Quote

Hollywood is the kind of place that takes what you do well in one thing and manufactures it so the joy can be taken out of it.

I learned Hollywood is a small community, and you really have to be a part of the community to get anything done. Unlike traditional industries, where you can do things from afar with phone calls and e-mail, this town is really about being social. Because that's how trust gets built.

Hollywood is kind of a bad world.

Hollywood doesn't even have respect for itself. Hollywood lies to itself.

Hollywood is the backdrop of my family, and I know that the movie business is incredibly cruel as you get older.

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.

I don't give a damn about Hollywood.

Hollywood is a small, familial place. Everyone does business with everybody else. The same complications occur in investment banking.

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.

Well, there's different shades of Hollywood, sure. I mean, I'm working in this business but I'm not Hollywood.
