“I don’t want everything in 3-D because I don’t want to be in the middle of everything. Sometimes I want to be distant from it … I don’t think anyone want [sic] to see Jason Segel’s penis in 3-D.†—Judd Apatow [Contact Music]
“Fuck surgery! I’m so curious as to what’s going to happen naturally that I can’t imagine wanting to alter things just yet. And to all those women putting botulism in their faces — we don’t know what the long-term effects are, so stop! I’d rather look like a basset hound than do that to my face!†—Drew Barrymore [Showbiz Spy]
“Aaron Sorkin wrote the script, Bennett Miller who directed Capote is directing it, and Brad Pitt is the other star besides me in the movie — and somehow, I’ve ruined the movie without even having done anything in it. That’s how powerful my crappiness is. I mean, come on. I earned the part. Every guy who is in their twenties and making movies was after that part, and it was a very tough thing. I’m really proud to have earned it, you know?†—Jonah Hill on his Moneyball detractors [MTV]
“I only have a really weird answer, which is Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas. John [Cusack] and I co-directed the American stage premiere of the movie … Sorry great actors Johnny Depp, Benicio del Toro, and great director Terry Gilliam, but I still think we have something to offer in the Hunter S. Thompson canon of work in bringing it to film.†—High Fidelity and Grosse Pointe Blank co-writer Steve Pink on what movie he’d like to remake [MovieWeb]
“I’ve never quite felt like I fitted in. It’s as if I was invisible before Mad Men; now people come up and say, ‘God, I love the show, I’m so-and-so,’ and I’m like, ‘I know, I had dinner with you three years ago.’ … I feel like Mad Men is revenge enough. I’m like, ‘Look at my great job and suck it!’†—Christina Hendricks [Elle UK via Contact Music]
“We’ve been working on it on and off over the last six or seven years. The biggest hurdle for me personally was that Drake Sather, who created the character, passed away. He was a good friend and the lump for me was it’s hard to imagine doing it without him. Now my buddy, Justin Thoreau [sic], has committed to directing and writing it. So I’m excited and I think it’s going to happen. I want to be able to do something that lives up to the first one. That’s the challenge.†—Ben Stiller on Zoolander 2 [Parade]
