Most of the stories I read are about my Hollywood pedigree.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As much as my parents are part of Hollywood, I have no recollection of them giving me advice about it.
I think Hollywood is so driven by money, the people who are making the decisions are not necessarily reflective of the melting pot, so what stories are you going to want to tell? You're going to want to tell stories about yourself.
Hollywood is all made up, anyway. Especially the stories and angles that people want to pin on you.
I love biographies. I'm especially into stuff about Hollywood in the '40s and '50s. I find it fascinating and terrifying.
My life in Hollywood surrounded by celebrities became a point of view for me - sports, fashion, music, film, arts, and politics as a media play.
I feel like there's something interesting to learn from anyone's story, no matter their place in society. I think we've gotten really far away from that - we're in such a celebrity-obsessed culture.
Unfortunately, all the cliches we see about Hollywood are true.
We all tell our own stories the way we live our lives. My story is: Life is too short to not believe in fresh voices. I don't have Hollywood stars. I have great American artists.
Hollywood called just as I crested thirty. My novels did not and still do not interest them, but my writing ability did.
I've written a book; I've become a better husband and father because I'm home every day. My connection to the Hollywood world has only been through Facebook.
