I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most writers flinch at the thought of being completely honest about themselves. So absolute honesty is what marks the true modern.
If everyone in the music business were brutally honest about what their intentions were then you could sort things out, but it's all smoke and mirrors.
I would like to think that I'm always honest with myself and others. I guess that's what makes me a half-decent actor.
There's been many times when a producer will say, 'I don't think you want to say that.' We were told we shouldn't be so brutally honest about songwriting or radio or the industry.
When a movie is called 'searingly honest,' it's almost invariably grim and demonstrates how bad things can get.
Honesty works against you in the entertainment field. I try to be a journalist and a documentarian, but that doesn't mean that people are going to embrace it at the moment. The point is I'm leaving the mark of my hysteria and the political hysteria, and that's it... I can only do what I do.
The entertainment industry is loaded with extraordinarily talented people. But the true, genuine originals, they're rare.
We have to be very careful about what we say out there to the masses in the entertainment industry because people are listening to every word, and they take it to heart.
Hollywood's a very weird place. I think there's less of everything except for attitude.
We in this entertainment industry try to act like we're so super powerful. we're not being honest, because we're human, and in our humanity there's a little fear.
