Pastoral Resources

If I fail, the film industry writes me off as another statistic. If I succeed, they pay me a million bucks to fly out to Hollywood and fart.

If you can believe it, Hollywood wanted to change my birthdate. I was born after Valentine's Day, so they wanted to change it to February 14. A Latin lover should be born on Valentine's Day. I said no.

In Hollywood a marriage is a success if it outlasts milk.

Yeah, there's a tendency to get pigeonholed in Hollywood.

West Hollywood is predominantly gay, so every man that came into the grocery store was shopping for his boyfriend.

My husband is someone who's in the real world. It's a big help that I don't have both feet in Hollywood.

It's the unusual leading man. Most of the Hollywood leading men are powerful and capable and strong, heroes. He has this vulnerability, he's fragile, he struggles to find a way to live from day to day that we can identify with, that we can understand.

So that, to me, is important that audiences are treated with an amount of respect toward their intelligence. Most Hollywood films don't respect their intelligence.

You know, when you don't go on TV and talk about how many women you sleep with, some people in Hollywood, that are supposedly 'in the know,' start whispering that you're gay. If I were gay, I wouldn't be ashamed to admit it, but I'm not.

I don't really worry about being typecast much. I mean, everyone in Hollywood is typecast to a degree.

Hollywood will accept actresses playing ten years older, but actors can play ten years younger.

We should never forget that Hollywood was built by Europeans, and the old Jewish boys from Eastern Europe.

Hollywood is an extraordinary kind of temporary place.

Silence is the sure sign that you're on your way out in Hollywood.

The trap is that you then just start doing stuff about Hollywood, which I don't really want to do.

Hollywood movies are run on fear and they don't want to make bold choices. They, generally, speaking want to keep things status quo. That's not really interesting for me.

Hollywood is sexist and age-ist, and that covers all the bases, I guess.

I've learned by hanging out in Hollywood, where I disagree politically with most people, that most people's hearts are in the right place, and the only thing we have to argue about is the way to solve the problems.

You know, there's so much imitation and so much pandering in Hollywood.

Then if your movie clicks with real audiences, you'll be sucked into some sort of Hollywood orbit. It's a devil of a place where the only religion that really counts is box office.
