Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!

Few if any teenagers can relate to getting up for school and finding famous comics like Pryor and Williams hanging out in your living room after a hard night of partying. But that's Hollywood.

Hollywood, young or otherwise, is a very trend-driven town, and that can get a little out of hand at times. I just try to stay true to my own personal taste - incorporating my personality while not taking myself too seriously.

Hollywood looks to these young people now to say something to the world. I have nothing against that, I think a lot of people have things to say. But I think you need life experience.

Hollywood has an obligation to watch what they put out there. Kids do imitate what they see - good or bad.

Hollywood is not good when it comes to age.

Everyone should see Hollywood once, I think, through the eyes of a teenage girl who has just passed a screen test.

My mother thought Hollywood was a den of iniquity, and people came to terrible bad ends there.

We live in a youth-obsessed, aesthetically obsessed culture. That is no more evident than in the film industry.
