"My God, almost anything we do here will be an
improvement."
- John Barrymore, scouting a hilltop home in 1915
"Hundreds of acres abounded with orange and lemon
groves - a heaven on earth."
- Frances Marion
"The most important deals in the movie industry are
finalized on the sun-drenched turf of golf courses or
around turquoise swimming pools, where the smell of
barbecue sauce is born on gentle breezes and wafts over
the stereo system of houses that people seldom
leave."
- Shirley MacLaine
"I've been to Paris France and I've been to Paris
Paramount. Paris Paramount is better."
- Ernst Lubitsch
"Hollywood is the only industry, even taking in soup
companies, which does not have laboratories for the
purpose of experimentation."
- Orson Welles
"Its idea of "production value" is spending
a milion dollars dressing up a story that any good writer
would throw away. Its vision of the rewarding movie is a
vehicle for some glamour-puss with two expressions and
eighteen changes of costume, or for some male idol of the
muddled millions with a permanent hangover, six worn-out
acting tricks, the build of a lifeguard, and the mentality
of a chicken-strangler."
- Raymond Chandler
"In Beverly Hills . . . they don't throw their
garbage away. They make it into television shows."
- Woody Allen
"Hollywood is a place where people from Iowa mistake
each other for stars."
- Fred Allen
"You can fool all the people all the time if the
advertising is right and the budget is big enough."
- Joseph E. Levine
"Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand
dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know,
because I turned down the first offer often enough and
held out for the fifty cents."
- Marilyn Monroe
"Hollywood is a place where they place you under
contract instead of under observation."
- Walter Winchell
