“[Firing Sienna Miller from Robin Hood and replacing her with Cate Blanchett] wasn’t my call, actually, it’s more that I’m too old and fat! But Cate brings something else. The way we changed the character, we needed somebody who was going to be resilient. And Cate is superb in this film. She was excellent to work with and a great partner in crime.†—Russell Crowe [Showbiz Spy]

“I’m not diversifying in terms of selling anything. I’m not selling ‘John Mayer: the cologne’. If I did it would just smell like sausage and sleep. I don’t look at my fans and think, ‘Wow, they really like what I do musically. Imagine if I could get 60 more dollars out of them!’ Who out there really goes, ‘You know what, I just fucking love perfumes. I always have since I was a kid. If I weren’t a pop singer, I’d be a perfumier … ? At some point I may turn into an asshole, but right now I just peddle a CD for 15 dollars every two years.†—John Mayer [Wonderwall/MSN]
