I came out here with one suit and everybody said I looked like a bum. Twenty years later Marlon Brando came out with only a sweatshirt and the town drooled over him. That shows how much Hollywood has progressed.
Humphrey Bogart
Is Hollywood the cruelest city in the world? Well, it can be. New York can be that, too. You can be a Broadway star here one night, and something happens, and out--nobody knows you on the street. They forget you ever lived. It happens in Hollywood, too.
Buster Keaton

I came to Hollywood determined to follow in Jean Harlow`s footsteps, but I was determined not to die young. My hope was to endure. And endure I have.
Mamie Van Doren
[On Hollywood] "The people are unreal. The flowers are unreal, they don`t smell. The fruit is unreal, it doesn`t taste of anything. The whole place is a glaring, gaudy nightmarish set, built up in the desert."
Ethel Barrymore
[on success in Hollywood] I`d like to believe as much of myself as possible is unaffected by the things that can get a little heady. Being from Indiana has its benefits.
Greg Kinnear
It`s been perfect. I can still ride a subway and work with great people. I can`t imagine being Julia Roberts. I don`t have the fortitude to withstand that kind of attention. - when asked by People Magazine about her standing in Hollywood today.
Jennifer Beals
I try to find things that are insanely cheap and brilliant. My Bonne Bell lip gloss is about 75 cents, and I have worn it as my lipstick to almost every main event in Hollywood in the past two years. - quoted in Woman`s World (27 December 2005)
Jennifer Hewitt
From the moment I got to Hollywood I`ve always felt like I never really got to do what I wanted to do. In general, artists feel that you`re never really allowed to accomplish what you would like to accomplish because there`s just so much of this system th...

What you have now is a Hollywood that is pure poison. Hollywood was a central place in the history of art in the 20th century: it was human idealism preserved. And then, like any great place, it collapsed, and it collapsed into the most awful machinery in...

[Before the failure of her first marriage] Too many Hollywood marriages have smashed up because husbands were Mr. Joan Fontaine. That will never happen in our marriage because I am 100% Mrs. Brian Aherne.
Joan Fontaine
[on Betsy Drake] Betsy was a delightful comedienne, but I don`t think Hollywood was ever really her milieu. She wanted to help humanity, to help others help themselves.
Cary Grant
I suck at flirting. There`s one thing I don`t understand about Hollywood. How they have a relationship, end it, and go right into the next. It`s hard for a woman in this industry. Either the guy`s going to be really intimidated, or they`re going to kiss y...
Britney Spears
Plastic surgery used to be a thing where older people would try to go into this dream world of being 28 years old again. But now, in Hollywood, even people at 28 are having work done. Society has made us believe you should look like an 18-year-old model a...
Clint Eastwood
On doing a "Star Trek" convention after 10 years: "One of the main reasons I`m here, if not the entire reason I`m here, is to celebrate Gene Roddenberry. He discovered me, in many ways, when I was a kid in Hollywood, and he put me in two different segment...

Hollywood is a place where people from Iowa mistake each other for a star.
