Hollywood thoughts: Richard E. Grant
On the eve of the US release of Wah-Wah, a small sample of writer-director Richard E. Grant's take on Hollywood, to Sally Vincent in the Guardian: "Hollywood... is on what they call a shit-tide, meaning a tide where stuff comes in and goes out very quickly. People come in, get a part in something, get in a magazine, then they go away and you never hear of them again. The sun shines, the level of paranoia is bottomless and everybody you meet has an agenda. And that's it. Showbusiness, 24 hours a day. If you're doing well, you're a target, nobody's interested in you except how you can be of use to them. And you can't engage with anyone, you can only engage with their agenda. It is all," he ended enigmatically, "very anti-sex."
