I've made humanitarian causes and my children much more my priority than the Hollywood scene, being liked and getting movie parts.
I always wanted to do a Hollywood story. The thing about actors, though, is that they go through a streak of roles.
Because of 'The Birds' and 'Marnie' I was, as the expression goes, hot in Hollywood and producers and directors wanted to hire me.
Hollywood's all about, 'Let's make this easy: This is what you do, so you go over here in this group, and we're not gonna call you.'

Making a movie in Hollywood is a bit like playing a board game, where you have to throw a six to start.
Like Hollywood movies, MTV and blue jeans, fast food has become one of America's major cultural exports.
I hope that in some way that I can be some sort of beacon of hope, especially because I am not the typical Hollywood beauty.
I grew up in L.A., and I worked for 'The Hollywood Reporter.' I knew enough about the business to know that the usual role of the author on a movie is to get out of the way and not say anything.
In Hollywood, you're always playing roles... It's like going through the motions. But in real life, it's like, you gotta take care of business. It's not just the movies.
