I had some connections from the newspapers that I did work with up there, so there was a newspaper publisher in Hollywood, and they promised me work and so on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I worked for a publishing company in Hollywood.
But I thought, I've just got to check out Hollywood, so I sent out pictures and resumes.
But I did an awful lot of work in Hollywood, and in New York for that matter.
In Hollywood, they say good news finds you.
I wasn't making any money, but I didn't feel unsuccessful because of that. You can do that in New York but not in Hollywood. In Hollywood, it is how much money you make.
I've never really had a relationship with Hollywood. I've never had a desire to work there.
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.
I was raised in Hollywood and knew, from as early as grammar school, classmates who were in the business.
I pursued a theatre career, and Hollywood came calling.
I never really worked in Hollywood. Some American producers came to Europe to shoot films with me, so it's a different situation... It was not my aim.
