Elle Magazine interview
Kutcher gives interview to Elle about seeing his girlfriend Demi Moore with other men on film and if it bothers him.
In real life, I’m not jealous. But I can’t cope with watching her with another guy on film. As an actor, I know that any feelings you’re showing are manufactured. But I still don’t want to fool my mind into thinking she’s into another guy.
Abortion should be ‘legal, safe and rare’
Clinton says she believes abortion should remain a legal option but should be safe and rare. She adds that making alternatives acceptable will lower the number of abortions performed.
I think abortion should remain legal, but it needs to be safe and rare. And I have spent many years now, as a private citizen, as First Lady, and now as senator, trying to make it rare, trying to create the conditions where women have other choices. I have supported adoption, foster care. I helped to create the campaign against teenage pregnancy, which fulfilled our original goal 10 years ago of reducing teenage pregnancies by about a third. And I think we have to do even more.
Elle Magazine interview
Kimmel gives interview to Elle about who is his first crush.
Madonna. She burst onto the scene in 1984 about the same time as my penis—so it worked out perfectly. I’ve probably masturbated to Madonna thousands of times.
O Magazine interview
Chodron speaks to Winfrey in an interview for O Magazine about why she became a Buddhist priest.
I became involved in Buddhism in a way that’s very appealing to a lot of people because of the fact that their lives fall apart, and that’s what happened to me. When my second marriage broke up, it just floored me, but I had some kind of fundamental sanity that kept saying, There’s something very profound in this that will teach you something so I started looking for it. The first line of Chögyam Trungpa’s article Working with Negativity read, We all experience negativity the basic aggression of wanting things to be different than they are. Everything else was saying, Look at the positive side, and this said, Stay with your experience. That’s how it started.
O Magazine Interview
Field gives her thoughts on starring in the television show Gidget at 18 years of age:
When it aired in 1965, a season had 36 shows, which is huge. At 18 I didn’t see how the show was perceived. I barely had all my consciousness at that point, and I never read reviews or saw ratings. I had my own TV series, yet I’d never been on a plane or even been out of the state.
Alyssa Milano interview
Milano and the NBA help rebuild New Orleans. She talks to ABC26 News.
I think it’s unbelievable that the NBA does this.
O Magazine Interview
Pink speaks about the influence that his book, A Whole New Mind has had on people:
Some have written that the book made them think about why they’re here. And, interestingly, a lot of students tell me that they’re going to give A Whole New Mind to their parents. One student is passionate about art, but his mom wants him to get an MBA and become an accountant.
Elle Magazine interview
Wilson gives interview to Elle about something he wishes he could take back.
I’m going out of town. Will you babysit my cat? Back around 1990 in New York, I wanted to break up with a girl but I was going out of town for a week, and I was like, If I break up with her, I can’t ask her to cat-sit. So I came back, got my cat, then broke up with her. She then told everyone in New York what a heinous person I was.

Esquire interview
Samberg talks about his approach to comedy:
I think the goal of most comedy, just like most movies or television, is an escape from the mundane stuff in our life, and I’ve always found it worthwhile to make something completely stupid just to prove that you can. People in general are too stressed-out, even though most things are pretty ridiculous.
O Magazine interview
Washington speaks to Oprah in an interview for O Magazine about his role in The Great Debaters.
Man, it just moved me. I felt an emotional connection. What I learned while doing research for the film is that many black colleges, like Wiley and Morehouse, opened during the decade following the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation. That’s because education was believed to be the way out, so when millions of black people were finally let go after almost 250 years, boom, we opened schools. And that’s partly why Melvin Tolson’s debate team was able to beat these other national teams in the ’30s: Great thinkers such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Melvin B. Tolson couldn’t teach at schools like Harvard or Columbia. But the film is really about the kids and the journey of one boy in particular.
O Magazine Interview
Washington talks about his reaction when reading the script for the movie The Great Debators:
The reaction you had in the screening room is the one I had. Man, it just moved me. I felt an emotional connection. What I learned while doing research for the film is that many black colleges, like Wiley and Morehouse, opened during the decade following the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation.
Esquire interview
Depp talks about working on the set of the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:
We were doing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and I was on the set. We were shooting, working, working, working. All great. Everything’s cool. One of my pals comes up and says, Helena [Bonham Carter, Burton’s partner] just called. When you get a moment, she’d like you to give her a call back. Okay, I say. As soon as I’m done on set, I’ll go back to my trailer and give her a call. So I go back to the trailer, call Helena, and say, Hey, what’s going on? I thought maybe Helena had a question about little boys because Billy was a little baby then and I’ve got two kids. So I say, Is everything all right? And she says, Billy’s fine. Everything’s fine. But, well, you know how Tim is.
Vanessa Williams interview
Williams talks to DeGeneres on The Ellen DeGeneres Show about Williams’ Allure magazine nude layout.
At 44-years-old they called and I answered.
O Magazine Interview
Branson gives his thoughts on founding Virgin Airlines:
I was young and inexperienced. At first I wasn’t even allowed to register the business name because the word virgin was thought to be rude. I had to sit down and, in my best 15-year-old penmanship, write a letter to the registry office that began, Surely the word virgin is anything but rude; it’s the opposite of rude. They eventually relented.
Maxim Interview
David gives his thoughts about narrating the documentary The War:
I learned that the world is still reeling from the impact of World War II—how we went into the war, how we came out of it, and how we’ve dealt with it since. It was very interesting to track the war’s effect through the eyes of our elders. I was proud that these veterans could tell their stories.
Elle Magazine interview
Reilly gives interview to Elle Magazine about sex advice from his dad.
My family was too Catholic to actually talk about embarrassing stuff like that. Even with my parents, there was none of this Let’s have the talk. I was just turned loose in my neighborhood and figured it out by finding rain-soaked Playboys behind the liquor store. But my dad did give me what was honestly the best advice I ever got. He said, Look, it’s just as hard, if not harder, to do the wrong thing as to do the right thing. So save yourself the energy, and do the right thing in the first place.
Serena Williams interview
Serena makes an appearance on the UK talk show, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross to talk about her current rankings, being competitive with her sister, and her fitness routine.
When I was three and four years old I worked just as hard as Roger Federer.
O Magazine interview
Seinfeld speaks to Winfrey in an interview for O Magazine about producing Bee Movie.
I asked Steven Spielberg to direct a commercial I was going to make for American Express. I’d never met him, but I thought, What the hell why don’t I call? I’m Jerry Seinfeld, I’m not just nobody. [Laughs] Steven says, I can’t do it, but why don’t we have dinner tomorrow in East Hampton? I say, That sounds great. Then I hang up the phone and go, Oh my God! I’m a Jewish boy from Long Island, and I’m having dinner with Steven Spielberg! It was like my second Bar Mitzvah.
[At dinner] when we started talking about kids we were off to the races, but then the conversation ground to a halt. It happens to the best of us. As an entertainer, that’s when I kick into gear and say something witty to jump-start the conversation. The night before, I was sitting with a couple of friends, eating a Twizzler, and I said, What if somebody did a film called Bee Movie, and it was about bees? So during the dinner with Steven, I said this to relieve the lull we’d just crashed into. I figured, he’s a director, he’ll relate to the term B movie. But he didn’t laugh; he fixed his eyes on me and said, We’re going to make that movie. I was like, What do you mean we, Kemosabe? He said it was a great idea, and when he gets excited, it’s almost scary. He can get everyone else in the room excited! You don’t meet older people like that too often. It’s wonderful.
O Magazine Interview
Seinfeld gives his thoughts on ending his NBC sitcom Seinfeld:
My managers and I still wonder: Did we stop at the right time? Before we ended the show, Jack Welch [former CEO of General Electric, which owns NBC] told me, Your ratings are still rising. Yes, I said, but the only way to see the end of a hill is to go past it and realize you’re going down.
