A lot of times in Hollywood you're as good as your last job.

I never really worked in Hollywood. Some American producers came to Europe to shoot films with me, so it's a different situation... It was not my aim.

I'd been in Hollywood for five years before I started writing 'The Guild.' I worked enough to pay all my bills. So I was very lucky in that respect. Most people don't make a living acting.

I've never really had a relationship with Hollywood. I've never had a desire to work there.

I think the hardest thing about being an actor is between jobs when you don't know and wondering if you'll ever work again. It's kind of a crazy business.

I've had no helping hand in Hollywood. But in general, I've found that when it comes to getting jobs, what's meant for you can't pass you by.

I think when I started acting, the whole time I was working towards one day coming to America. Hollywood, in particular, is seen to be the center of this industry, and I was just waiting for the right time to come.

It's such a small industry here you inevitably end up working with the same people over and over again. There are only so many actors to go around, which is good for us.

I've got a green card, so I can work there any time, but I hate reading about actors going to America, because it's not like that anymore.

But I did an awful lot of work in Hollywood, and in New York for that matter.
