I think being a foreigner and talking about Hollywood allowed me to use some cliches and some references that an American would maybe not use.
Sure, I watched a lot of Hollywood movies. Maybe I've seen more Hollywood movies than French movies
I looked at a lot of photos from Hollywood in the '20s, photographs of silent movies being filmed all over the world which are very specific and very evocative. Berenice, the lead actress, is my wife. She really followed the same path with me.
I don't find the life in Hollywood all that meaningful or inspiring.
Hollywood was never great for children.
I think writing is the most underrated thing in Hollywood.
Hollywood is a small, familial place. Everyone does business with everybody else. The same complications occur in investment banking.
Michael Moore became an industry hero and the most visible symbol of the Hollywood left.
Hollywood would much prefer the author be dead, so that they can buy the book and do what they want to do with it.
Let's be honest - look what Hollywood at 18 is.
I get it that remakes are a drag to hear about. I'm on the Internet all the time. I know what they say. Like there's no original ideas in Hollywood.
The people in Hollywood are fabulously stupid.
I've sold 11 of my books to Hollywood. There are all kinds of my books on shelves in Hollywood because the scripts didn't capture the characters.
When you're a young actor you ring your agent every evening. It's not like when you're in Hollywood where you do one picture a year. You just hope you get a day on television.
I don't consider myself a starlet or a Hollywood person.
Women are the last group anyone cares about in Hollywood.
I've been a writer for a long time but I kind of had to get rid of a lot of the things I learned in Hollywood but I kept some of them too. And things I kept were: don't be precious, kill your darlings is always good, give it dynamics - you don't want it to be all joyful, all sad.
In Hollywood they usually cast me as villains or priests
in Hollywood, everyone wants what someone else wants. It's like a law.
I do have complicated feelings about Hollywood, but I also have tremendously affectionate ones.
So much of Hollywood is about who the people you work with are.
I'm a producer... I am a Hollywood producer. That is so weird. And it's not lame. But it's just like, how did that happen?
I don't consider myself a Hollywood liberal, but I have my convictions and my beliefs.
If you're just an actor you're reactive. You're saying, "Well, I hope Hollywood gives me a role, or gives me a chance at a role," whereas if you can generate your own content, then you can go where you want to go.
I'm not comfortable with getting a job by being at the right Hollywood party; I'm not a terribly sociable creature.
