I'm pretty unusual for an actress in Hollywood because I am totally unselfconscious about my body.
I approached work very seriously. I never went out. I couldn't fathom people who could go out to clubs... But I definitely went through a time where I was just terrified and exhausted and I didn't really understand. Hollywood... It just got to be too much for me.
I realized there was very little in Hollywood I would ever feel comfortable doing. If I kept one foot there and one foot in my Christianity, I would never grow.
One of the things that drives me crazy is the belief in Hollywood that bittorrent exists solely for stealing things.
Hollywood is yesterday, forever catching up tomorrow with what's happening today.
In the evening, since I have a lot of friends in theater, we might take in a Deaf West production in North Hollywood, or, since I'm a member of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, they have screenings that are really great.
Washington D.C. politics is like Hollywood for ugly people.
Through failure, I found different ways to reverse my problems and get into the mainstream of Hollywood.
And one thing Hollywood does well is sequels.
It devastates me now that I have been reduced to a Hollywood statistic - another joke marriage.
Hollywood life is never true. Ever.
The one thing you can count on in Hollywood - across the board - is cowardice.
I hate a man who always says yes to me. When I say no I like a man who also says no.
Why did Erich von Stronheim leave Germany? Why did Hitchcock leave England? If you were a director you'd like to work in Hollywood too. Now go ahead and ask me if I'm still Polish. You people keep asking me this question. You want Polish artists to make it in the world, but when they do, you accuse them of treason.
I grew up in a Hollywood family with money, so money is not the reason I make music. I'm as Hollywood as it gets. Not internally but externally - that's my bloodline.
Look, Hollywood's a mecca, but it's not the final answer. You pick up a camera anyplace in the world, you can make a movie.
You know, when you're an actor, you want to go to Hollywood. When you're a musician, you want to go to Nashville.
Hollywood is a narcotic, not a stimulant. It wants to sell you something. Literature wants to tell you something.
I don't take Hollywood too seriously. I have kids that don't give a damn about what I'm shooting, they just want dinner. So that keeps me grounded.
There is a perversion, much practised in Hollywood movies, that might be called sado-paternalism, whereby a surrogate father treats a gifted but difficult pupil with derision and constant punishment. The aim is to bring out the best in the victim and to make him into a he-man or...a he-woman.
Everybody told me to stay in Hollywood. This was the place they said I could have a big career. What they failed to mention was that no one would quite know what to do with me.
I arrived in Hollywood and lived much of my life in America, but the fans did not really know me.
That's the biggest rule in Hollywood: Don't spend your own money.
Hollywood doesn't even have respect for itself. Hollywood lies to itself.
A lot of Hollywood couples get married young and wind up growing out of their relationship.
