I'm not successful in Hollywood, and I probably would never be. I think Hollywood has such an interesting model for success, and it creates those successful people. I'm not in that chosen category, but what is successful for me is that, in spite of that, I've been able to work and do the things that I wrote down that I wanted to do and be.

People say I've gone against Hollywood, but I've tried to be independent within Hollywood, tried to be my own person.

I don't lead a Hollywood lifestyle.

I'm in Hollywood - I have no business not being in the movie industry.

Everyone in Hollywood who is successful becomes less successful at some point. I'm just trying to delay that fall for as long as I can.

In the United States, I am a great success, but I am not a celebrity.

Hollywood is not suited for me, and I am not suited for it.

Part of me wants nothing to do with any Hollywood. But another part of me wants to go there. I feel like I could be successful at it.

I studied really hard. But Hollywood never appreciated my talent.

I'm not trying to conquer Hollywood. I love my day job.
