hollywood

My dad is a motorcycle guy, not some Hollywood dude.

In Hollywood, brides keep the bouquets and throw away the groom.

I had a kind of romantic notion about being a Hollywood Errol Flynn type.

In the movies, God is an actor just like everyone else.

There's an old joke that politics is Hollywood for ugly people. An awful lot of the press coverage about Washington reads like coverage of Hollywood. Madonna is having some spat with Sean Penn. Who cares? And who cares which politician is mad at that politician?

Hollywood needs to recognise all shades of African American beauty.

It was the only ambition I ever had - not to be a dancer or Hollywood movie star, but to be a housewife in a good marriage.

In Hollywood a marriage is a success if it outlasts milk.

Here in Hollywood you can actually get a marriage license printed on an Etch-A-Sketch.

It's aggravating that Hollywood has never gotten credit for the role it played in promoting modern design.

Cult movies are basically movies Hollywood missed the first time - that they should have gotten - and then the fans got it and made it successful.

The Hollywood movies are more like novels, and the kinds of films I make are more like poems.

Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!

I came to the plain fields of Ohio with pictures painted by Hollywood movies and the works of Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller. None of them had much to say, if at all, about Dayton, Ohio.

I was never that into the movies. Never. Even as a youngster. I became interested in movie music only because of the studio orchestras in Hollywood.

I think they built Hollywood on the West Coast because they were always dreaming of a New World. When they arrived here, the only way to keep dreaming was to make movies. Film was the fourth dimension.

I like stories that grow, that have unpredictable layers. As opposed to Hollywood movies that start out with a lot of shock and noise and peter out into an unconvincing cliche.

I watch an awful lot of old Hollywood movies - I'll devour anything with Bette Davis or Joan Crawford. My absolute favourite is 'Sunset Boulevard' starring Gloria Swanson.
