Hollywood money isn’t money. It’s congealed snow, melts in your hand, and there you are.

Hollywood money isn’t money. It’s congealed snow, melts in your hand, and there you are.
From Self-Portrait, The Paris Review, “Writers at Work” 1956
Well, I think you’re simply marvelous, giving this perfectly marvelous party for him, and having him meet all these white people, and all. Isn’t he terribly grateful?
From Arrangement in Black and White
If I don’t drive around the park,
I’m pretty sure to make my mark.
If I’m in bed each night by ten,
I may get back my looks again.
If I abstain from fun and such,
I’ll probably amount to much;
But I shall stay the way I am,
Because I do not give a damn.
The sweeter the apple, the blacker the core–
Scratch a lover, and find a foe!
Ducking for apples - change one letter and it’s the story of my life.
The only “ism” hollywood believes in is plagiarism.
