~By Matthew Lawrence ~
There is a lot of strength and intelligence in Hollywood.
~By Fay Wray ~

~By Jeffrey Hunter ~
If a movie isn't a hit right out of the gate, they drop it. Which means that the whole mainstream Hollywood product has been skewed toward violence and vulgar teen comedy.

~By Esther Williams ~
Hollywood does not write parts for people like me, an elderly gentleman, and when they find out you're crippled, forget about it. No, I'll never work again.

~By Rick Moranis ~
This summer, I'll be bringing out a mystery that involves a young lawyer and a court scene the likes of which I don't think you've ever seen. Hollywood said this is James Patterson meets John Grisham.

My professional life in Hollywood has been filled with joy and laughter.
~By Carroll O'Connor ~

~By J. J. Johnson ~
If you go out to Hollywood you'll find a lot of fantastic plastic people there in the business and a lot of people in life generally. They find it so hard to be themselves that they have to be plastic.
~By Jimmy Cliff ~
The bottom line of Hollywood is money.
~By Victoria Jackson ~
All of us have read the stories about young people in Hollywood and all the challenges they have to confront there, and I think that artistically, I really didn't understand the commercial side of the film business, so I went back to a purely artistic setting.

~By Fred Allen ~
I'm thinking, this is Robert Redford. You know, he's won an Academy Award, he's talking to me about directing a movie he's in. So you just think that it's Hollywood stuff or whatever.
~By Barry Levinson ~
I began to feel that the drama of the truth that is in the moment and in the past is richer and more interesting than the drama of Hollywood movies. So I began looking at documentary films.

Hollywood held this double lure for me, tremendous sums of money for work that required no more effort than a game of pinochle.
~By Ben Hecht ~
I like being in movies that have a great story. I'm not so interested in being a Hollywood star. It's a job, you know. When you wake up at six in the morning every day for a week, it feels like hard work.
~By Kristen Stewart ~
Hollywood is kind of a bad world.
~By Mia Maestro ~
I bought a house in the Hollywood Hills and brought my grandmother from Harlem to live in it with me.

~By Julia Phillips ~
There couldn't have been a better Hollywood ending for us. It's beyond baseball. It's rooting for your family.
~By Jimmy Fallon ~
I think all women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. That's what our purpose is in this business. You're merchandised, you're a product. You're sold and it's based on sex. But that's okay. I think women should be empowered by that, not degraded.
~By Megan Fox ~
Hollywood always wanted me to be pretty, but I fought for realism.
~By Bette Davis ~
I was told once that I didn't play the Hollywood game, and that's why I wasn't a big star. What they meant when was that I don't go to parties, and when I go to an audition and I don't like the script, they know it.
~By Sherilyn Fenn ~
There's a real separation between actors and all the other functions of Hollywood. If you're an actor you're somehow not a member of the crew. You're somehow more special. I hate that.
~By Rider Strong ~
In Europe an actor is an artist. In Hollywood, if he isn't working, he's a bum.
~By Anthony Quinn ~

~By Peter Stone ~
How did I get to Hollywood? By train.
~By John Ford ~
The new artists coming through were very materialistic and Hollywood, not so engaged in communication.
~By Patti Smith ~

~By Adam Sandler ~

~By Wilson Mizner ~
But I thought, I've just got to check out Hollywood, so I sent out pictures and resumes.
~By Delta Burke ~
And the inner dynamics of Hollywood are like politics. Say you give a script to a group of executives - they all sit around, afraid to voice an opinion, saying nothing, waiting to know what the consensus is. Just like focus groups, opinion polls or a cabinet.
~By Joe Eszterhas ~
After working for years in Hollywood where the actors have taken over, it was a real relief to get down there and not only have some children, but also have some actors that had no attitude.
~By Phillip Noyce ~
Unfortunately my career began in Hollywood, doing a negative pickup for Universal pictures.

~By Tom Selleck ~
Acting coaches in Hollywood were always telling me to use my hands and body more. But that was never me. I just breathe and sometimes it doesn't look as if I'm doing that.
~By Perry Como ~
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.
~By William Petersen ~
We should never forget that Hollywood was built by Europeans, and the old Jewish boys from Eastern Europe.
~By Maximilian Schell ~
