Famous quotes containing the word hollywood:
“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)
“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)
