Class is often invisible in America in the movies, and usually not the subject of the film.

Hollywood is a very strong machine that needs, and in... especially with female actors, fresh flesh. It's that cruel. But that's the way it is.

You can think of Hollywood as high school. TV actors are freshmen, comedy actors are maybe juniors, and dramatic actors - they're the cool seniors.

Hollywood is like a really sad, grown up version of high school where people get labeled as 'cool,' 'not cool,' 'jock,' 'bombshell,' 'quirky'... it's like a caste system. You're either in, or you're out.

I know that people get cast based on how they look in Hollywood.

Actors didn't use to be celebrities. A hundred years ago, they put the theaters next to the brothels.

There's more to life than being an actor in a Hollywood movie. I'm not going to adapt my life after that existence, where a lot of people do. And they get the publicist, and they get all that stuff, and it becomes them. I think it's a stupid way to live your life. A really dumb way to live your life.

All actors tend to be the same messed-up people.

I want people to know that movie stars live a normal, middle-class life.

I don't know what goes on in their heads out in Hollywood.
