But in the back of my mind I've always looked to the biggest-scale Hollywood movies. Because to me the most satisfying experience is of watching a movie, if it's done really well. And so that aspiration is always it for me, if I have the opportunity to do it. ↗

I'm an actor, not a star. Stars are people who live in Hollywood and have heart-shaped swimming pools. ↗

Madonna is her own Hollywood studio - a popelike mogul and divine superstar in one. She has a laserlike instinct for publicity, aided by her visual genius for still photography (which none of her legion of imitators has). Unfortunately, her public life has dissolved into a series of staged photo ops. ↗

Hollywood views regular people as children, and they think they're the smart ones who need to tell the idiots out there how to be. ↗

My mother had been an actress and we came from that world in New York, the theater world and the downtown sort of theater scene, and so I guess we didn't really have what you'd call like a Hollywood kind of life at all. ↗

Even if I weren't in Hollywood, I would feel pressure to look a certain way. ↗

Growing up in Hollywood it seemed like every kid was the child of some star. We had no idea that other people would think we were special, because there was no other lifestyle to compare it to. ↗

In Hollywood now when people die they don't say, 'Did he leave a will?' but 'Did he leave a diary?' ↗
