Hollywood is a sewer with service from the Ritz Carlton.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Hollywood is a cross between a health farm, a recreation center and an insane asylum. It's a company town, and I happen to like the company!
North Hollywood isn't actually Hollywood, it's in the San Fernando Valley... it's not the most glamorous part of L.A.
Hollywood is a dirty temptress that has stolen my wallet way too many times. It's a great town, but at the same time, it's a hustle.
I don't think there's a back lot here in Hollywood anymore that has those streets, like a French Quarter.
Hollywood can be a very stinging town. They say it's a forgiving business. It's not that forgiving.
I worked in this bar called the Raincheck Room in the '60s; it used to be over on Santa Monica Boulevard, and, y'know, it was a pretty hip place. Lots of actors hung out there.
I don't really know anything about the movie business, even though I've lived in Los Angeles my whole life - somehow I've never bumped into it.
Hollywood is an extraordinary kind of temporary place.
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.
Hollywood is like Picasso's bathroom.
