Famous quotes containing the word hollywood:

    In Hollywood now when people die they don’t say, “Did he leave a will?” but “Did he leave a diary?”
    Liza Minnelli (b. 1946)

    If New York is the Big Apple, tonight Hollywood is the Big Nipple.
    Bernardo Bertolucci (b. 1940)

    That’s one thing I like about Hollywood. The writer is there revealed in his ultimate corruption. He asks no praise, because his praise comes to him in the form of a salary check. In Hollywood the average writer is not young, not honest, not brave, and a bit overdressed. But he is darn good company, which book writers as a rule are not. He is better than what he writes. Most book writers are not as good.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
