Sometimes Hollywood manages to knock a movie in its teeth so hard that it never manages to get back up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One day, you're a nobody, and the next, you're in a movie that everybody is talking about. But Hollywood has a way of knocking you back down to Earth.
The problem with most Hollywood movies is they don't give the director enough control.
Nobody in Hollywood ever sets out to make a bad movie ever but about 99% of the time, that's what happens.
No matter how successful you get in Hollywood, you cannot rest. Your new movie doesn't open well; they're looking for the next person to replace you; it's always something. You never have true peace.
I think what Hollywood has done for so long, is make movies for themselves.
Fifty-million-dollar movies gobble up the medium movies. A lot of people aren't working in Hollywood because of this.
Films are artifice. We're telling stories on film. At the same time, when it works, there is a real tough immediacy and spontaneity to it, and a punch.
People don't step outside themselves and make the film they want to make, because they're afraid of the reaction. But once you get that reaction and have lived through it, there's nothing they can do to get you down.
Hollywood is a very strong machine that needs, and in... especially with female actors, fresh flesh. It's that cruel. But that's the way it is.
The trouble with Hollywood films is that they always have a pleasant ending.
