“It was a pity that movies and live TV left New York for Hollywood. London theater, movies, television - until (Britain's) money ran out - were always better than ours since the city was the political capital of the country, as well as the artistic and literary one. In L.A. we've always been slightly sealed off from real life. It's no accident that two of our most interesting directors, Woody Allen and Bob Altman, are more or less settled in the real world.” WorldWellsTwoRealCountryPoliticalLeftInterestingCitiesNew YorkTelevisionTvsDirectorsHollywoodTheaterAccidentsLondonReal LifePityArtisticRanBritainReal WorldBobMost InterestingWoodyLive Tv Author:Gore Vidal
“I don't make movies. I don't feel that I have to have artistic control. Part of this comes from the fact that the book lives on no matter what Hollywood does to your novel in terms of a film. Now, you try to be careful who you allow to do your film because nobody wants their novel to become a turkey movie. But, on the other hand, it is a crapshot anyway, because even the best people can make a bad film.” PeopleWantFeelsTryingDoeBookMatterFactsHandsFilmTermNovelHollywoodNo Matter WhatCarefulArtisticBe CarefulTurkeys Author:Stephen King
“Steve Jobs is perhaps the most competitive human being I have ever met in my life, and yet I would argue one of the most artistic human beings I have ever met in my life. You can trash the movies all you want, but they do have an artistic component. And yet brutal competition knows no peers when it comes to Hollywood.” KnowsWantHumansJobsHuman BeingsBusinessMetsHollywoodCompetitionArguingArtisticBrutalPeersComponentsTrash Author:Tom Peters

“All of us have read the stories about young people in Hollywood and all the challenges they have to confront there, and I think that artistically, I really didn't understand the commercial side of the film business, so I went back to a purely artistic setting.” PeopleThinkingStoriesFilmYoungSidesChallengesBusinessHollywoodSettingSettingsArtistic Author:Marisa Tomei
