I did, I have a passion and a love for the movies, so I go to the cinema all the time.
There is no middle ground in Hollywood; you're a failure or you're a success. That mentality is wild.
Corporate Hollywood thinks I'm a geek to go back and do theater. They don't understand why I don't want to be a movie star, why I'm not pursuing Mel Gibson's roles.
I still giggle when someone asks for my address and I say, Hollywood, Los Angeles.
I think Hollywood has a habit of developing 100 times more than they actually shoot.
I read that Hollywood wanted to film Fences years ago with a white director, but [August] Wilson refused. He thought that the director needed to have lived the culture of black Americans.
I pursued a theatre career, and Hollywood came calling.
Hollywood no longer depicts reporters in ruthless pursuit of criminals, high and low. Now they are the criminals.
I'm not a film snob at all. I much prefer a really good Hollywood blockbuster than a thought-provoking art house movie because entertainment is sort of where it's at.
The categories of A-minus through C-plus [films] are completely dominated by Hollywood.
