Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Jackie Earle Haley—Watchmen—02/28/09

Haley: 'Every punch, every kick is a lash-out against his mom and the horrible upbringing, the neglect, the beatings that tweaked him...he needed to go out and come up with this black-and-white sense of justice just to survive.'
Billy Crudup, Patrick Wilson & Malin Akerman—Watchmen—02/28/09

Wilson: 'the leaps that they had made, or the changes that they made, rather, from the graphic novel sort of left room for a minor bit of input, at least, from our side.'
Will Arnett—Sit Down Shut Up, Arrested Development—02/27/09

I did play those kind of parts, quite frankly...maybe a little bit too much...So I made a decision that I did want to kind of harness whatever a-hole capabilities that I have and use them for good.
Mitch Hurwitz—Sit Down Shut Up, Arrested Development—02/27/09

Everybody goes off and has careers and that kind of thing, so it's been a little challenging to schedule everybody together. And, um, but we've all—everyone who's agreed to make this movie has agreed to make this movie.
Henry Winkler & Josh Weinstein—Sit Down Shut Up, Arrested Development, The Simpsons—02/27/09

Winkler: I don’t know what happened to me, but when I first read this script, and I went in, I did it with a great calm. I just did him, and I spoke very quietly...he’s always on the verge of possibly crying, it seems like.
Kenan Thompson—Sit Down Shut Up, Saturday Night Live—02/27/09

I guess you just gotta lady it up, you know what I mean? You can’t be a man in lady’s clothes...You kind of got to get into actually being as much of a woman as possible so that people can believe the jokes, I guess.
Tom Kenny—Sit Down Shut Up, The Batman, SpongeBob SquarePants—02/27/09

I’m fortunate in that—since I do a lot of voices—a show like this always needs their Hank Azaria guy that's, like, fill in, you know, 'Man #7'—you know, 'Guy Behind Door.'
Richard M. Sherman—Mary Poppins, The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story—4/24/09

[Walt Disney] pulled the car off to the side, and stopped the car, and he says, 'You're not going to give your royalties on this song away! It's going to put your kids through college!'
Common & Moon Bloodgood—Terminator Salvation—2/28/09

Common: 'One day they came and told me...'Yo, it’s the scene your brother got killed.' I’m like, 'I didn’t even know I had a brother!'...when I got to the set, they was like 'Oh, he’s not your brother anymore.'
McG—Terminator Salvation—2/28/09

With the second one, should we be able to make it, I can’t stand how excited I am about it. Let’s just say that it involves time travel, and it involves John Connor once again trying to galvanize the forces of those who think he’s crazy.
Anton Yelchin & Bryce Dallas Howard—Star Trek, Terminator Salvation—2/28/09

Yelchin: 'I just kind of fully embraced Chekov...there’s no point to losing the potential within Chekov just by making him a Russian kid...it’s a Cold War stereotype meets Davy Jones, you know?'
J.J. Abrams, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana—Star Trek—2/28/09

Zachary Quinto: 'There is an optimism that lives in the heart of this film and in the heart of the franchise that I think is a really great thing for us to be able to share with the world right now.'
John Cho—Star Trek, Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay—02/23/08 & 03/15/08

The training was great...it was sort of like simulating the Starfleet Academy. And it just felt like we'd gone through something together.
R.W. Goodwin—Alien Trespass—2/15/09

It’s wonderful for me to see it with audiences now because they just laugh, or they’re really scared or they’re really touched, you know? It’s got all the elements of the '50s movies, but with the added layer that it’s funny.
Virginia Madsen—Wonder Woman—2/27/09

Do you realize, the lesson at the end of this movie is just 'Call your mother!'? I understand that!
Bruce Timm—Wonder Woman, Green Lantern—2/27/09

We get in these super-huge geeky debates sometimes about 'Oh, Steve Trevor would never say that' or...'That’s completely out of character,' and it’s like, who says, ya know?
Lauren Montgomery—Wonder Woman—2/27/09

Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman are their most precious babies. All the other characters, they’re like 'Oh yeah, fine. Whatever. Sign off, they’re cool.' But Wonder Woman was a bitch to nail down.
Zöe Bell—Angel of Death, Lost—2/28/09

Maybe it’s like: the alcoholic becoming sober. Because basically what she went through is technically horrific, but when she gets emotions and she gets conscious, technically she’s 'coming right.'
Matthew Goode—Brideshead Revisited, Watchmen—7/11/08

We hope we’re not going to piss off the fans...to flesh out a few things in Adrian Veidt’s past...he has a kind of private, now, and a public persona...And may or may not have American and German accents.
James Gray—Two Lovers—2/19/09

It's called often the 'rubber duckie' school of drama. Mommy took my rubber duckie from me...some pop psychology answer. And really the brain is much more mysterious than that.
Henry Selick—Coraline—1/27/09

Children, the younger they are, they're heathens. They're wild animals. It's much more about instinct. Love is a fierce thing to a child. Separation from mother, you know, fear of death...what is death?
Laurent Cantet—The Class—11/17/08

There is a domestication--that when you go out of a school, you have to behave like society wants you to behave...Politically speaking, I wouldn't accept it very easily, but I have to admit I've been socialized by school too.
Steven Soderbergh—Che—1/16/09

Americans get accused of being philistines when it comes to art...This is the only place in the world that audiences are seeing the Roadshow Version, because all the distributors everywhere else in the world said, 'Nobody in our country will go see that.'
Bruce Campbell—My Name is Bruce—12/17/08

I’m very thankful for the poor bastards who came before me who had to suck it up and work like a dog so that I could sit around and crack jokes.
Ari Folman—Waltz with Bashir—12/3/08

My best friends from childhood ran away. They got cold feet, and they didn’t participate...it’s not very cool to be a filmmaker and a left-wing liberal extremist and then...say, 'I remember we were going out to capture this village...'
Danny Boyle—Slumdog Millionaire—10/20/08

They are very keen on acting in India...it’s absolutely imprinted in their DNA...The kids do bits of dance for you, from certain movies.
Debra Chasnoff—Straightlaced: How Gender's Got Us All Tied Up—1/2/09

What we’ve been trying to do with all of our work in the series is to make the case that everybody is affected by anti-gay prejudice. It’s not just the kids who turn out to be LGBT.
Sam Rockwell—Choke—9/26/08

[We] talked about Harold and Maude as a tone. Fisher King, I brought that up. And then Alfie and Five Easy Pieces and a few others…We wanted something realistic but funny…moving and emotionally deep.
Alan Ball—Towelhead, True Blood—8/29/08

Sexuality is really a way that people’s souls get expressed...I know that we have a tendency as Americans to sort of not go there, but I’m kind of interested in going there because I think it tells you a lot about someone’s psyche...
Steve Coogan—Hamlet 2, Tropic Thunder—7/28/08

He’s very effusive and emotionally open in a way that’s not very masculine. And certainly not British...someone who sort of waves his arms around a lot and clutches his bosom. It’s like he actually thinks his life is a movie.
George Lucas—Star Wars: The Clone Wars—8/4/08

Well, the mythological arc of the saga doesn't really continue in these other things...which means we're not encumbered by this mythological uber-story of the psychological underpinnings of why somebody turns to be a bad person.
Kevin Costner—Swing Vote, JFK—7/18/08

They can't run over us if we really want to stand up. So as long as we have our vote, we have some hope.
Melissa Leo & Courtney Hunt—Frozen River—7/18/06

Leo: 'I think living with a gambling addict...whether she had this skill [for lying] before she was married to him all those years ago or not, she certainly developed it over the years and, in fact, we've taught her son to be a pretty handy liar too.'
Guy Maddin—My Winnipeg, Brand Upon the Brain!—5/2/08

I lost my virginity to Lorne Greene narrating Lorne Greene's Nature Wildlife Theatre. I think he was talking about how bugs gnaw each other's heads off while screwing. And here I was, not losing my head at all.
David Duchovny & Gillian Anderson—The X-Files: I Want to Believe—2/23/08

Duchovny: 'There is a journey to be had. So you either have to start on top or on the bottom for a journey to happen. You can't start at the middle...'
Chris Carter & Frank Spotnitz—The X-Files: I Want to Believe—2/23/08

Carter: 'There's a beef recall. Mulder's a cross-dresser. Aah, I'm not going to tell you, only because you really don't want to know...'
Masi Oka & Nate Torrence—Get Smart, Get Smart's Bruce and Lloyd Out of Control—6/25/08

It's splitting Q into two parts. Bruce and Lloyd make up one gadget guy, in reality. They're just two different parts of one person...
James McAvoy—Wanted, Atonement—2/23/08 & 11/28/07

All the actors stayed in one house together, with some of the key crew members and Joe, the director...I decided not to--partly because I'd been to drama school, and I couldn't be bothered with it...I've lived in a madhouse.
Andrew Stanton—Wall-E—6/16/08

The big myth—I’ve been asked this for fifteen years. And we’ll give it the same answer fifteen years from now. We never think of who our audience is. We always just made the movies we want to see.
Chris O'Donnell—Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, Batman Forever—6/13/08

I’ve never been much of a car guy myself. And I’ve been known to crash a few. I think I crashed the Batmobile when we were filming...the cars, the costumes, the set dressing—that really helps us, as actors, to get into character.
