I've chosen not to live in Hollywood, and instead I live in Brooklyn, New York. It's how I like to live. I'd rather hang out with my kids and family when I'm not working. Going to premieres is not my idea of a fun night out.
~By Jennifer Connelly ~
Generally I don't like doing remakes, but I think that's more in the cynical world of Hollywood where normally remakes are purely for commercial reasons.
~By Gerard Butler ~
I still don't consider myself as going Hollywood. I did a movie because the opportunity presented itself and it was fun. When everything stops being fun, I'll go onto something else.

When it comes to turning out movies, I'm for Hollywood.
~By Jeffrey Hunter ~
National film industries tend to move in cycles. In Australia right now, we're on a high, a feeling of potential, which as yet shows no sign of flagging. But the word "industry" is misleading. A small national cinema has no industry in the Hollywood sense.
~By Peter Weir ~
There's not really much destruction in New York besides the weather and it's a natural force so it's not like any destruction. But LA gets leveled (laughs). That's my comment to Hollywood.
~By Roland Emmerich ~
There are thousands of directors in Hollywood.
~By Penelope Spheeris ~
I am not successful, in terms of Hollywood.

~By Julie Burchill ~
Tarantino's stuff in its inception was all about finding a way for him to break into Hollywood.
~By Ryan Phillippe ~
The whole idea of doing the Hollywood thing never even occurred to me. When you grow up on the East coast, Hollywood seems like this fantasy land and you don't think that people can actually make a living there.
~By David Steinberg ~
I was bargaining for time away from Hollywood, and Columbia was bargaining for money. I got what I wanted and they got what they wanted. They knew I was so anxious to do Born Yesterday that I'd have done it for a dollar. They gave me the next best thing.
~By Judy Holliday ~
Do you know how many plastic surgeries are done to the actors and actresses in Hollywood?

~By Perry Como ~
You know, I had my mother and my father convincing me that he would be going back to Hollywood and he'd be back with the actresses and dating them and that he wasn't serious about me at all. So I had him saying one thing to me and my parents telling me something else.
~By Priscilla Presley ~

That's the biggest rule in Hollywood: Don't spend your own money.
~By Pauly Shore ~
The idea of making pictures abroad is exciting when you're in Hollywood and have never worked in foreign countries. You think you'll get to see the sights and have all the fun that goes with traveling. Actually, you spend so much time on the job that you don't do much else.
~By Jeffrey Hunter ~
I live on this nice three acres in Hollywood.
~By Penelope Spheeris ~
Many other movies, but for me The Professionals is the best I did in Hollywood.

~By Rachel Weisz ~

My departure from Hollywood was described as a walk-out. No one understood that I was cracking up.
~By Gene Tierney ~
I'm the most insecure guy in Hollywood. If you had it good all your life, you figure it can't ever get bad, but when you had it bad, you wonder how long a thing like this will last.
~By Alan Ladd ~
And I think I have a perspective about Hollywood that you don't see very often in the press.
~By Patricia Heaton ~

~By Jamie Lee Curtis ~
So, no, I'm not trying to crack into Hollywood, although I'll make films there if they're good scripts.
~By Ewan McGregor ~
Are we changing the idea of what beauty is? Let's hope so. I'm not the typical Hollywood beauty. Let's hope we're looking at the insides of people a little more.
~By Anne Heche ~
I never took to Hollywood.
~By Kathleen Turner ~
Hollywood is a place where the stars twinkle until they wrinkle.

~By Rider Strong ~
I'm fascinated by how Hollywood has changed since I started. Today it's about immediate delivery. There's less risk and less art.

~By Christopher Dawson ~
I had some connections from the newspapers that I did work with up there, so there was a newspaper publisher in Hollywood, and they promised me work and so on.

If God doesn't destroy Hollywood Boulevard, he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.
~By Jay Leno ~
Hollywood is just like high school. The popular people only like the other popular people. And the thing is, some people aren't nice - or they're nice, but only to your face, not elsewhere.
~By Amanda Seyfried ~
One says also, it is one of the most faithful men in Hollywood, and makes again more interesting it equal.
