“The movies have been so rank the last couple of years that when I see people lining up to buy tickets I sometimes think that the movies aren't drawing an audience - they're inheriting an audience. People just want to go to a movie. They're stung repeatedly, yet their desire for a good movie - for any movie - is so strong that all over the country they keep lining up.” PeopleThinkingWantYearsHas BeensCountrySometimesLastsFilmDesireStrongAudienceCoupleHollywoodDrawingTicketsGood MovieLining Up Book:Raising Kane and Other Essays Source: Raising Kane and Other Essays

Ain't no weak people talking to you. So what is happening in Hollywood? Nobody knows! The worst thing to call somebody is crazy. It's dismissive. I don't understand this person, so they're crazy.

“I was 12 when I ordered my first guitar out of the worn and discolored pages of the Sears and Roebuck catalog. The story that I bought it on the installment plan is untrue, the invention of a Hollywood press agent. Local color.

“It takes a pretty strong person, a rather unusual young person, to stand up to ridicule and refuse to give in to temptation. There are so many things today in modern music, on television, and in the movies that portray a life that is nowhere near the life the Lord would have us live. Consequently, we cannot afford to turn to the radio, television, or Hollywood to take our cues about what is right and what is wrong. It is scary to realize that the more we are exposed to Hollywood's version of life, the more we gradually begin to accept it.” GivingPersonsTodayYoungTurnsStrongRealizingAcceptingLordModernTelevisionHollywoodRadioRefuseScaryVersionsTemptationUnusualExposedRidiculeStrong PersonModern Music Author:Robert L.
