The criteria, for me, is movie star. It's Hollywood. Not Somalia.

Thank you to all for your prayers and good wishes. It gave me the strength to persevere and warmed my heart.

I think there is a way to be formal and elegant and classy, but more modern. Brad Pitt has been changing it, and Will Smith has been doing it in his own way.

I'll name names, you know I won't hold back.

You're surfing with all this glamour, and a lot of people are talking about Gwyneth, JLo, and Cameron.

In the last couple of years, fashion's gotten a lot safer. People are really pulling back.

We are going to have a huge Oscar issue, you are going to see everything in such beautiful detail.

I don't hold that everybody has to love fashion. Some people like gardening.

I feel great, the prognosis is excellent.

I was on this bridge overlooking the carpet... I think it went all the way back to Oregon.

My phone has been ringing off the hook. I have like 17 cell phones and pagers.

I want everybody who is watching to come to the Academy Awards with us. I'm going to pay for the bus.

We all get swept up in the hype machine. Nobody is immune to that.

I'm very grateful to Jennifer Lopez, because I have something to talk about for the last couple of years.

The criteria, for me, is movie star. It's Hollywood. Not Somalia.

J. Lo, whether she is good or bad, is like a fiery movie star, a throwback to Elizabeth Taylor in her heyday.

I am a child of Hollywood and dreams. To me, to be on the red carpet is the best place in the world.

I used a lot of pancake makeup and a prayer, and a Buddhist chant.

I was born with this. It's a hereditary genetic condition. This is something you can go your whole life without really knowing that something's wrong. I had high blood pressure, and that was the first sign.

I wrote the book in my head when I was 6 years old.

On the red carpet, I saw all these great stories, and I also got to see the plastic surgery up close.

Courtney Love is a loose cannon. She says what she thinks. She's wild on the red carpet. You get the best sound bites from Courtney Love.

I liked Nicole Kidman because she is so fashionable she can do less is more. It was very, very simple, but it was so chic. Some people thought she looked washed out, I didn't at all.

I am going to get political on you. Because I am the most shallow person in the world, my mission is to see men's formal wear change a little bit. It is too rigid! Everybody looks like a penguin!

I'm just a vessel of information.

I'm wearing a garbage bag. I was put on my own worst-dressed list.

I'm being invaded by fashion pundits.

I'm a writer. Now I've started to be on television. I have a big mouth. And I have good TV teeth, they say.

I'm immensely grateful for the precious gift my mother has given me. She is my hero today and every day.

I'm not getting paid right now. No pay, no critique.

The gift that has been given to me says much about our capacity for great compassion and generosity, and I hope it sends an inspiring message to others about the importance of organ donation.

If you dress like a movie star, you have me.

We all respect sincerity in our friends and acquaintances, but Hollywood is willing to pay for it.

I was lucky enough to occasionally break out of that racist situation that prevails in the Hollywood film production community. But it was racist then and it will always be that way. It will never be otherwise.

Awards were made in Hollywood, in whatever the time it was created. They're to promote each other's movies. You give me an award, I give you an award and people will believe that we are great movies and they'll go to see them. It's still the same.

I've always thought John Travolta is one of the greatest movie stars Hollywood has ever produced.

It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide.

The best thing I can think of would be to create a union between something as beautiful and powerful and wonderful as Hollywood films and a criticism of the status quo. That's my dream, to make such a German film.

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.

I remember having to take detours around the Hollywood sign to avoid having to see this grotesque poster of myself on Sunset Boulevard.

Hollywood is kind of a bad world.

It's so crazy in Hollywood.

I don't think I ever understood Hollywood.

I came across awful characters when I got some kind of status and came to Hollywood. Then you have directors trying to sleep with you, assuming that you will do things because of the way you dress.

Hollywood is sexist and age-ist, and that covers all the bases, I guess.

A few nights ago I went to a Hollywood screening of a small independent film made by Sally Kirkland, an old friend of mine who also did terrific job acting in it. There were other actors in it and they were all terrific.

Hollywood today is all about being consistent. All thinking in mainstream film business takes place in one box.

Everyone is treating it like a Hollywood story. In Madison, it's a neighborhood story.

Hollywood is what you make it; you have to choose company with care because you become what they are.
