What I didn't know was that if I didn't stand with my back to the wall, Hollywood people would unscrew my ass and sell it down the river.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Hollywood is so governed by the ego, and I never wanted to fall into that trap.
Hollywood people want to build you up and make you famous only to knock you off you're the pedestal they built for you.
The whole idea of doing the Hollywood thing never even occurred to me. When you grow up on the East coast, Hollywood seems like this fantasy land and you don't think that people can actually make a living there.
The only reason I'm in Hollywood is that I don't have the moral courage to refuse the money.
Even if I get thrown out of Hollywood, I'll come back.
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.
Hollywood is a dirty temptress that has stolen my wallet way too many times. It's a great town, but at the same time, it's a hustle.
I am beginning to loathe & detest all that Hollywood represents.
The business of Hollywood, if you don't have other things going on, it will eat you up and spit you out... If you take what those people and that social structure think of you - if you let it govern your life - you might as well just kill yourself.
Hollywood can be a very stinging town. They say it's a forgiving business. It's not that forgiving.
