Hollywood don't always pay a lot of money. Because we're English they think we're cheap!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We all respect sincerity in our friends and acquaintances, but Hollywood is willing to pay for it.
For the most part, Hollywood is very transactional. People want to make movies and television shows.
They spend an awful lot of money on I-don't-know-what in Hollywood movies; I certainly didn't get any of it. But they sure do love spending money.
I don't know why British actors are getting big parts in American TV shows. Maybe it's because we're cheap.
Hollywood is strange in and of itself. People dress up and pretend to be other people, and you can either make millions of dollars, or no money. It's odd.
Screenplays are the currency of Hollywood.
I think it's really odd, too, that the public is so privy to how much money the actors make and what movies cost. It seems to me to be beside the point. When I go to a movie I really don't want to think about the money. I want to see the story.
Most actors are not rich - they are very poor indeed. What keeps them going is that they just love the job.
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.
Movies are an expensive business.
