“Well first of all, the fact that that was news was astounding to me.
It gave humpbacked geeks all over the world something to do for a
couple of days."
~Billy Bob Thornton, on his now-infamous interview with Q host Jian Ghomeshi
"I can't get over that she is a huge pop icon of the world. People are acting like she's the new Britney Spears...I don't know
even why this girl gets so much attention and press. I guess if you
dress like a fool and have crazy, ridiculous haircuts, people start
paying attention."
"To sell out like that is a testament to talent. It is just amazing to
sell out 50 shows in one city in a big arena. It’s the biggest comeback
since Lazarus. It’s good news - but not for me."
~Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, on Michael Jackson's sold-out comeback tour
"I'm probably a lot more boring than I used to be and more tired at
night. You can't fake it. It's like when it's bedtime, it's bedtime. I
go to bed earlier and I get up earlier. I think being a parent changes
everything about you in really little ways and in ways that you don't
really understand unless you have kids. It's kind of like describing a
guitar chord -- it's not really a simple thing to do."
“I do have an ego and rightfully so. I think people should have an ego. Think about it - I don’t offend people, I don’t put anyone down. Do
I name names or bring people down? That’s not my thing. But I give
myself big-ups. I feel good about the music I make.”
~Kanye West, who also says his greatest pain in life is that he will never be able to see himself perform live
"No matter what I say, things will always be taken out of context and
misinterpreted, will always be turned around to make it seem as though
I won’t let something go, or that I just keep talking about it over and
over. I don’t owe anybody anything. I don’t owe anybody my side of the
story. There are no sides! There is no bad guy and there is no good
guy. There are no villains and there is no heroine in this story. It’s
just not the case."
"My mom licked me — that was her punishment. If I was a little uppity or if I didn’t listen or if she wanted to get my attention, she’d lick the side of my face or under my armpit. My mom’s a six-foot-tall amazon and she’d say, ‘‘You came out of my vagina and I own every part of you,’’ and she’d lick me like I was her wee pup and she was a lioness. It was humiliating and really intense. Very primal. It’s not spanking, but it definitely works."
"Remember when you could mildly stalk a guy? Not anymore, man. They can
be at your front door in five minutes. There's just no mystery now." ~ Kate Walsh, in an interview with Redbook
"Weirdly, they've become obsessed by Friends. My oldest daughter
is obsessed, and she knows I worked with Jennifer Aniston, so she's like, 'Call her up, call her up.' I'm not calling
her up. What are you going to say to her? They hit me up for weird
things like that."
~Clive Owen on his daughters' obsession with the hit TV show Friends
