Hollywood is the backdrop of my family, and I know that the movie business is incredibly cruel as you get older.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As much as my parents are part of Hollywood, I have no recollection of them giving me advice about it.
My mother thought Hollywood was a den of iniquity, and people came to terrible bad ends there.
Sometimes film is just the family business. Some families are generations of carpenters or farmers, or they make clothes, or they're all lawyers. I'm in the family business.
Hollywood can be a very stinging town. They say it's a forgiving business. It's not that forgiving.
Hollywood was a detour, although my mother was an aristocrat from Tokyo who ran away to join the theatre, so acting is in my genes.
This is my one beef with Hollywood: It's great for movie sales, but they've created this fiction for us that, when you have a hard thing in your life, it's going to get fixed, and then your life will be awesome! Forever!
There are some kids I grew up with whose parents are in the industry, but my friends that I hang out with day-to-day aren't Hollywood.
Hollywood has been an enormous part of my life, as I know it has been for countless fans all over the world.
Hollywood is what you make it; you have to choose company with care because you become what they are.
The film industry is a lovely family and I respect it.
