I tell you, the paparazzi would not be sitting outside if they realized I was the most boring person in Hollywood.
What I like about Hollywood is that one can get along by knowing two words of English -- SWELL and LOUSY.
I still pinch myself that I ended up in Hollywood. And I am still surprised at the fans.
I don't necessarily need Hollywood.
I wonder what it's like out there?
Hollywood is wonderful, but it does eat its young.
I was looking for projects, as you always are, and I read this scene . . . and I'm in the Hollywood Hills. So I thought, 'This is interesting.' You have this setup that seems to be based in some reality and you can only wonder where Black's going to go with this.
It takes a week to do a sitcom in Hollywood. I do a show a day in my studio, three or four shows a week.
I don't do divas. I don't do entourages. I don't do the Hollywood crap.
My brother and I moved out to Hollywood initially to be a band, and where we lived, there was crime all over with my brother and I being the victims sometimes.
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.
So much of what you see now in Hollywood is written and directed by committee, and you can see it.
Hollywood ... the most sensational merry-go-around ever built.
There is a lot that I will not do in Hollywood.
One of the things you have to understand with The Room, I never approached a studio to produce, because I know no one in Hollywood will produce this. I came to Hollywood and I said "I will produce this movie the way I want it."
Temptation is impossible for me to resist Come on. This is Hollywood. It's in the job description.
I have not walked away from Hollywood. I'm walking away from the way I personally did business in Hollywood. The budget of whatever movie I do needs to be efficient; it needs to consider what kind of resources we're using and how to be as responsible as possible.
Why westerns get segregated into a genre in Hollywood, I don't know... It's just good entertainment.
I always wanted to do a Hollywood story. The thing about actors, though, is that they go through a streak of roles. The question is, what's in between?
The only person who has artistic control is the director, and 'director' is how you spell God in Hollywood.
I came in on the tail end of the old school of Hollywood
No matter what you go through with the business side or the Hollywood side at the end of it all, when you are there on the set, it is your thing. So it is your own private world and that's great. That's where you have that bubble to create something in.
For us it's always about making sure that there's substance, that things are well thought out, they're real, they're going to happen versus just haphazardly making Hollywood type announcements. So that's where we are there [on Comic-Con], just making sure that when we do something to say that it's something.
Nobody in Hollywood ever sets out to make a bad movie ever but about 99% of the time, that's what happens.
Being recognized by Hollywood is a dream true; it's really an amazing moment.
