The Dan Patrick Show interview
Fredette comments on why he declined a pre-draft workout for the Milwaukee Bucks:
I haven’t been a huge part of making the schedule. I’ve talked to my agents a little bit. We felt like it’s probably not as good of a fit for me as these other teams. I think a lot of it’s that they have a great point guard already, a really young point guard in Brandon Jennings and a guy that they’re probably going to build their franchise around. He’s worthy of that; he’s a very good player. They drafted him high and he’s a great player in this league. We felt like it was a better fit for me in terms of these other teams.
People cover
Hebert appears on the cover of People after feeling blindsided by a shocking betrayal. She discusses how she felt after finding out Womack’s ill intentions towards her.
I’m extremely humiliated. And though he’d also quipped on-camera that he’d “rather be swimming in pee than plan a wedding with Ashley,” it was the Emily comparison that truly stung. When he called me an ugly duckling, that’s just too much. He had intentions to really hurt me-and he did.
Elle Magazine interview
Bacon gives interview to Elle about the naked gay party scene in the film JFK with Tommy Lee Jones.
That was my first day. Oliver Stone introduces me to a boy who’s dressed like a Nubian slave and says, Maybe you guys could just be kissing? And I was like, Dude, I don’t even know this kid. I don’t think so. Luckily, there was porn playing in the background on an eight-millimeter projector, so I said, How would you feel about me just watching that and playing with myself? And he said, Oh, that’s good. No, that’s better.
Esquire interview
Upton discusses her body maturing:
I don’t really know what the appeal is about… boobs. But I do know that when I was in junior high, I used to be made fun of — for being flat-chested. Everyone would go, She’s not pretty! She doesn’t have boobs! So I always had boob envy. And when finally I went through my growth spurt, and they appeared, and I just… I loved them. So that’s why I like boobs, because I didn’t have them, and then I got ’em. So I dunno what the appeal is for you.
Bloomberg interview
In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Graham says, to succeed, startups must improve lives.
[Startups] have to make something that actually makes people’s lives better. It’s funny how straightforward it is. People often think that business requires some sort of trickery, or you have to corner the market or something like that, but actually you have to make people’s lives better.
He says that startups should not fear competition from companies like Apple and says that out of hundreds of companies he has funded only one (Kiko’s calendar app) was killed by competition.
I spend a lot more time telling people to stop thinking about their competitors, than I do telling them to think about their competitors as a way to work harder. People who are good have this inner drive that makes them work hard anyway. The really successful companies don’t spend a lot of time obsessing about their competitors.
Joe Polish interview
ILoveMarketing.com podcast creator Joe Polish interviews Branson:
I’m not sure that somebody would know they’re an entrepreneur from the beginning, they’ll have a desire a difference to other people’s lives and they’ll see that something’s frustrating them, there’s a gap in the market and they’ll believe they can do it better themselves, and they’ll fill that gap in the market.
Esquire interview
Huntsman talks about troops from the United States withdrawing from Afghanistan:
If you can’t define a winning exit strategy for the American people, where we somehow come out ahead, then we’re wasting our money, and we’re wasting our strategic resources.It’s a tribal state, and it always will be. Whether we like it or not, whenever we withdraw from Afghanistan, whether it’s now or years from now, we’ll have an incendiary situation… Should we stay and play traffic cop? I don’t think that serves our strategic interests.
W Magazine cover
Aguilera appears on the cover of the July 2011 issue of W Magazine. She talks about her divorce with Jordan Bratman.
At one time or another we were not angels. It got to a point where our life at home was reminding me of my own childhood I will not have my son grow up in a tension-filled home. I knew there would be a negative reaction in the press to my divorce, but I am not going to live my life because of something someone might say.
The Art of Wrestling interview
Kendrick is a guest on The Art of Wrestling to discuss success in wrestling.
Do I go out there my whole life and think I’m a bad wrestler because I couldn’t make it in WWE or do I see there are two people who don’t like me? Dixie Carter and Vince McMahon. The people in ROH like me.
New York Times profile
Carter is profiled in NYT’s Dealbook. He talks about the upcoming launch of Backplane and the convergence of music and technology.
Technology has long been the driver of growth in the music business from the invention of lacquers, eight-track players, vinyl, cassettes and CDs. In order to continue the growth we have to go back to embracing technology and the way that people choose to consume music.

Huffington Post interview
Corcoran talks about two key moments in her business career. She realized there was more money in selling than renting:
One was when I accidentally sold an apartment rather than renting it. I was just planning to rent the apartment when the young engineer said that he wanted to buy, that’s what got me in the sales business. It wasn’t a big plan.
She later made enough profit to buy her parents cars:
The other wonderful thing that happened was one year I actually had $80,000 in profits. Probably had maybe 500 salespeople and I thought to myself, ‘I’ve got enough money to buy my mother and my father a new car.’ So, I bought him a Lincoln Continental — hey, what the heck, my dad dreamt about it his whole life — and I replaced my mother’s old rickety, old blue whatever-the-heck-it-was. And so, the idea that you could buy each of your parents a new car in one week and have it delivered was mindboggling, and I ended up going, ‘Whoa, maybe my business is actually a business.’
Esquire interview
Keller talks about the difficulties of being an executive editor for The New York Times:
There’s a lot of stuff they don’t teach you in the mythical editors’ school. They don’t teach you that you’re going to have to spend a lot of your life in crisis management. It’s been a fair amount of that — every kind of crisis you can imagine, starting with a crisis of morale and credibility that I inherited.
Essence cover
Knowles appears on the cover of Essence magazine to discuss taking a break from making music and doing things that felt good to her soul.
I had talked about taking a vacation before, but always ended up in the studio after two weeks, so no one believed me. This time, though, I was serious. I was going to give myself a year to do the things I never get to do. Simple things like play with my nephew, pick him up from school, visit museums, go to concerts, see some Broadway shows, learn to cook a meal and spend time with my husband… Yes, I needed some relaxation, but I wanted inspiration too, from regular everyday things. They did not have to be over-the-top productions. I was looking for tiny moments that would speak to my heart and make me smile.

Swift appears on the cover of the June 2011 issue of In Style magazine. She talks about what she wants in the future and love
There are no rules when it comes to love. I just try to let love surprise me because you never know who you’re going to fall in love with. You never know who’s going to come into your life – and for me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don’t think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I’m with them.
Flare cover
Lawrence appears on the cover of the June 2011 issue of Flare magazine. She talks about being a wild child, her athletic build, and Oscar parties.
I went to the Vanity Fair [Oscar] party for a cool 15 minutes. And then I took off. I’m like a little old lady. I’m always tired around midnight! I mean, it was cool to see Elton John, and I met Billy Crystal, which was amazing, but yeah, I’m mostly just kind of uncomfortable.
Allure cover
Jones appears on the cover of the June 2011 issue of Allure magazine. She talks about her apartment, the wardrobe of her photo shoot, and why she broke up with her boyfriend.
When you date someone else who’s in the industry, someone has to make the sacrifices. And if no one’s willing to, then you just have to be friends. ‘I’m sorry, I need to go away for three months and kiss other men while you stay here.’
