“If I lived there, I'd move.”

Clint Eastwood

“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

“It's good to experience Hollywood in short bursts, I guess. Little snippets. I don't think I can handle being here all the time, it's pretty nutty.”
Johnny Depp

When I came to LA five years ago, I was shocked: all the women dressed like hookers. And part of me was happy: you know, I'd say to my wife "Honey, why don't you buy a pair of those pants — those skintight whore pants the Brentwood housewives are wearing".

David O. Russell

“When Jack Warner hired him to write scripts at the studio, Mizner came into Warner's office with the Los Angeles telephone book, dropped it on his desk and said, 'This might have been good for a picture — except it has too many characters in it.”
Joseph Leo Mankiewicz On Wilson Mizner
