Hollywood

Hollywood is the most superficial thing you could possibly be a part of and if I weren’t attractive I wouldn’t be working at all.

Hollywood selon Bukowski

I found out that Hollywood is more crooked, dumber, crueler, stupider than all the books I’ve read about it. They didn’t go deeply enough into how it lacks art, and soul, and heart— how it’s really a piece of crap. There are too many hands directing, there’re too many fingers in the pot, and they’re all kind of ignorant about what they’re doing. They’re greedy, and they’re vicious. So you don’t get much of a movie.

— Charles Bukowski

Normal

“My darling girl, when are you going to understand that being normal is not neccessarily a virtue? It rather denotes a lack of courage.”
