you tell me that you hate hollywood - how congested it is, how fake the people are...well i guess thats just because youre not a member of an elite group...a small, select few people who can see through the pomp and pretense...no, not even see through - not see at all. for me its everything i am. i was born in hollywood. i was a baby and then a toddler and then an awkward pre-adolescent and then an awkward adolescent on some of the greatest lots in hollywood history. i know all the studios, have been raised on most of them, and i know all of their players - the old guard - thalberg and ince and mayer and warner and zanuck and goldwyn, and all of their pictures and stars. directors like victor fleming, hitchcock, otto preminger, george cukor, king vidor, vincente minnelli. and howard - his building on romaine.....forgotten by most, never known by you my friend because i never had a chance to show you. the lots - lots that from the outside look like nothing...or other lots that are prettier...but youd never know the projects these stages have seen, or the people whose feet have touched these stages. you wouldnt, no, but i would. i would and i do.

so dont worry baby, in this divorce of ours its very simple:

you can have noho, im aiming a little higher.
