Hollywood and The Other Hollywood
Actors' quotes about Hollywood and the International Cinema
Topic description
This section contains quotes about America and all the other nations where cinema has a patriotic value. For Hollywood movies stars, being a filmmaker is the maximum expression of talent, success and fame that can be achieved.

Others - those who were born and raised in the shadow of the Hollywood Sign - can't wait to leave this place, because they know there are other ways and other countries where they could be filmmakers, like France and Italy.
“I think Americans have a sense of guilt because they understand that they have more of just about everything than anyone else.”
“Most of the time I only watch European movies, independent movies, or screen them privately.”
“I think in America I'm looked upon as the equivalent of a European director -- which is quite laughable.”
