Hollywood has always been political. They consider it their right and duty to tell us what is politically good and right.
‐‐ Mike Royko
Hollywood has always seen Sondheim as a caviar brand unsuitable for a popcorn industry.
‐‐ Richard Corliss
Hollywood has an obligation to watch what they put out there. Kids do imitate what they see - good or bad.
‐‐ Morgan Brittany
Hollywood has definitely grown, in embracing the inclusion of Latinos in the world, because, for some time, we didn't exist. We were not part of any stories.
‐‐ Salma Hayek
Hollywood has done some of these films, and some of them are ginormous biblical movies, but you can tell the people making these are not invested in the truth of what those stories are biblically. It shows in the work.
‐‐ David Oyelowo
Hollywood has given me a great, warm hug.
‐‐ John Boyega
Hollywood has its own way of telling stories. I was just telling stories that I was familiar with. And it's what I want to do in the future: I want to take my audio cinema and put it on the screen.
‐‐ Ice T
Hollywood has known this for quite a while: Cable is the place to go because they truly have a supportive network and they want to do things that cannot be seen on broadcast. That stimulates the writer-producer. Cable is king.
‐‐ Bryan Cranston
Hollywood has lost an enormous amount of quality.
‐‐ Claire Trevor
Hollywood has lost touch with their audience a long time ago.
‐‐ John Ratzenberger
Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!
‐‐ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Hollywood has treated me well.
‐‐ Paz Vega
Hollywood hasn't aggressively pursued me. Neither have I aggressively pursued Hollywood.
‐‐ Colin Firth
Hollywood hasn't changed. It is the most racist, anti-Indian institution in the world.
‐‐ Russell Means
Hollywood have been in touch; they want to make a movie of my life.
‐‐ Mark Roberts
Hollywood held this double lure for me, tremendous sums of money for work that required no more effort than a game of pinochle.
‐‐ Ben Hecht
Hollywood infected my brain and I really valued the wrong things in life, but I changed dramatically.
‐‐ Marina and the Diamonds
Hollywood is a challenging place; it's very easy for people to lose their heads. Fortunately, I grew up on it and I think I have a little bit of a head start.
‐‐ Troian Bellisario
Hollywood is a community that's so inbred, it's a wonder the children have any teeth.
‐‐ Barry Diller
Hollywood is a cross between a health farm, a recreation center and an insane asylum. It's a company town, and I happen to like the company!
‐‐ Michael Caine
Hollywood is a dirty temptress that has stolen my wallet way too many times. It's a great town, but at the same time, it's a hustle.
‐‐ Alexandra Shipp
Hollywood is a factory. You have to realize that you are working in a factory and you're part of the mechanism. If you break down, you'll be replaced.
‐‐ Mel Gibson
Hollywood is a far safer place to work than working abroad, because of the skill level, and because of the safety considerations that experience and unionization have created.
‐‐ John Rhys-Davies
Hollywood is a fast-paced, competitive world.
‐‐ Josh Henderson
Hollywood is a peculiar beast - people in Hollywood are nuts.
‐‐ James Patterson
Hollywood is a perpetual summerland, a temperate, godless yaw where the very word 'season' has been co-opted by television executives. There are few harbingers of winter here.
‐‐ Diablo Cody
Hollywood is a place of great irony at all times.
‐‐ Mark Canton
Hollywood is a place that attracts people with massive holes in their souls.
‐‐ Julia Phillips
Hollywood is a place where people from Iowa mistake each other for stars.
‐‐ Fred Allen
Hollywood is a place where the stars twinkle until they wrinkle.
‐‐ Victor Mature
Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
‐‐ Marilyn Monroe
Hollywood is a roulette wheel. Each project dictates what's going to happen for you next, and it doesn't really matter that your project is critically acclaimed or won awards or has fans worldwide. It's a matter of how many movie tickets and DVDs and on-demand movies that you sell.
‐‐ Adam Green
Hollywood is a small, familial place. Everyone does business with everybody else. The same complications occur in investment banking.
‐‐ Michael Ovitz
Hollywood is a small town, believe it or not. I see the same people over and over, so it's not that overwhelming or crazy as you might think.
‐‐ Mark Salling
Hollywood is a special place; a place filled with creative geniuses - actors, screenwriters, directors, sound engineers, computer graphics specialists, lighting experts and so on. Working together, great art happens. But in the end, all artists depend on diverse audiences who can enjoy, be inspired by and support their work.
‐‐ Ryan Kavanaugh
Hollywood is a strange place.
‐‐ Thomas Gibson
Hollywood is a strange place if you're in trouble. Everybody thinks it's contagious.
‐‐ Judy Garland
Hollywood is a strange, strange thing. I feel like I've been invited to a very exclusive ball and I'm just trying to make nice with everybody and hope that if they kick me out they'll at least give me a ride home.
‐‐ Darren Criss
Hollywood is a suction for your confidence or your faith or your togetherness. Just walking on the street you can feel it.
‐‐ Robin Wright
Hollywood is a town; it's not a medium. And cinema is a medium you can practice anywhere.
‐‐ Frank Miller
Hollywood is a very hard place to be in. It really is.
‐‐ Amber Riley
Hollywood is a very inspiring place.
‐‐ Donatella Versace
Hollywood is a very interesting place to deal with. And having been a theatre person, I was quite surprised by the slipperiness of some people in Holly-weird. There was a part of me that just said, 'If this is the way the game is played, I'm not sure I want to play it.'
‐‐ Joyce DeWitt
Hollywood is a very old and very structured situation. There's still a lot of old boys at the top who have the money.
‐‐ Gillian Armstrong
Hollywood is a very small world; the people who matter matter, and the people who don't matter are just like nothing.
‐‐ Helen Mirren
Hollywood is a very strong machine that needs, and in... especially with female actors, fresh flesh. It's that cruel. But that's the way it is.
‐‐ Antonio Banderas
Hollywood is a very volatile place where artists come in, and they essentially say they want to belong. It's incredibly vulnerable to be an actor and also get criticism at a young age when you're formulating who you are. We've seen a lot of people fall victim to that, and it's very unfortunate.
‐‐ Leonardo DiCaprio
Hollywood is a wonderful machine for making big movies. In France, we make smaller and more personal films, but if things keep changing, this will disappear. The industry in Italy is practically gone. Cinecitta now is used mostly by filmmakers from others places, like Martin Scorsese.
‐‐ Ludivine Sagnier
Hollywood is a world all its own.
‐‐ Moira Kelly
