“I'm impressed with the people from Chicago. Hollywood is hype, New York is talk, Chicago is work.”
Michael Douglas

“One can live a simple life in Hollywood, despite reports to the contrary. You can be out in the open. You can ride horseback and even go swimming in the winter. New York has its decided advantages - plays, operas, art exhibits, auctions - and I would not want to stay away from it too long. But frankly, I would rather work in Hollywood.”
Rodolfo Valentino

“I’m a New York actor as I said and I always said I would never go to Hollywood.”
James Tolkan

“If Hollywood didn't work out I was all prepared to be the best secretary in the world.”
Bette Davis

“Acting is like roller-skating. Once you know how to do it, it is neither stimulating nor exciting.”
George Sanders
