I don’t read the script a zillion times, I don’t like to analyze things and my mind can go there very easily.

I think they should take everyone who works for The National Enquirer and The Star, and everyone who works for Us Weekly, and put them all to work looking for terrorists. I think they would find the terrorists. All of them. It would be genius!

I have always seen myself as one of those ‘show people’. My earliest memories are wanting and needing to entertain people, like a gypsy traveler who goes from place to place, city to city, performing for audiences and reaching people.

Jonah Hill

Born: December 20, 1983 in Los Angeles, California, USA

It wasn’t the baseball or the numbers I connected to. It was the obsessiveness. Bennett [Miller] said that the way we talk about actors and roles and movies with each other is the way my character should be able to talk to Brad’s about baseball. It’s what we do all the time about movies-we analytically shit-talk everybody’s strengths and weaknesses! Everybody I know does that. So that was my in.

My heroes are Bill Murray and Dustin Hoffman. Those are the two actors that both do comedies and dramas, seamlessly. Also John C. Reilly and Philip Seymour Hoffman. They’re all just great actors, neither comedic nor dramatic. They’re just great actors.

Jenny Agutter

Married to: Johan Tham (4 August 1990 – present) (1 child)

[on living and working in Los Angeles] Los Angeles is like a desert. The only thing that exists is the work you do. You have that sense of living a precarious existence.

To make films is as boring as watching paint dry. You usually have to do tiny bits here and there. You go off waiting for lighting, you come back – the energy dies. You hope you can find someone who can keep it going.

Todd Phillips

Born: December 20, 1970 in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, USA

[ on Ed Helms] It’s been said comedy is not action, it’s reaction, and Ed is the KIng of Reaction. Ed, when he wakes up and sees his tattoo on his face or his tooth is missing, or at the end of the movie – no one does reaction better than Ed. He’s the unsung hero of these movies.

The worst thing you can do as a comedy director is be on set and think of something ridiculous, or an actor comes up to you with something ridiculous, and you say ‘No, no that’s too much.’ Let’s not worry if that’s too much, let’s shoot it, and then decide if that’s too much when we see it.

Joanna ‘JoJo’ Levesque

Born: December 20, 1990 in Brattleboro, Vermont, USA

[on her experience in school]: “I got along with some people, but a lot of kids disliked me in school. I’d be doing TV since I was six, and I think they thought that I thought I was better than them. That was never the case—I didn’t even talk about TV in school! I’d be walking down the hall, and they would yell at me or push me into the wall. It really hurt. So I was afraid to go to school. I would stay in the guidance counselor’s office for lunch, just because I didn’t feel like I had a place.”

John Spencer (1946–2005)

Born: December 20, 1946 in New York City, New York, USA
Died: December 16, 2005 (age 58) in Los Angeles, California, USA

They [his parents] wanted me to be educated — a doctor or a lawyer. They weren’t happy that I chose the arts. They wanted me to have a good life. It’s ironic that I made the leap in a different way.

[Upon winning an Emmy for his role in The West Wing] I’ve never wanted to do anything but act. It saved my life, it’s the reason I get up in the morning, it’s my opiate. The prize for me was always getting the next gig so I could do this wonderful thing that I love. So this, my friends, is deliciously redundant.
