Hollywood quotes by Anna Faris

Hollywood quotes by Danny McBride
There's the Hollywood sign; there's Griffith Observatory; there's the great, amazing Los Angeles Basin. It's 465 square miles of insanity and the best food on the planet. ~ Robert Crais
Hollywood quotes by Robert Crais
I'm sure those rumors are spread, but it's just ah - we're really good friend. We've been since day one in Hollywood. In class, we've been together in school. We've gotten really close, but I don't know about the more than friends stuff. ~ Scotty McCreery
Hollywood quotes by Scotty McCreery

Hollywood quotes by Annalee Newitz
Does Hollywood do movies about terrorism? Yeah. And why do they do that? Because it sells. ~ Faran Tahir
Hollywood quotes by Faran Tahir
The one thing that you simply have to remember all the time that you are there, is that Hollywood is an oriental city. As long as you do that you might survive. If you try to equate it with anything else you'll perish. ~ Olivia De Havilland
Hollywood quotes by Olivia De Havilland
Hollywood loves to typecast, and I guess they saw me as a violent guy. ~ Gene Hackman
Hollywood quotes by Gene Hackman
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
Hollywood quotes by James Patterson
All over the world there are a lot of distributors that have the equipment for 3D but they don't have the movies really. The only source of 3D movies is Hollywood. Only Hollywood sends the 3D movies. So it was an option. ~ Michel Hazanavicius
Hollywood quotes by Michel Hazanavicius
No-one gets beaten to death quite like Hilary Swank ~ Jimmy Fallon
Hollywood quotes by Jimmy Fallon
Thank God my life is normal. I work hard to make it normal. My husband and I don't want Hollywood drama. I go to the market and do the dishes. I'm not treated differently because I work on TV. ~ Alison Sweeney
Hollywood quotes by Alison Sweeney
Glasses are for the brave. I do not need to pretend that I am sighted. People who need glasses and don't wear them are slightly less treacherous than people who don't need them and do-like every shallow Hollywood star who wants to be taken seriously. ~ Greg Proops
Hollywood quotes by Greg Proops
Hollywood is a factory. You have to realize that you are working in a factory and you're part of the mechanism. If you break down, you'll be replaced. ~ Mel Gibson
Hollywood quotes by Mel Gibson
Unlike the hot line frequently depicted in Hollywood films, the new system didn't provide a special telephone for the president to use in an emergency. It relied on Teletype machines that could send text quickly and securely. Written statements were considered easier to translate, more deliberate, and less subject to misinterpretation than verbal ones. Every ~ Eric Schlosser
Hollywood quotes by Eric Schlosser
Hollywood has a history of raising expectations beyond Washington's reach, of appealing to the very American desire to mythologize political leaders, particularly the president. ~ Ron Fournier
Hollywood quotes by Ron Fournier
Fidel Castro becomes a Sex Symbol
"After entering Havana on January 8, 1959 as the conquering hero, women threw themselves at the normally quiet Fidel Castro. Much to his own surprise, he became a sex symbol and was tempted by the many bikini-clad young ladies at the as the conquering hero, women threw themselves at the normally quiet Fidel. Much to his own surprise, he became a sex symbol and was tempted by the many bikini-clad young ladies at the hotel pool of the Hotel Nacional de Cuba. Errol Flynn, the famous movie star and ladies' man of that era, met Castro and had a number of Hollywood beauties with him, expecting to make a movie in Havana. For the most part Fidel was preoccupied with the affairs of government, but he always made time for the chosen few. ~ Hank Bracker
Hollywood quotes by Hank Bracker
It's a great euphoria when you reach that writing zone. ~ Paul T. Scheuring
Hollywood quotes by Paul T. Scheuring
Every year you work in Hollywood takes a year off your soul. ~ Calista Flockhart
Hollywood quotes by Calista Flockhart
Dear Mr. Chance and Ms. Brattle. Sorry about the mess. Great bed. Loved it. As a matter of fact, loved the whole house. Actually, I tried to kill your kids when I found them here. Yeah, funny story. Maybe not funny, hah hah.'"
Astrid heard nervous laughter from the media people, or maybe just from the hotel staff who were hovering around the edges grabbing a glimpse of the Hollywood royalty.
"'Anyway, I missed and they got away. I don't know what will happen to Sanjit and that stick-up-his butt Choo and the rest, but whatever happens next, it's not on me. However . . .'"
Astrid took a dramatic pause.
"'However, the rest of what happened was on me. Me, Caine Soren. You'll probably be hearing a lot of crazy stories from kids. But what they didn't know was that it was all me. Me. Me me. See, I had a power I never told anyone about. I had the power to make people do bad things. Crimes and whatnot. Especially Diana, who never did anything wrong on her own, by her own will, I mean. She - and the rest of them - were under my control. The responsibility is on me. I confess. Haul me away, officers.'"
Astrid suddenly felt her throat tightening, although she'd read the letter many times already, and knew what it said. Rotten son of a . . . And then this.
Redemption. Not a bad concept.
Well, partial redemption.
"It's signed Caine Soren. And below that, 'King of the FAYZ.'"
It was a full confession. A lie: a blatant, not-very-convincing lie. Bu ~ Michael Grant
Hollywood quotes by Michael  Grant
It seems like every year Hollywood makes an attempt to retell the Manson story, and I just couldn't be less interested in it. It's not really our crowning achievement as a civilisation. I'm not saying it shouldn't be done, but it just bores me. ~ John Hawkes
Hollywood quotes by John Hawkes
To be honest, I miss the old Hollywood way of having some mystique about the star. ~ Nicole Scherzinger
Hollywood quotes by Nicole Scherzinger
The Hollywood image of the movie business is all about ambition and high achievers like James Cameron. But the British film industry is much more about men who wear cravats and work with model trains and hope another series of 'Thomas the Tank Engine' will be commissioned. ~ Peter Capaldi
Hollywood quotes by Peter Capaldi
That's one of the problems with Hollywood. It'll say 'policeman,' and an unless it says 'black policeman,' a lot of times you won't even get the opportunity to read for it, which is kind of crazy, but that's the way it is. ~ Meshach Taylor
Hollywood quotes by Meshach Taylor
I thought, 'Okay, what's going to be my edge, and how am I going to define what I'm doing differently?' Once I had that key idea of the software developer as an artist, once I had that idea, a whole bunch of other ideas flowed from that, because I realized that I need to go study the music industry, I need to study the book publishing and Hollywood and figure out how they do things, why they do them that way, and then I need to borrow, and rearrange, the things that they're doing to fit my industry so that I can invent and create this new industry. ~ Trip Hawkins
Hollywood quotes by Trip Hawkins
If people want to believe in Hollywood movies, let them believe in Hollywood movies. Being romantic is not a disease. ~ Ioana-Cristina Casapu
Hollywood quotes by Ioana-Cristina Casapu
I sort of became infatuated with soldiers. I got to know some of them and got a little perturbed with Hollywood making a spectacle out of them and making them look like they have screwed up somehow. ~ Channing Tatum
Hollywood quotes by Channing Tatum
You hear again and again that audiences want to see movies that are different, and critics say we make the same thing again and again in Hollywood, then you go and make something different, and you get kicked in the gut for it. ~ David Ayer
Hollywood quotes by David Ayer
Hollywood money isn't money. It's congealed snow, melts in your hand, and there you are. ~ Dorothy Parker
Hollywood quotes by Dorothy Parker
One of the common themes you will read in interview after interview is the call to keep fighting for your vision. This is a message to women directors, producers, writers - anyone who wants to work in the business. Your voice counts. Your vision matters. ~ Melissa Silverstein
Hollywood quotes by Melissa Silverstein
In 1972 Charlie Chaplin was allowed back to America to receive an honorary Oscar, 'for the incalculable he had on making motion pictures the art form of this century'. That's what the Academy was always for - to blur the equation enough so that profit and fame could be called art. ~ Edward Jay Epstein
Hollywood quotes by Edward Jay Epstein
I truly believe that all power corrupts. Such is probably the thinking behind every political film ever made in Hollywood. ~ Elia Kazan
Hollywood quotes by Elia Kazan
It's rare in Hollywood to get the chance to work on something that you actually care about. The tragedy of the place is all these talented people trying to get excited about stuff they themselves would only view at gunpoint. ~ Stephen Gaghan
Hollywood quotes by Stephen Gaghan
Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky. ~ Macaulay Culkin
Hollywood quotes by Macaulay Culkin
A generation before, it had been sagebrush and coyotes; a generation later, it was a burgeoning movie town. But for that brief idyllic time in 1910, Hollywood looked like the perfect place for a successful writer to settle down, build his dream house, and maybe do some gardening. ~ Kage Baker
Hollywood quotes by Kage Baker
It's a very odd thing with Hollywood, where you do stand-up, you're good at it, then they go, 'How would you like to be a horrible actor?' Then you say, 'All right, that sounds good. I'll do that.' ~ Norm MacDonald
Hollywood quotes by Norm MacDonald
There are no awards in Hollywood for being an idiot. ~ Burt Reynolds
Hollywood quotes by Burt Reynolds
One of the unexpected and wonderfully fair things I have learned in my career is that if Hollywood were filled just with perfect-looking people, then soap operas would be the most-watched things in the world. But they're not. Looks are great, but they're not compelling enough. I've noticed that successful actors with long careers are usually talented actors with charismatic screen presences, and all of them exude one thing: confidence. ~ Mindy Kaling
Hollywood quotes by Mindy Kaling
If California is a state of mind, Hollywood is where you take its temperature. There is a peculiar sense in which this city existing mainly on film and tape is our national capital, alas, and not just the capital of California. It's the place where our children learn how and what to dream and where everything happens just before, or just after, it happens to us. ~ Ross Macdonald
Hollywood quotes by Ross Macdonald
Acting for kids is like playing house, you know? But growing up in Hollywood, it just made it seem possible. ~ Jennifer Jason Leigh
Hollywood quotes by Jennifer Jason Leigh
What I would suggest to the young people is to not forget this and don't try to get assimilated into today's Hollywood style of movies because I don't think it's going to last long. ~ Vilmos Zsigmond
Hollywood quotes by Vilmos Zsigmond
As the captain, I was going to be having the dominant role in most of the episodes, and that was appealing. I wasn't interested in coming to Hollywood to sit around. ~ Patrick Stewart
Hollywood quotes by Patrick Stewart
The constructs of organized thought are all around us, the golden age will come when they are freed. ~ Tom Althouse
Hollywood quotes by Tom Althouse
And I wasn't crazy about Hollywood in those days. ~ Kitty Carlisle
Hollywood quotes by Kitty Carlisle
It's good to experience Hollywood in short bursts, I guess. Little snippets. I don't think I can handle being here all the time, it's pretty nutty. ~ Johnny Depp
Hollywood quotes by Johnny Depp
West Hollywood is predominantly gay, so every man that came into the grocery store was shopping for his boyfriend. ~ Jeri Ryan
Hollywood quotes by Jeri Ryan
Whether you're talking about the Egyptian pharaohs or Hollywood movie stars it all ends the same way. DEATH ~ Neal A. Yeager
Hollywood quotes by Neal A. Yeager
You read these stories of people who were in Hollywood in the late '60s. After they found out about the murders, everybody was like, "Have you met [Charles] Manson? Have you been to that ranch?" In some way, everybody felt connected, but what was it like for people who really were connected. ~ Karina Longworth
Hollywood quotes by Karina Longworth
When I first came to America, I went into William Morris Endeavor for a meeting and I was like, "Yeah, I'm from Australia and I do comedy." I think that one of the reasons they signed me is because I wasn't like any other girl. Maybe girls don't get encouraged. The ones who get encouraged to move to Hollywood are the prettiest ones in their hometown of Iowa, or something. Whereas for me, where I come from in the western suburbs of Sydney, no one ever thought professional actors would come from there. Even my own family was like, "No one would want you on a show." ~ Rebel Wilson
Hollywood quotes by Rebel Wilson
Tarantino's stuff in its inception was all about finding a way for him to break into Hollywood. ~ Ryan Phillippe
Hollywood quotes by Ryan Phillippe
This is a photograph of me as I wish I looked all the time. Then I might have a chance of getting in Hollywood. ~ Anne Frank
Hollywood quotes by Anne Frank
Hollywood shines by virtue of light within. ~ A.D. Posey
Hollywood quotes by A.D. Posey
It's lovely that the Hollywood stars are crossing over to Broadway ... There used to be such a dividing line in the country between Hollywood and the theatre and that's just melting away. It's just wonderful right now! ~ Julie Andrews
Hollywood quotes by Julie Andrews
You have to hold your teeth clamped around Hollywood to keep from chewing on stray blondes. ~ Raymond Chandler
Hollywood quotes by Raymond Chandler
Hollywood is owned by the Arabs. ~ Alex Jones
Hollywood quotes by Alex Jones
I never make a distinction between doing a film in Hollywood or doing a film independently. It's just the story. It's always the story for me. The constants are that it should challenge me and I shouldn't repeat myself. And the story should always be a story worth telling. ~ Cillian Murphy
Hollywood quotes by Cillian Murphy
There's nothing like walking onto a Hollywood sound stage. ~ Richard Jenkins
Hollywood quotes by Richard Jenkins
I don't get that many scripts. Back in Australia, I've pretty much done my own shows and really no work outside of that. It's only now that I'm starting to read some Hollywood film scripts, and I've read some really great ones. ~ Jason Gann
Hollywood quotes by Jason Gann
I got a brother who calls me Hollywood. Sisters kind of keep their distance. Even my mom is kind of like ahhh with me. Yeah dude, it really sucks. And I wish things were different. Unfortunately, they don't understand everything I go through on a day to day basis to be able to maintain what I'm doing. ~ Gabriel Iglesias
Hollywood quotes by Gabriel Iglesias
So much of what you see now in Hollywood is written and directed by committee, and you can see it. ~ Trey Parker
Hollywood quotes by Trey Parker
The trap is that you then just start doing stuff about Hollywood, which I don't really want to do. ~ Josh Schwartz
Hollywood quotes by Josh Schwartz
Working in Hollywood for the orchestra world is a very time consuming and laborious job. ~ John Williams
Hollywood quotes by John Williams
I do not make films which are prescriptive, and I do not make films that are conclusive. You do not walk out of my films with a clear feeling about what is right and wrong. They're ambivalent. You walk away with work to do. My films are a sort of investigation. They ask questions ... Sometimes I hear that some [Hollywood] studio is interested in me. Then they discover that this is the guy who works with no script, that there is no casting discussion, no interference, that I have the final cut, and that does it. ~ Mike Leigh
Hollywood quotes by Mike Leigh
On Hollywood turning its back on him: I wasn't in the club. You see, I'm not going to be a stroker. I never have been all my life. ~ Mickey Rooney
Hollywood quotes by Mickey Rooney
Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They're to promote each other's movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they'll go to see them. It's still the same. ~ Javier Bardem
Hollywood quotes by Javier Bardem
I think Hollywood is so driven by money, the people who are making the decisions are not necessarily reflective of the melting pot, so what stories are you going to want to tell? You're going to want to tell stories about yourself. ~ Sanaa Lathan
Hollywood quotes by Sanaa Lathan
I've dealt with Hollywood about having my work made into a film or cartoon but nothing came of it. That's not to say I wouldn't like to see something happen. ~ Gilbert Hernandez
Hollywood quotes by Gilbert Hernandez
I tell this joke about Barack Obama is the best communicator of our generation: The guy reads a teleprompter better than any Hollywood actor. John McCain, his opponent - Stevie Wonder reads a teleprompter better than John McCain. ~ Frank Luntz
Hollywood quotes by Frank Luntz
I didn't come to Hollywood. Hollywood came to me. A lot of people wish they could say the things I say. Everyone out here is so phony, it's sickening. ~ Mr. T
Hollywood quotes by Mr. T
I don't need a trailer; I don't need to have the luxuries of what is Hollywood, which is why I'm probably not so desperate to get there. ~ Vicky McClure
Hollywood quotes by Vicky McClure
I want to continue to make beautiful movies. The most important thing is to be a part of beautiful stories, that's all I want. So I don't care if it's a Hollywood movie or an independent movie or a Spanish or American movie. I care about telling stories. ~ Melanie Laurent
Hollywood quotes by Melanie Laurent
In Hollywood, we have some of the richest unemployed people in the world. They have sun tans. Some of them have chauffeurs in Rolls-Royces waiting outside. They have their golf clubs ready in the car. There is no law that says you cannot play golf while being unemployed. ~ Allan Sherman
Hollywood quotes by Allan Sherman
Screenwriting is a terrible way to make a living and I always try to talk anyone out of it. Until you sit in a story meeting with studio executives with no particular ability or actors who haven't even graduated high school telling you exactly how to change your script, you haven't experienced what it's really like to be a screenwriter in Hollywood. Also, unlike novelists and playwrights, you don't own the copyright on your original material. It hurts when you sell a project you love and then suddenly the project you really cared about will never see the light of day. ~ Amy Holden Jones
Hollywood quotes by Amy Holden Jones
Arbogast had then assembled a dream team of creative consultants and contractors to help make his bold claim a reality, luring some of the videogame industry's brightest stars away from their own companies and projects, with the sole promise of collaborating on his groundbreaking new MMOs. That was how gaming legends like Chris Roberts, Richard Garriott, Hidetaka Miyazaki, Gabe Newell, and Shigeru Miyamoto had all wound up as consultants on both Terra Firma and Armada - along with several big Hollywood filmmakers, including James Cameron, who had contributed to the EDA's realistic ship and mech designs, and Peter Jackson, whose Weta Workshop had rendered all of the in-game cinematics. ~ Ernest Cline
Hollywood quotes by Ernest Cline
You want to track Hollywood careers, look in the real estate section. You see a guy buy a house that costs $6 million, and you can literally start counting the days until he starts doing crappy movies. ~ Chris Rock
Hollywood quotes by Chris Rock
There was a period that black film had no chance of making it in Hollywood. So, people just made the made the statements that they wanted to make. Whether it was a science fiction film or whatever, b/c they were just making movie for themselves. Then there was a period where people were creating projects as their Hollywood audition 'pieces'. I feel that today we are moving back to the era where we all have our own voices. ~ Reginald Hudlin
Hollywood quotes by Reginald Hudlin
Many of us had this idea of doing independent film, of making personal, relevant films, as opposed to Hollywood fluff. I directed a few. ~ Robert Kane Pappas
Hollywood quotes by Robert Kane Pappas
My muses were all the incredible, iconic women of glamour in Hollywood that I have worked with over 15 years. Anjelica Huston, Michelle Pfeiffer, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lena Dunham, Viola Davis, Rihanna, Demi Moore ... ~ Zac Posen
Hollywood quotes by Zac Posen
It's a good time to be making movies, despite the cynicism people have about Hollywood. ~ Rob Morrow
Hollywood quotes by Rob Morrow
The bite of existence did not cut into one in Hollywood ... Life elsewhere was real and slippery and struggled in the arms like a big fish dying in air. ~ Mae West
Hollywood quotes by Mae West
I have a theory that most people in Hollywood are from Texas. ~ Emmanuelle Chriqui
Hollywood quotes by Emmanuelle Chriqui
Or we could change the definition in another way. We could remove the part of the definition that refers to "supernatural powers." Then sorcery and witchcraft would include beliefs that unknown persons harm others using techniques that cannot be demonstrated to be real or that are not observable. In the United States, Senator Joseph McCarthy played on people's fears in the 1950s by claiming that the government and Hollywood were filled with Communists dedicated to overturning all that Americans hold dear. In the 1980s and 1990s, various supremacists blamed certain political factions and minorities for social problems and what they believed to be the degeneration of their nation's values. Will there be other witch hunts in the twenty-first century? ~ James Peoples
Hollywood quotes by James Peoples
I'm in Hollywood - I have no business not being in the movie industry. ~ Ariel Pink
Hollywood quotes by Ariel Pink
Hollywood always likes to create a star. ~ Nicole Holofcener
Hollywood quotes by Nicole Holofcener
I live in Hollywood, California. It's absolutely nothing like Absaroka County, Wyoming. For me, it's a great escape and I really enjoy it. ~ Bailey Chase
Hollywood quotes by Bailey Chase
The Age of Adaline was very special because it marks for me the first male lead on a proper Hollywood production. ~ Michiel Huisman
Hollywood quotes by Michiel Huisman
Great men are not born great, they grow great . . . ~ Mario Puzo
Hollywood quotes by Mario Puzo
I grew up in this little farm town, and I've always dreamt of Hollywood and pop culture, and then I suddenly found myself plopped in the middle of it. ~ Ross Mathews
Hollywood quotes by Ross Mathews
Ever since there's been a Hollywood, they remake a movie every 20 years. ~ Julianne Moore
Hollywood quotes by Julianne Moore
Hollywood exists only for the B-movies. The best things are coming from Europe. ~ Gerard Depardieu
Hollywood quotes by Gerard Depardieu
Our family may seem extraordinary in some magazines or something, but at home it's not. We're really just a very loving family. We're very close, and we don't read magazines. We just kind of go to work and come home. We try to keep a sense of reality into their lives. What's truly real, not Hollywood real. ~ Angelina Jolie
Hollywood quotes by Angelina Jolie
I never thought Hollywood is the life I want to do. I thought acting is the life I want to do. ~ Shailene Woodley
Hollywood quotes by Shailene Woodley
But what I really like are old Hollywood movies. Very often I watch AMC. ~ Olivier Martinez
Hollywood quotes by Olivier Martinez
They say you can fool some of the people all of the time. Accordingly, I think we should concentrate on this group initially. We can move on to the people you can only fool some of the time at a later date if we deem it necessary. ~ Stephen Mitchell
Hollywood quotes by Stephen Mitchell
I love regal looks on the Oscars red carpet. I just love old-Hollywood glamour. I love hair pulled back off the face, beautiful makeup ... long sleeves are really elegant. The Oscars are not a place to be too flirty or fun or sexy. ~ Giuliana Rancic
Hollywood quotes by Giuliana Rancic
Here's the thing about Jews in Hollywood. Not to stereotype, but the Jews I know here are the funniest, most self-deprecating people I know. And it's rare to find a Jew that is actually offended by comedy about them. ~ Ben Feldman
Hollywood quotes by Ben Feldman
There are no real guidelines or maps in Australia as to how to write a show, whereas in Hollywood it's where the TV industry is created and there's a lot of work that goes into development. ~ Jason Gann
Hollywood quotes by Jason Gann
Hollywood is geared toward teenage idiocy. ~ Sam Shepard
