Seacrest interviews Smith during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his role in the film Focus. 

When I first got the screenplay for Focus and then Margot got cast and Jada looked up Margot online and saw that she was 23-years-old and in perfect condition, Jada looked at me and said, ‘Boy you need to go to the gym right now’…He (Apollo Robbins) had circumstances in the past that he wouldn’t discuss, he’s turned over a new leaf, but he is an absolute genius. What he was explaining to us about the concept of Focus. He said, ‘Ok, this is what we do,’ and he had me walk into a store and steal a pack of gum and walk out. It’s like jumping out of an airplane. It’s such a bizarre thrill.

Seacrest interviews Martin during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his Latino reality show La Banda. 

This is very interesting: the audience is going to dictate who is going to move forward to the next step. The audience is going to dictate what artist is going to go and meet us the judges. So that is something that has never happened in a reality show. The power of the masses, the power of the fans, they are going to say who is going to be in the show.

Seacrest interviews Robinson during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his role in the film Hot Tub Time Machine Two. 

What my characters does is he take songs that should have been released and he gets the melody right, but he doesn’t quite get the words right. And he’s conflicted over that. He’s conflicted over his originality issues.

Seacrest interviews Puck during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his menu for the Governors Ball.

I ran out of bread. so what better way to replace it with pizza dough? So I baked the pizza with some onions, I put a little creme fraiche, and smoked salmon on top of the little caviar. So it’s not such a bad thing!

Seacrest interviews Millan during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about dog training and how to stop your dog from tackling you as soon as you get home from work.

This is what I would suggest to people to build as a habit: First you enter into your house and ask for calmness. But first you ask the dog to be calm, then you ask the dog to be excited, then you finish with calmness. That way you have the two worlds: the calm world and the excited world.

Seacrest interviews Ora during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her role as Mia Grey in the film 50 Shades Of Grey. 

It was the best experience ever and it’s such a great kind of opener for me to kind of get into the Hollywood movies. It’s just a really, really fun experience, and the soundtrack is awesome.

Seacrest interviews West during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about the Grammy controversy when he ran on stage during Beck’s acceptance speech for album of the year.

Well first of all, Beck is one of the nicest guys and one of the most respected musicians in the game. So, there’s nothing that I will want to do as a fellow musician to disrespect him in any way. And the weird thing is like, and I don’t feel like I have the right to take away from people’s moments, but the reality of it is and case in point by who came up to me right afterwards is it’s almost like a chiropractor. You know, you just get a little crook out like, Wow, this crook has been there! It’s just a little jolt of truth, right? And then you know, everyone feels better after the fact, or everyone is way more famous after the fact, or everyone sells way more albums after the fact, and then Kanye just goes on being an a**hole to everyone.

Seacrest interviews West during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his shoe collaboration with Adidas Yeezy 750 Boost. Retailing at $350 dollars, Kanye promises there will be no violence due to under stocking of his shoes.

I just want people to be safe and patient. I know you can run up on this 14-year-old kid and take his Yeezys, but just be patient because we’ll make more Yeezys. Eventually, everybody who wants to get Yeezys will get Yeezys. Adidas has promised me that because there’s so many kids that wanted them, but couldn’t get them. And I talked to the heads at Adidas and they said, ‘We can make them’… Like when I was growing up, kids wanted Jordans. Kids got killed for Jordans. Now that I’m in a position, I’m going to make sure everyone gets Yeezys.

Seacrest interviews Stewart during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about writing and directing his film Rosewater. The film is about the life and capture of Maziar Bahari by Iranian forces.

He was an Iranian journalist that we met when we sent somebody to Iran to cover the new Axis of Evil. And he spoke with us, along with a couple of other people, and the Iranian officials arrested him in 2009 and showed him the piece he did with our stupid show as evidence that he was a spy. And they kept him in solitary for 118 days. So I thought, ‘Jeez, I could either give him a gift certificate to like a Baskin Robins, or maybe make a movie about him?’ I had to make it up somehow.

Seacrest interviews Justice during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her role in the MTV series Eye Candy. 

It’s a very different role than anything I’ve ever done, which is why it was so exciting for me. I play this computer hacker girl who is on a mission and she also has a lot of emotional back story. My sister was abducted in the first episode and it’s my mission to find her.

Seacrest interviews Lopez during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her role in the film The Boy Next Door. 

When I read the script, I liked the character because I felt it was very related. She’s a woman in a long marriage, her husband just cheated on her, and she’s kind of at the lowest point in her life. She’s at that moment and then this guy comes along the boy next door shows up and starts making her feel like she is worth something. That she is desirable in some way and reminds her because she’s feeling the total opposite in that moment. And then of course, [she] makes a mistake and crosses the line and it changes their lives forever. But I really did love [how] she’s strong, but she’s vulnerable at the same time.

I’m an evil villain with a hint of fun. I hope people go out to see it because it’s adorable. The book series has been a massive hit in the UK and Australia, that’s where the book is really famous. In terms of here in America, a few people know, but we’re trying to educate people because he’s really a sweet bear.

Hart gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his role in The Wedding Ringer. 

I love it because it’s the first time I got to play a character of this level. Not only am I funny, but I’m responsible for driving the story. And there are emotional levels as well. It’s refreshing to see me in this light.

Howard gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his role as Lucious Lyon in the TV series Empire. 

Altogether, (the show) is addressing some of the crazy issues that we get to look at in this world. The amount of drama that enters (in the show), and then having a gay son. I mean, I’m Archie Bunker. My character is not homophobic, my character is a bigot. He hates white people and he hates homosexuals. He loves his son, but he hates his lifestyle.

Will.i.am gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his fifth studio album The End. 

This new project, Taboo called me and was like, Yo Will, I think it’s that time again, and I’m like, You’re right. So we’ve just been sitting around going through our hard drives and archives of things that we’ve put out, things that we haven’t put out, we’ve been dreaming of why we come back. A 20-year anniversary is important, but more importantly, how we come back. We’ve anticipated the whole arc: the emotion, the connection, the discovery, the shock and awe, the conversation. We’ve been cooking stuff up, man. Our stuff is as mysterious as Donald Trump’s toupee.

Minaj gives an interview with Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her album The Pink Print. 

It was really frustrating because I wanted to put it out since the summer time, but now looking back, I understand why I needed to take that time just as a woman. I was going through so many changes in my life professionally and personally. And it was good for me to just take a month, come back, write, reflect, take a month, come back, write, reflect, and now what The Prinkprint represents for me is a brand new chapter. Like something that I kind of put a lid on.

Charli XCX gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her album Sucker. 

The record’s kind of punk-inspired. And it’s partially a comment on the record industry as a whole and how the whole place is basically like a circus. I’m part of it, but not part of it. It’s like a bizarre place.

Stiller gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about working with Robin Williams in Night At The Museum: Seacrest Of The Tomb. 

I just feel really lucky that I had a chance to work with him at all. I was always a fan, since I was 12 or 13 from Mork & Mindy. He was a genius. So for me to have the chance to work with him. the first one, remember when we were making the first one and Shawn Levy, the director, said, We want to ask Robin Williams to be Teddy Roosevelt. I was like, Oh my God, that’s the best idea in the world. And I remember thinking, If he says no, we can’t do the movie because he is the perfect guy for that. And then he said yes and it was so exciting for me to have a chance to work with him. I felt like a fan around him. I never really lost that feeling.

Seacrest interviews Johns during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his role in the film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. 

I play the role as Felix, and I’m basically going to school and I’m a big prankster, but I take a prank too far. And I end up getting expelled, but I’m convincing my parents that I’m still going to school and I end up doing twice the work I would’ve done if I just did my work in school.

Dawson gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her role in the film Top Five. 

I was really nervous about having to be funny. Chris said, Don’t worry about it, we got the funny covered, just bring us the drama. He let me have a lot of input with my character because I had a lot of ideas for her. And it was really nice to just put energy into this character and make her come alive. It really brought out a lot of me. I’m really grateful for it. Including my comedy, he got me to be funny, which is unbelievable.
