“I have had so many people say, ‘Why don’t you just play the part? Just like, go smile, talk about whatever they want you to talk about.’ It’s like, ‘I do, I really try to do that.’ I guess I should get a face transplant or something … But it’s gotten weird. I’ve like, relinquished control.†—Kristen Stewart [News AU]
“There’s much more graphic stuff coming up later in the season. … If it makes sense when I read it, I’m happy to throw my clothes off.†—Alexander Skarsgard on appearing naked in True Blood [Access Hollywood]

“It really wasn’t meant to be some ‘pity me.’ It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve experienced in a long time. It’s so rare that I feel nervous and small due to a woman’s presence. And I will tell you that, Rihanna had me so overwhelmed at the time that we met and throughout the duration of our friendship, or whatever it was that we had, that she gave me an emotion I truly miss in my life. On the album I wanted to pay homage to her for giving me that emotion.†—Drake on his broken-heart track “Fireworks†[Rickey Smiley via Necole Bitchie]

rep, because I’m gonna be Jacob Black.’†—Taylor Lautner on bulking up for Twilight [GQ]
“We had a confrontational scene where I sort of push him around a little bit. I thought I’d really scare him and grab him and it would freak him out. So I went to grab his shoulder, but he’s so pumped up. It was too big to actually get a grip on. That was kind of embarrassing. I did tease him unmercifully about having to dress up in a little grey spandex wolf suit all the time and try and be intimidating while Kristen was patting him on the head.†—Robert Pattinson on competing with Taylor Lautner in Twilight [Parade]
“I thought, ‘Man, I can do that shit. He ain’t that dope.’ I’m hearing this dude say some clever, witty shit and I’m not doing it, so I feel fucked up. … [Releasing it] would have been career suicide. They would have fuckin’ murdered me.†—Eminem on a Kanye West–Lil Wayne dis track he wrote but never released [Spin]
“The record is therapy. This bitch stole my car, so I wrote a song about it called ‘Backstabber’. When I see thousands of people singing along to it I’m like, ‘Jeanie fuck you. You fucked with the wrong bitch.’ … “Sometimes I’ll walk my dogs and fill bags full of massive dog shit. Then I’ll wrap them as Christmas presents and give them to people.†—Ke$ha [NYDN]
