Lukas Forchhammer Quotes

Entertainment, Hollywood, award shows - these are the things that really captivated me.

It was pop culture, entertainment, Hollywood, award shows - these are the things that really captivated me as a kid. I would watch the Oscars and every award show with my parents. I would make lists of who was going to win.

Hollywood always likes to create a star.

The Oscars have become such a big deal these days that it's just used as adjective.

We think of stars as celestial beings. And once in a while, they smile at us from the pages of 'People' magazine.

Isn't television glamourous?

I live in Spain. Oscars are something that are on TV Sunday night. Basically, very late at night. You don't watch, you just read the news after who won or who lost.

TV was my hobby. I loved the glitz. I loved how hot everybody was.

I don't really like the Oscars; it's a commercial promotional event. It helps immeasurably to sell films, but it's hardly the Nobel prize.

I have the utmost respect for red carpet interviewers; it is such a hard job.

There are two words I hate and despise and don't want to hear: red carpet and iconic.

People love things about Hollywood. People love to see the inside of what's going on.

I adore being able to go to the Oscars and know every single person at the party afterwards.

I say have the night and give people the awards, but why do people want to watch people win awards? What are they getting out of it? I don't quite get it. Because they have awards all the time; there's awards for butchers, the best meat served, but they don't televise it. I don't know why they do it for films or TV programs.

I don't watch much TV or films, but I've watched Cameron Diaz.

I am an outsider looking in, absolutely. You're not going to see me at the Academy Awards 'Vanity Fair' party any time soon. I'm not somebody who, no matter where I go, there are paparazzi or any of that nonsense. But I have a little window into that world, and I can enter it and dance around. I want to be the audience's ticket into the party.

At first, when you go to premieres and award shows, you're thinking, 'How the hell am I here? All these people I've never met are here, and it's so cool!' And then, as time goes on, it's a little bit like, 'Ah... it's more like work.'

Hollywood is the kind of town that likes to make everything larger than life: movie premieres, aging actress' lips, and murders. Actors come from all over the world to find their sliver of fame on the street of L.A. Many stars rise, but many more fall.

Academy Awards don't really solve anything.

I love the Oscars. All sorts of tacky people win. And watching everyone run up and down those aisles is just adorable.

There are moments when you're stepping out of a really nice car on to a red carpet, and you feel inside like, 'This is quite nice,' but I'm never whisked off my feet.

Hollywood is a very inspiring place.

I think it's particularly fun not being a full-time showbiz reporter because you still have the 'Oh, wow!' factor when you go out on the red carpet and there are these big stars that are standing there. But if you're doing this day in and day out, it becomes a little blase.

I don't want to go to Hollywood.

Mass media wants bright lights. Mass media wants crazy clothes.
