Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for kiss, and fifty cents for your soul.
You can take all the sincerity in Hollywood, place it in the navel of a fruit fly and still have room enough for three caraway seeds and a producer’s heart.
FRED ALLEN, John Robert Colombo's Popcorn in Paradise
Isn’t Hollywood a dump—in the human sense of the word. A hideous town, pointed up by the insulting gardens of its rich, full of the human spirit at a new low of debasement.
F. SCOTT FITZGERALD, letter, Jul. 29, 1940
Hollywood isn't your cesspool, America. It's your mirror.
BILL MAHER, Real Time with Bill Maher, Feb. 25, 2005
I love Los Angeles. I love Hollywood. They're beautiful. Everybody's plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic.
ANDY WARHOL, The Mammoth Book of Zingers, Quips, and One-Liners
I think there is a predisposition among Christians that Hollywood is anti-Jesus or anti-Christianity. I was warned I'd have to fight to maintain the freedom to express my beliefs. It's an unfair stereotype, and so far that's been the farthest from the truth. While everyone I work with may not share my beliefs, I have been surrounded by nothing but support.
CLAY AIKEN, Today's Christian Magazine, Nov/Dec. 2005
Hollywood didn't kill Marilyn Monroe, it's the Marilyn Monroes who are killing Hollywood.
BILLY WILDER, Gene Shalit's Great Hollywood Wit
Suicide is much easier and more acceptable in Hollywood than growing old gracefully.
JULIE BURCHILL, Girls on Film
I believe that God felt sorry for actors so he created Hollywood to give them a place in the sun and a swimming pool. The price they had to pay was to surrender their talent.
SIR CEDRIC HARDWICKE, A Victorian in Orbit
In Hollywood, the women are all peaches. It makes one long for an apple occasionally.
W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM, Gene Shalit's Great Hollywood Wit
Hollywood is a place where people from Iowa mistake each other for movie stars.
FRED ALLEN, Dick Enberg's Humorous Quotes for All Occasions
Failure is regarded in Hollywood as practically a contagious disease; people will literally cross the road to avoid someone who is tainted with it.
BARRY NORMAN, The Film Greats
In Hollywood the man who cleans your pool is an actor. The man who sells you your copy of Variety is an actor. I don't think there's a real person left in the place.
NEIL GAIMAN, Signal to Noise
Today, the only thing Hollywood swears by is space adventures because that's what goes over well. For my part, I trust my instinct and I make the films I believe in. If the public follows me, that's wonderful. If it doesn't follow, "c'est la vie."
CLINT EASTWOOD, Clint Eastwood: Interviews
In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo.
The way to be successful in Hollywood is to be as obnoxious as the next guy.
SYLVESTER STALLONE, Gene Shalit's Great Hollywood Wit
Everybody steals from everybody, that's Hollywood.
Hollywood is a place that attracts people with massive holes in their souls.
JULIA PHILLIPS, London Times, Apr. 3, 1991
Hollywood has always been a cage ... a cage to catch our dreams.
JOHN HUSTON, London Times, Dec. 27, 1987
There's nothing the matter with Hollywood that a good earthquake couldn't cure.
MOSS HART, The Mammoth Book of Zingers, Quips, and One-Liners
