People are intrigued by fame, power and wealth and I think Hollywood is the only place where you get all three together.

I have this theory that people in Hollywood don't read. They read 'Vanity Fair' and then consider themselves terribly well read. I think I can basically write about anybody without getting caught.

I am a child of Hollywood and dreams. To me, to be on the red carpet is the best place in the world.

The criteria, for me, is movie star. It's Hollywood. Not Somalia.

If you go out to Hollywood you'll find a lot of fantastic plastic people there in the business and a lot of people in life generally. They find it so hard to be themselves that they have to be plastic.

If my books had been any worse, I should not have been invited to Hollywood, and if they had been any better, I should not have come.

In the past when I was in Hollywood, I was like a dog. I felt humiliated. My English was not good. People would even ask me 'Jackie Who?'.

My faith doesn't go over real well in Hollywood.

Hollywood... was the place where the United States perpetrated itself as a universal dream and put the dream into mass production.

When I first came here, Hollywood was very closed-minded.

I seemed to belong to three countries: I had an apartment in Paris, a house in Hollywood, and when I married British theater director Peter Hall, I moved to London.

In Hollywood, the rainbow hits the ground for composers.

And I wasn't crazy about Hollywood in those days.

So I got caught up in the same wave as everybody else and went right out to Hollywood, to make movies.

My mother thought Hollywood was a den of iniquity, and people came to terrible bad ends there.
