“I do have a few wigs, actually. And sometimes I grow my facial hair out. I wanted to walk around Comic-Con this year, so I dressed kinda homeless. But someone recognized me and posted it online. I was like, ‘Thanks. Now I can’t wear that again.’†—Twilight’s Kellan Lutz [Nylon via PopSugar]
“As much as it has to be funny, you also want to help educate my generation or the generation after me that might not know the importance of the unity of the Berlin Wall when coming down — how it really affected people’s lives.†—Katy Perry on why she’s hosting the MTV Europe Awards [AP via Yahoo]
“Once I was doing this interview in Ireland and it was quite bad because it was over the phone, like on a cell phone. We were playing some shitty gig and we were trying to promote it. There was a serious musician on the show so the DJ was asking me, talking about funny music, ‘So you do funny songs?’ And then the serious musician was really offended. He hadn’t heard any of our stuff but he’s like, ‘Why are you hiding behind [humor]? Do you not have emotions?’ Really accusatory. I don’t know why they’re like that. Also, a lot of our songs actually do come from serious things. Some of our breakup songs have come from breakups. We just think of it like that. We play in comedy clubs so we’ll talk about real breakups but we’ll disguise it. I don’t even know if I could do that myself, actually go and put my heart out there.†— Flight of the Conchords’ Jemaine Clement [Suicide Girls]
“It’s very different to going out with a bunch of friends and being funny than actually being able to be funny on a film set. Earlier on, in theater school I would butcher some of the funniest scenes I’ve ever seen in my life. Comedy has such a specific requirement. It’s set up so that on the fourth line, you have to get the laugh and if you’re not getting the laugh, you panic. It wasn’t something I’ve ever felt really comfortable with.†—Kiefer Sutherland on why he’s not a comedian [Female First]
“I think we must all remember that the ultimate accessory is the condom.†—Lady Gaga [NYP]
