Washington is Hollywood for ugly people.

Joe Scarborough

Washington D.C. politics is like Hollywood for ugly people.

Ted Cruz

There's an old joke that politics is Hollywood for ugly people. An awful lot of the press coverage about Washington reads like coverage of Hollywood. Madonna is having some spat with Sean Penn. Who cares? And who cares which politician is mad at that politician?

Ted Cruz

What's fascinating is, people in Washington would rather spend time in Hollywood, and people in Hollywood would rather spend time in Washington.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

But 'This Town' is official Washington. It's political Washington. It's not the Washington that clogs New York Avenue. It's not the Washington that lives in Gaithersburg. It's not the Washington that accounts for most of the population. 'This Town' refers to the people who think they run your country.

Mark Leibovich

America's cultural table is set by the people living in the three bubbles - New York Washington D.C. and Hollywood.

Mike Huckabee

Washington and Hollywood spring from the same DNA.

Jack Valenti

There's nothing in Hollywood that's inherently detrimental to good art. I think that's a fallacy that we've created because we frame the work that way too overtly. 'This is Hollywood.' 'This isn't Hollywood.' It's like, 'No, this is actually all Hollywood.' People are just framing them differently.

Barry Jenkins

The people in Washington spend too much time in Washington, so they think Washington-centric thoughts.

Howard Lutnick

I think it's funny that nobody wants to be liked by Washington. All the politicians go, 'I don't like Washington. They don't like me.' I always find it funny that people are trying to distance themselves from Washington as much as they can, even though they're all in Washington.

Maz Jobrani

In Hollywood, it's hard to be funny, because all the big jokes are in Washington.

Rich Little

If Washington is a two-party town, why can't Hollywood be one too?

Jon Voight

After two years in Washington, I often long for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood.

Fred Thompson

Americans need to understand that they have lost their country. The rest of the world needs to recognize that Washington is not merely the most complete police state since Stalinism, but also a threat to the entire world. The hubris and arrogance of Washington, combined with Washington's huge supply of weapons of mass destruction, make Washington the greatest threat that has ever existed to all life on the planet. Washington is the enemy of all humanity.

Paul Craig Roberts

Denzel Washington is a big Hollywood movie star now. But he started out as an actor in the Negro Ensemble company.

Pearl Cleage

Hollywood has a history of raising expectations beyond Washington's reach, of appealing to the very American desire to mythologize political leaders, particularly the president.
