Quote

Hollywood is an extraordinary kind of temporary place.

Hollywood is the kind of town that likes to make everything larger than life: movie premieres, aging actress' lips, and murders. Actors come from all over the world to find their sliver of fame on the street of L.A. Many stars rise, but many more fall.

Hollywood is a perpetual summerland, a temperate, godless yaw where the very word 'season' has been co-opted by television executives. There are few harbingers of winter here.

Hollywood is something else. It's such an exaggerated idea. The concept of what 'beautiful' really is is ludicrous.

Sometimes Hollywood is a small town on the West Coast of America at the furthest point from everywhere else, and that can make it a little provincial and insular.

Sometimes, I wonder where my place in this town called 'Hollywood' is - and that can give you a really dull headache.

Hollywood is a place where they place you under contract instead of under observation.

When you go off in the world and make your life, and you come back to your home town, and you find your old high-school friends driving in the same circles, doing the same things, that's what Hollywood's like. It's a little block, little town. It doesn't really grow or change.
