Lena Dunham interview
Seacrest interviews Dunham during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about why she wants to quite acting after the series Girls is over.
I don’t know if I’m going to want to act anymore. I’m always relieved on the days I don’t have to. I’d rather give parts to other women than be the woman having the parts.
Aloe Blacc interview
Seacrest interviews Blacc during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about the advise Dr. Dre gave him.
He said basically, that I could do better. I just needed to figure out a way to be as effective as a Marvin Gaye. Somebody who is able to be masculine and still represent music that crossed for women and men. I think I was able to do that with ‘The Man.
Kodaline interview
Seacrest interviews Kodaline during On Line With Ryan Seacrest and questions them about their collaboration with Harry Styles.
We played a show in LA and Harry Styles just turned up and said he was a big fan and had been listening to our music like all the time and we expected him to have like body guards but he’s just a really cool down to earth guy.
Adam Lambert interview
Seacrest interviews Lambert during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his tour with Queen.
I was talking to the Queen guys about this today when I first met them and the first couple times we took the stage together, it was good, it felt good, but just last year at the iHeartRadio Festival it just felt more grounded and evolved and we talked about a lot of reasons, but I feel more grounded.
Sarah Jessica Parker interview
Seacrest interviews Parker during On Air With Ryan Sacrest and questions her about where she got her fashion sense.
I grew up with a mother who had great appreciation for beautiful things. We could afford almost nothing, but she was very industrious and clever. We were always like the poorest family in the nicest neighborhood and we would go to church tag sales and buy things for like a dollar, so we had really lovely things, but they didn’t come to us in the typical way.
Ed Sheeran interview
Seacrest interviews Sheeran during On Air With Ryan Seacrest. During the interview, Seacrest asks him questions about his album, working with Elton John, and his American tour with Taylor Swift.
I was in America for 11-and-a-half months, which as an Englishman is quite a tough thing to do. I lived in Nashville for six months, I lived in L.A. for three months and New York for two.
Kristen Bell interview
Seacrest interviews Bell during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her campain to ban paparazzi from taking photos of children.
It just occurred to me no one was working on the demand side. So I wanted to start a conversation with people, much like when we all found out there is pink slime in our meat, no one wanted to eat it. When you find something nasty goes into procuring something for you as a consumer, your feelings about it change. I think people who look at pictures of kids, like kids. I don’t think they realize it actually creates a really unhealthy and unsafe environment for the child.
Pharrell Williams interview
Seacrest interviews Williams during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his collaboration on the single Girl with Miley Cyrus.
I love Miley. I’ll never forget telling you she’s on her way and there’s so much more there [than Hannah Montana] it was a pleasure having her on the record I wanted her tone and I felt her tone took it to the next level.
Wolfgang Puck interview
Seacrest interviews Puck during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about the Oscars Governors Ball Menu.
The host of the show is vegan. Ellen [DeGeneres] is a vegan, so we added more vegan dishes. But the main thing is people are hungry and they want comfort foods.
Kerry Washington interview
Seacrest interviews Washington during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her role on the TV show Scandal.
It just keeps getting better and better. It’s kind of nuts. There are things that happen in the next couple of episodes that had the entire room at our table read crying. Things that had us applauding and screaming and laughing. I mean, we are shocked at every table read.
Jimmy Kimmel interview
Seacrest interviews Kimmel during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his second child.
I don’t know if I’m ready to do this all over again. When I did it the first time around, I was a morning radio DJ, so I got up before they did. I actually woke them up to be fed, so this will be upsetting to my schedule.
The Vamps interview
Seacrest interviews The Vamps during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions them about what Taylor Swift taught them about the entertainment business.
First of all she was really confident when she was speaking to the audience. Second, her stage bond was also amazing, I think we strive to be that together on stage and thirdly, her crew was so friendly and welcoming. So, Taylor taught us a lot.
Jeff Probst interview
Seacrest interviews Probst during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about hosting the 28th season of Survivor.
Survivor is still a social experiment, that’s the question. So we were in casting and we saw we had a group of people that were really smart so just an idea in the room was what if we just put them all together? And then it fell into place because we have two cops and a former NFL player and that became the Brawn tribe and then we always have a model and a cheerleader and that type, so it was brains, brawn, and beauty and the question was: Three different skills you rely on in life, is one more valuable in a social game like Survivor?
Icona Pop interview
Seacrest interviews Icona Pop during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions them about being on tour with Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus.
We kind of forced our people to force them to have us on the tour, but we feel very honored.
Shakira interview
Seacrest interviews Shakira during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and asks her which The Voice co-host gets on her nerves the most.
Adam [gets on my nerves the most] because he’s so competitive! And Usher is like Switzerland, he’s a little more neutral. And Blake can get on my nerves too, but he’s too funny. But I think the chemistry is better than ever, it’s just great.
Seth Meyers interview
Seacrest interviews Meyers during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about why he’s not nervous to host Late Night With Seth Meyers.
I’m used to doing [“Weekend Update” on SNL] live, but I’m not used to doing this much of it. [With] ‘Weekend Update,’ you’re live at a desk 15 minutes a week and now it’s the bigger thing cause you know it’s live-ish in front of real people, but I think SNL is as good of training as possible.
Kevin Spacey interview
Seacrest interviews Spacey during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about why he is happy President Obama watches his show House Of Cards.
We did a spoof called House of Nerds so I knew he’d seen that. But I didn’t know if he watched the show, so I was quite delighted to find he does indeed watch it, and apparently he’s jealous of how much [my character] Frank Underwood gets done!
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje interview
Seacrest interviews Agbaje during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his role in the film Pompeii.
I went to what we call Gladiator Boot Camp. Four hours of working out a day for six days a week for four weeks prior to the movie. two hours of fight training, an hour of weight training, an hour with cardio coupled with an 1,800-calorie diet to keep our muscles bulked up and basically cut down the body.
Miguel interview
Seacrest interviews Miguel during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his single Adorn.
Every genre of music revolves around love even heavy metal so I kind of–(Well) I’m not the candlelight dude you know? What I mean is, I’m not the smoothest kind of guy. My lifestyle is not I’m such a smooth–I’m a musician, I’m an artist I make music I don’t pop bottles that’s not my thing. I want to highlight the album covers a range of my lifestyle.
Perrie Edwards interview
Seacrest interviews Edwards during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and asks her if she has gotten to know Demi Lovato while on her Neon Lights Tour.
We haven’t actually spent that much time with Demi at the minute but it’s because whenever we are getting ready, we have to go on and then when she’s getting ready, she goes on so we kind of miss each other a bit. But, hopefully, we’ll get together and we’ll hang out and she can give us advice and stuff because she’s been in the industry awhile now and she’s amazing.
