Hollywood Quotes
I know instantly whether I should take a role. If my skin tingles as I read the script, then it is absolutely something I must do. But if my stomach churns, I do not touch the project, because if I did, I’d end up on a psychiatrist’s couch. Either my spirit can take the story or it cannot, and my senses have never misled me.
from Just as I Am book by Cicely Tyson

In Hollywood, if you pass on too many projects, they may quit asking. If you step out of your lane, and turn your back on what you’re successful at, the industry can turn its back on you.

Instead, I’ve experienced a bunch of little breaks that trickle in just as I’m almost positive I won’t catch one again. Mom says Hollywood’s like a bad boyfriend. “They keep stringing you along without making any type of formal commitment.” I’m not exactly sure what this means, but it sounds right.
from I’m Glad My Mom Died book by Jennette McCurdy
Here’s the thing about Hollywood. It’s both a place and a feeling.
from The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo book by Taylor Jenkins Reid
It’s better to play your own game in the business of Hollywood than to do your business playing Hollywood’s game.
from Greenlights book by Matthew McConaughey
