If all of the people in Hollywood had plastic surgery and went on vacation, there wouldn't be a person left in town.

Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.

I don't know if high society is different in other cities, but in Hollywood, important people can't stand to be invited someplace that isn't full of other important people. They don't mind a few unfamous people being present because they make good listeners.

In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are.

I remember being in Hollywood at the age of 16 and marveling at the stars. The idea of being part of it never entered my mind. It was too far-fetched.

I sure lost my musical direction in Hollywood. My songs were the same conveyor belt mass production, just like most of my movies were.
