“One can live a simple life in Hollywood, despite reports to the contrary. You can be out in the open. You can ride horseback and even go swimming in the winter. New York has its decided advantages - plays, operas, art exhibits, auctions - and I would not want to stay away from it too long. But frankly, I would rather work in Hollywood.”
Rodolfo Valentino

“I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.”
Michael Douglas

“In Hollywood, actors learn to act from watching television. In New York people learn to act by walking down the street.”
Sidney Lumet

“I'd love to do something on Broadway. I'd love to spend some time in New York.”
Richard Madden

“I think the choice of actors that we have is a little more varied and rich here in New York than in L.A.”
Jerry Orbach
