Survival rule number three, kid: you're not here to love anyone. You're here to promote a movie. That's it. Period. Say you're here and you get word that your mother died. You know, like, hit by a bus or something. You go downstairs, you shed a tear, and you say, "It's a shame. She would have loved this movie".
Billy Crystal - Lee Phillips

“To survive [in Hollywood] you need the ambition of a Latin American revolutionary, the ego of a grand opera tenor, and the physical stamina of a cow pony.”
Billie Burke

“You can sometimes learn more working with less talented people, because you learn to survive.”
Jacqueline Bisset

“I'm no actor - and I have sixty-four pictures to prove it.”
Victor Mature

“The budget for Apocalypse Now in 1979 was over $25 million. For that sort of money we could have invaded somewhere.”
Clint Eastwood
