Costumes say a lot about a character. When it came to 'Palo Alto,' it was important for me that the kids didn't look perfect. In most teen movies today, all of the clothes are expensive. I remember wearing a lot of dirty vintage clothes.
Gia Coppola
After 'Idol,' I had horrible management. I was getting reality show pilot offers - just to film a few episodes to see how it'd go, for VH1, for Bravo - and my manager wasn't letting me do any of them. I was auditioning for things like Disney movies instead! I was held back from doing any cool opportunity when the iron was hot, and I regret that.

'Superbad' and 'Remember the Titans' - two movies I can watch over and over again. I watch 'Superbad' whenever I need to laugh.
Carl Hagelin
When we make these movies, you sign up for an experience. It's not just, 'Action! Cut!' There's not that safety in it. It's kind of a dangerous place to be. I mean, it is safe, but it gets personal. It's no longer about saying the lines. It's about really having an experience.
Derek Cianfrance
I love working with Scorsese. He's not only a brilliant director and is great working with actors, but he's also a walking human film encyclopedia. It's fun to talk about movies with him.
I've had the pleasure of working in the U.K. a few times before. I've shot a few movies there before. One of them was Neil Simon's 'London Suite,' which was based on his play. I also shot a film in Dublin, a little film with Bernadette Peters, called 'Bobbie's Girl.'
Jonathan Silverman
Movies don't make people act a fool. People act a fool because they want to act a fool.
Eazy-E
It's 'Sharknado,' people. No one's expecting a tear-jerking, gut-wrenching emotional piece. This is just wild sci-fi action/adventure at it's finest. It's one of those dopey movies that come on in the middle of the night, and your eyes just stay open watching it 'cuz your glued to it, 'cuz you're just compelled to continue to watch it.
Ian Ziering
People think I am America's party girl, which is just stupid. I have done 24 movies and I am creating my own TV show.
I'm not a macho guy. I'm very soft-spoken on the set. But I'm not really intimidated by the process of making movies.
Michael Lehmann
There was never anything else I wanted to pursue. It was always theater, and movies are a fairly new thing.
Ben Platt
I find Spike Jones' movies to be really very inventive and funny, but they're really sad and touching and really key into the different facets of the human experience.
