Hollywood is much more than America. Hollywood belongs to all of the planet.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Hollywood is a world all its own.
The problem in Hollywood is that they try to become the only kind of cinema in the world, okay? The imposition everywhere of a unique culture, which is Hollywood culture, and a unique way of life, which is the American way of life.
Hollywood has to be a better reflection of the world we live in.
We Americans have always considered Hollywood, at best, a sinkhole of depraved venality. And, of course, it is. It is not a protective monastery of aesthetic truth. It is a place where everything is incredibly expensive.
Hollywood doesn't even have respect for itself. Hollywood lies to itself.
Well, there's different shades of Hollywood, sure. I mean, I'm working in this business but I'm not Hollywood.
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.
Just as many people flee Hollywood as those who flock to it. Hollywood can be an acquired taste.
Hollywood is a peculiar beast - people in Hollywood are nuts.
I believe 'Hollywood' is more like middle America than many people imagine.
