“I wasn't hanging around the movie theaters in New York where I grew up...” — Peter Bart Quote

I wasn't hanging around the movie theaters in New York where I grew up, a Manhattan brat.

Analyses of the movie marketplace points to an interesting phenomenon: High-profile movies are continuing to do well year-to-year in the U.S. and overseas - this past summer, for example, the top 10 movies registered at the same level as in '04.

It's only in relatively recent years that Hollywood became the playground of multinational corporations which regard movies and TV shows as a minor irritant to their overall activity.

The major media companies are significantly reducing their financial commitment to the motion picture sector.

I was really a spoiled brat when I was a kid skating. Meals are cooked for you, you are driven to the rink, they make costumes for you. Your parents sit around and watch admiringly while you skate. You don't have to think about anything but skating. You're just plain spoiled.

I hate committing myself to anything. It's probably the lack of discipline, honestly. I'm probably a spoiled brat worried about getting my way every time.

I'm a military brat, so I moved around a ton. When you're making friends and you're funny, it makes that easier.

I've been called the Women's Auxiliary of the Brat Pack.

I did a terrible job of composing myself. I was a spoiled brat from Long Island who benefitted from the energy of New York.
