[on Julie Andrews] It’s marvelous to direct her. She’s enormously professional and understands that in the final analysis the last word is mine. Actually, working with Julie on a film is a whole lot easier than working with many people that I’m not married to!

[on media coverage of him]: As long as my face is on page one, I don’t care what they say about me on page seventeen.

I’d rather be dead than singing “Satisfaction” when I’m forty-five.

jeremypiven.jpgJeremy Piven

Born: July 26, 1965 in Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA

[on how to make an impression in small roles] From the get-go, I’d keep talking and never stop. Literally, I would take single lines and just keep going. In Runaway Jury (2003), there are so many great actors but I got lucky because I’m standing next to Dustin Hoffman! That’s the secret; Get next to him and they can’t cut you out!

John Cusack and I have been friends since childhood, and the fact that we’re in so many films together is, no pun intended, serendipitous. I audition and, after I find out I’ve got the job, I call Johnny and say “Hey, man, we’re going to be in New Orleans together”. And because we’ve done a bunch of films, people connect the dots. But that’s not the case.

Happy Birthday: Elizabeth Gillies

festreviews Happy Birthday, Uncategorized , ,

elizabethgillies.jpgElizabeth Gillies

Born: July 26, 1993 in Haworth, New Jersey, USA

Best friends with her Victorious (2010) co-star, Ariana Grande. They’ve known each other since they starred in 13 (musical) on Broadway back in 2008.

QUOTES:

I like growing up; I feel like I have an old soul. I like the age to match as much as it can.

My two big date deal breakers are someone with no sense of humor and someone who chews badly. I will never be with someone who never laughs or someone who chews disgustingly, so if either of those things are detected on a date – it’s a total deal breaker.

I think dealing with mean girls is just a part of life. I never really took people like that too seriously.

Once you lose the honesty in a relationship, I mean, I think you don’t have a relationship at all.

If you’re passionate about something and stick with it, even if your friends aren’t doing it, it’ll pay off. It can be really rewarding to stick to your guns.

If someone’s being less than courteous to you, I don’t think you need to pay any attention to them.
