I'm an actress, I live in L.A., I work in Hollywood. But I've learned that if you're too skinny, they'll say something about it. If you're not skinny enough, they'll say something about it. I just try to feel good in my own skin as much as I can. (Jennifer Love Hewitt)
Traditionally there's this barrier between the people who make movies and the people who watch them, and I think it sucks. Making Hollywood this castle on a hill and crowning actors the "Stars" might have been exciting and even brought people together last century, but now it's grown kind of disgusting in its excesses and it's no longer bringing people together-it's keeping people apart. It always turns my stomach a little when, because I'm in movies and on TV, people sometimes treat me as if I'm somehow different from, even above, a normal person. But the emails, posts, and comments I've been trading recently with people through those aforementioned sites cause me no nausea; they inspire me. There's no nasty status predicated on "Fame" or "Fortune." View quote
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb! View quote
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
If the goal is to get the best artists, actors, and filmmakers in the world to create the best movies, Hollywood does a decent job. And I think no one would disagree with me that it also makes a ton of bad movies and employs a bunch of hacks. View quote
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I didn't want to just work within Hollywood when I started a production company. I wanted to be able to collaborate with great artists from all over the world. View quote
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
I think, honestly, that the word 'indie' is a false gimmick. 'Independent' used to mean a movie that was financed outside corporate Hollywood, but a lot of what gets called independent these days is totally produced within that system. And there's nothing wrong with that. View quote
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
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! View quote
Kate Beckinsale
I dropped out of Oxford, and now I only speak Russian with the woman who gives me a bikini wax. See what Hollywood does to you? View quote
Kate Beckinsale
That's one thing I like about Hollywood. The writer is there revealed in his ultimate corruption. He asks no praise, because his praise comes to him in the form of a salary check. In Hollywood the average writer is not young, not honest, not brave, and a bit overdressed. But he is darn good company, which book writers as a rule are not. He is better than what he writes. Most book writers are not as good. View quote
Raymond Chandler
The motion picture made in Hollywood, if it is to create art at all, must do so within such strangling limitations of subject and treatment that it is a blind wonder it ever achieves any distinction beyond the purely mechanical slickness of a glass and chromium bathroom. View quote
Raymond Chandler
I believe that a writer learns from every story he writes, and when you try different things, you learn different lessons. Working with other writers, as in Hollywood or in a shared world series, will also strengthen your skills, by exposing you to new ways of seeing the work, and different approaches to certain creative challenges. (George R. R. Martin)
I worked out of Hollywood for 10 years and I had my heart broken half a dozen times, so I know all the things that can go wrong. View quote
George R. R. Martin
I've been many kinds of writers in my career: novelist; tele-playwright; short story writer. As a high-school student, I wrote amateur pieces for fanzines, and I've written for Hollywood. View quote
George R. R. Martin
I have done a lot of work in Hollywood myself. I worked in television for roughly 10 years, from the mid-'80s to mid-'90s. And I was on staff at a couple of shows. I did some feature films, including originals and adaptations. View quote
George R. R. Martin
Hollywood is great for entertaining people, it's a wonderful business but it's make-believe, you must remember that. That's one of the most important things to remember and the distinction in your own life, otherwise people get lost in their own fame, and it makes them unhappy. View quote
Dolph Lundgren
I think if I had come out of drama school and been an instant Hollywood superstar, I would be taking long, leisurely holidays. View quote
Richard Armitage
I try to always step up to the plate, be professional, be good at what I'm doing and deliver on the character. In Hollywood, what more can you ask for. You want a consummate professional. View quote
Martin Lawrence
I have this theory that people in Hollywood don't read. They read 'Vanity Fair' and then consider themselves terribly well read. I think I can basically write about anybody without getting caught. View quote
Jackie Collins
People are intrigued by fame, power and wealth and I think Hollywood is the only place where you get all three together. View quote
Jackie Collins
My efforts with Hollywood are like things written in water. View quote
Anne Rice
Hollywood is great. I also think it's stupid and small-minded and shortsighted. (David Fincher)
I am so stereotyped into being this Hollywood girl. View quote
Kim Kardashian
Living in Hollywood, it's easy to have someone flatter you. That doesn't help me. View quote
Marilyn Manson
Never, ever, have I felt really accepted in Hollywood. View quote
Sally Field
Hollywood is all made up, anyway. Especially the stories and angles that people want to pin on you. View quote
Nick Nolte
