If my books had been any worse, I should not have been invited to Hollywood, and if they had been any better, I should not have come.
Raymond Chandler

It'd be like what would happen if Hollywood took over porno: 'If we keep their clothes on and they didn't have sex, we'd be able to sell it to a lot more people'.
Rob Zombie

If only those who dream about Hollywood knew how difficult it all is.
Greta Garbo

New York's like a boxing match. In Hollywood, it's like a Fellini movie or something.
John Cusack

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.
Pauly Shore

That's the biggest rule in Hollywood: Don't spend your own money.
Pauly Shore

I think all women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. That's what our purpose is in this business. You're merchandised, you're a product. You're sold and it's based on sex. But that's okay. I think women should be empowered by that, not degraded.
Megan Fox

In Hollywood, all marriages are happy. It's trying to live together afterwards that causes the problems.
Shelley Winters

I have this theory that people in Hollywood don't read. They read 'Vanity Fair' and then consider themselves terribly well read. I think I can basically write about anybody without getting caught.
Jackie Collins

People are intrigued by fame, power and wealth and I think Hollywood is the only place where you get all three together.
Jackie Collins

I arrived in Hollywood without having my nose fixed, my teeth capped, or my name changed. That is very gratifying to me.
Barbra Streisand

On a scale of the United States, the Hollywood influence on what comes out, that's not the majority views of across the country. What we read in Us Weekly or People magazine, or Entertainment Tonight, it's not what the majority of the country is thinking.
Kid Rock

Hollywood people are filled with guilt: white guilt, liberal guilt, money guilt. They feel bad that they're so rich, they feel they don't work that much for all that money - and they don't, for the amount of money they make.
Drew Carey

Everybody in Hollywood loves symbolic gestures.

This summer, I'll be bringing out a mystery that involves a young lawyer and a court scene the likes of which I don't think you've ever seen. Hollywood said this is James Patterson meets John Grisham.
James Patterson

Every country gets the circus it deserves. Spain gets bullfights. Italy gets the Catholic Church. America gets Hollywood.
Erica Jong

Where is Hollywood located? Chiefly between the ears. In that part of the American brain lately vacated by God.
Erica Jong

One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding?
James Caan

There are a lot of guys in Hollywood who clap you on the back just a little too hard.
James Caan

The world changed. Hollywood changed. I think we've lost something, and we don't know how to get it back.
Roy Rogers
