Pastoral Resources

I would rather have gotten married than have a Hollywood contract.

A lot of people got lost in Hollywood while trying to become a star. They lost themselves.

Hollywood views regular people as children, and they think they're the smart ones who need to tell the idiots out there how to be.

Mostly I do films that mainstream Hollywood wouldn't touch.

Training Day was such a Hollywood movie; I didn't like it.

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.

Hollywood films have become a cesspool of formula and it's up to us to try to change it... I feel like a preacher! But it's really true. I feel personally responsible for the future of American cinema. Me personally.

Hollywood is a suction for your confidence or your faith or your togetherness. Just walking on the street you can feel it.

I am not successful, in terms of Hollywood.

I've always wanted to work with Blair, and finally the timing was right. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. I think he's a hugely underrated actor in Hollywood.

Corporate Hollywood thinks I'm a geek to go back and do theater. They don't understand why I don't want to be a movie star, why I'm not pursuing Mel Gibson's roles.

Tarantino's stuff in its inception was all about finding a way for him to break into Hollywood.

Hollywood is a place that attracts people with massive holes in their souls.

I personally have never made a movie in Hollywood, because I don't want to get up in my own bed and then go to the movie set, and then come home at night to my real life.

But, I've made films in Japan, in Yugoslavia, all over Europe, all over the United States, Mexico, but not Hollywood.

I sure lost my musical direction in Hollywood. My songs were the same conveyer belt mass production, just like most of my movies were.

Later on they send me to Hollywood. To make movies. It was all new to me. I was only 21 years old.

You know, I had my mother and my father convincing me that he would be going back to Hollywood and he'd be back with the actresses and dating them and that he wasn't serious about me at all. So I had him saying one thing to me and my parents telling me something else.

I don't want to be the Hollywood girl... I'm Southern and old-fashioned.

It doesn't matter that the way of life shown by Hollywood was phony. It helped you hope.
