“Joseph Wambaugh is a hero to today's crime writers, and 'Hollywood Station' will school them all: to this day, no one writes about cops' lives with his force and immediacy.”
Michael Pietsch
“Games allow writers to express creativity in a process that won't get as bogged down as the Hollywood studio system. Writers are artists, and they like to see their work out there.”
Randall Jahnson
“Every one who is any one in Hollywood is a shark, whether they know it or not. They may not look like a shark, smell like a shark, or even act like a shark, but you can be sure, if they made it in Hollywood, somewhere, there’s some shark in them.”
Bruce Edwin
“Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.”
Marilyn Monroe
“I used to think as I looked at the Hollywood night, 'there must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest.'”
