Seacrest interviews Barrymore during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about Safe Kids Organization.

As a parent, when I’m not on Japanese food tours, my highest priority in life above everything is doing the best for and by my kids. I think we think a lot and live a lot by bringing our kids up safely. But there’s so much about keeping your kids safe in a logistical, pragmatic, new studies, latest research, laws-changing way that will be the biggest game-changer in a parent’s life…It has to do with everything from the message being put into your brain of, you never leave your child unattended in a bathtub. When are the shots important? I didn’t have parents that I could look to and ask those questions. So these current standards on the safety of children, I think, are so incredibly done by this organization.

Seacrest interviews during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about directing the film Just Before I Go.

I wanted to direct this particular movie because it makes you laugh out loud. It’s really, really funny and it’s also really touching. It’s about a guy who wants to end his life and I know it sounds sad he goes back to his hometown to right some wrongs with the people he thinks are responsible for him being in his place. And as he does, he realizes that everyone has problems and he has this big epiphany. It’s a really beautiful, heartwarming story, but it’s laugh out loud funny.

Seacrest interviews Lambert during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about the lyrics to his single Ghost Town. 

It’s a bit bittersweet. It’s a bit melancholy. It’s kind of about life always not being exactly what you think it’s going to be, but trying to kind of get through it and make the most of it and be the best person you can be but it’s not always easy. Our dreams aren’t always what we think they’re going to be.

Seacrest interviews Hiam during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about listing to the single Pray To God on the radio.

We were like, Ok, we’re going to turn on the car and pray to God that Pray to God is going to be on KIIS FM. When I turned on my car and it was on, we all freaked out. We called Este, my mom was crying, my dad was throwing confetti in the air. It was a big moment in the Haim household…Growing up, the radio was it still is the most massive part of our lives because we’re always in our cars. I think people around the world, whenever they ask us, ‘What are you inspired by?’ We’re always like, ‘Los Angeles radio because that’s what we listened to growing up.

Seacrest interviews Kaskade during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about encouraging his kids dreams.

My family was always supportive with [me saying] ‘Hey, I want to make music when I grow up,’ so I will be the same way [for my kids]. They’ll be here this week at Coachella with me, so who knows what that will inspired.

Seacrest interviews Shelton during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about hosting the ACM Awards.

I don’t know if you’ve been in that stadium yet or not, but it’s bigger than the county that I lived in in Oklahoma. It’s the 50th anniversary of the show, so there’s going to be a lot of surprises [Luke and I] have [brought] a good level of immaturity. That’s what we need in music these days.

Seacrest interviews Rancic during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her controversial red carpet statement in which she says actress Zendaya’s dreadlocks lookes like she might smell of patchouli oil and weed, causing cast members Kelly Osbourne and Kathy Griffin to quit The Fashion Police. 

It’s kind of crazy. Look, it was a tough season to do, obviously without Joan Rivers there. She was the driving forced behind Fashion Police. It just didn’t work. There were all sorts of issues right from the beginning. Then when the whole incident happened with the Oscars show obviously everything imploded form that point on. It’s been sad to watch and it’s been really hard to live through. The past six weeks have been very tough for all of us.

Honestly, you’d have to ask her [Kelly Osbourne] I don’t know [why she quit]. I haven’t spoken to Kelly since the night that show aired. She and I got on the phone and I was like, ‘Kelly what’s going on?’ And she’s like, ‘I don’t know’. I’ve known Kelly a long time, so obviously she was being very friendly and supporting that night. Then, everything just went crazy from there.

Seacrest interviews Frankel during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about returning to Real House Wives Of New York. 

I came back because I missed the connection the connection with the audience, that is I missed the freedom. I had to accept that I really am kind of a professional reality star. I mean, this genre is great for me because it’s liberating and you can kind of say what you want, and do whatever you, and be whoever you want, [and] express yourself. I really do miss that.

Seacrest interviews Eastwood during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his role as Luke Collins in the film The Longest Ride.

What’s really special about this movie is, it’s about life and the choices we make and relationships. I think it’s different from some of the other [Nicholas Sparks movies]. It’s really grounded in reality. I think it’s one of his better ones in recent years. Nothing can prepare you for riding a bull. It’s probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever done.

Seacrest interviews Sparks during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his film The Longest Rid. 

I grew up with it [ranching]. I watched it, and then my sister married a guy who had been in a rodeo and lived on a cattle ranch. So the ranch in the novel is pretty much the ranch my sister lived on and here we are.

Seacrest interviews Phillippe during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his role as a murder suspect in the TV series Secrets And Lies. 

The show goes to some dark places, but there is kind of a sense of fun to it all. What I’m really enjoying is the social media reaction. On Twitter, people like theorizing who did it or who didn’t, telling me how frustrated they are with my character’s choices and how they’re yelling at the TV.

Seacrest interviews Price Is Right model Arbelaez during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about how she accidentally helped a contestant win a car.

So I went ahead and revealed the first one, [and] I just went on autopilot [and had a] brain fart, completely. After I heard the [buzzer for] the wrong answer, then automatically what we do after that sound is reveal the remaining tags, so the viewers can see which one was the right one. And that’s what I did, ignoring completely that she had two more chances [to guess].

I was the only person that was mortified. [Drew Carey] thought it was hilarious I was in tears, I was mortified. I was like, it’s a big mistake and if I lose my job over this I get it. The producers came to me and they were laughing it up. They thought it was hilarious, they thought it was great.

Seacrest interviews Bieber during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about the Comedy Central Roast Of Justin Bieber.

What made me to really want to do was having people close to me do it. Because Ludacris has been close to me for so many years, and Shaquille O’Neal and Kevin Hart. A couple of them I didn’t know, but most of them were close to me, so I knew it was all out of fun.

Seacrest interviews Ludacris during On Air With Ryan Seacrest, about his album Ludaversal. 

A lot of artists aren’t even able to make it to No. 2, so I’m extremely blessed and just thankful that everyone is receiving it so well and the feedback on the album has been phenomenal, man. It was a hell of a lot of fun because I took out three or four years to take a break kind of just to live some life again, to get inspired, to have more to talk about, and this is just like the rebirth. So again, it almost feels like album No. 1 for me because that hunger, that passion, that drive, the tone you hear it in all of those songs.

Seacrest interviews Duff during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her role in the TV show Younger. 

I play this girl, Kelsey Peters, who is pretty motivated and driven in her work life and her personal choices are questionable. So, it’s fun to play that for me The show is all about reinventing yourself, and if and when you get stuck in a rut, or in that wheel of life where you’re just going and not really happy, the show is kind of challenging that. F- it, we can do it.

Seacrest interviews Piven during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his role as Harry Selfridge in the TV series Mr Selfridge. 

He was an incredible character. Between nine and five, he was brilliant. At night, he could be a disaster. He loved to gamble and cheated on his wife, and yet, [he] came to his senses. It’s a cautionary tale [and] it’s the best work that I’ve ever done. It’s challenging when you’re on a station that is funded by the people. They don’t have any money to advertise. So, it’s up to me to be a one-man band. And it’s almost like a pop culture experiment to see how long it takes to possibly break a show with just one man. And I feel like the tide is turning.

Seacrest interviews Lopez during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her single Feel The Light. 

I didn’t write the song. The song was written by Stargate and it was written for the movie Home. And it was the one that they thought that I should do. I just feel really lucky because I think it’s an amazing song. My kids love it and that’s all that really matters.

Seacrest interviews Jonas during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about hosting the Kids Choice Awards and being the shows opening performer.

It’s pretty wild. The people from Nickelodeon love slime more than anything else in the world. And they love watching people having to kind of deal with it afterwards. I’m going to be singing Chains and it’s a really incredible open to the show. I don’t want to give anything away, but I am sort of integrated in the beginning in some way. So be watching from the start. This is obviously going to be the biggest and best night of music. I’m thrilled to be a part of the show.

Seacrest interviews Amoruso during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her Nasty Gal line.

Nothing that I sold on Nasty Gal was stolen. Stealing was when I was pre-deciding to be an entrepreneur. I was like, I don’t like working for other people, f- the system. I’m going to steal CDs from Starbucks and sell them on Amazon. I guess that was like my first foray into entrepreneur-ism and the first stuff I did sell online was stolen. But it was long before I started Nasty Gal, and I learned the hardest way that that doesn’t pay off.
