Pastoral Resources

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.

In Europe an actor is an artist. In Hollywood, if he isn't working, he's a bum.

As much as we'd like to believe that our work is great and that we're infallible, we're not. Hollywood movies are made for the audience. These are not small European art films we're making.

As far as film goes, I enjoy all Hollywood films and all Horror films like The Bride of Frankenstein, which also might be my favorite. I like 60's and 70's Italian and Spanish Horror films.

So many people aren't ready for Hollywood - professionally or practically.

Hollywood has lost touch with their audience a long time ago.

If you tell people your ambitions, they usually laugh at you. When I told my girlfriends when I was 12 that I was going to Hollywood, they all laughed. And here I am!

In Hollywood, if you don't have happiness, you send out for it.

You were there all day long, 12 hours a day. So there was none of this, 'I'm going back to my trailer, my trailer's bigger than your trailer,' that kind of Hollywood nonsense.
