Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.

About This Quote

The movie star system can be a very harsh place for actors. In order to attract people to watch the movie they are in, movie stars have to constantly pose and look perfect. But, people will pay money to see a movie with a great actor, so actors have to pay attention to their looks as well as their acting abilities. That means that they have to spend money on all of their appearance for the role and then they have to spend even more money on personal trainers, plastic surgeons, and makeup artists. The worst part is that many actors feel pressured to take this route in order to get the best results.
