Antonio Banderas interview

0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Banderas during On Air With Ryan Seacrest on Ricky Gervais jokes about Banderas accent.

I understand that I have an accent. I learned English when I was 31-years old, that particular moment I felt that I should revindicate the Spanish language and then just recite a poem from a play that I did many years ago from Calderón de la Barca. He tells us the poem actually about taking someone prisoner. So, he says it was literally directed to Ricky.

Adam Lambert interview

Seacrest interviews Lambert during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about the meaning behind the title of his album Trespassing.

On one level, I wanted the people listening to feel like they were Trespassing into my world. Getting a closer glimpse in to what makes me tick, and who I am. Not just be the person you see in the tabloids or the person you see on ‘American Idol’, but the full real person.

Joe Biden interview

0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Biden during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his advise to college students.

What we’ve done is increased the commitment to the community colleges by $25 billion federally. That’s number one. Secondly, you will find what’s happening in your county I expect, community colleges are now partnering with businesses who are looking for employees. For example, I just was with Siemens. Siemens is a gigantic corporation. They had a choice to spend half a billion dollars to build a plant in China or in North Carolina. They chose North Carolina. They did it for a whole range of reasons, but one of them is to be able to partner with the community colleges where they went in and helped them set up tech programs, where they guarantee internships and then jobs for anybody who passes through the program. Number three, what we’ve done is seen to it that you are now able to afford to go to there [community college], but you either qualify for a Pell Grant, you qualify for a direct loan, [or] you qualify for a tax write off if you’re doing it yourself at 28. You can write off the cost of the bulk of that education. College tuition has gone up in the last ten years over 280+% more than healthcare and so, there are a lot of things that these universities and community colleges can do to bring cost down by modernizing.

Katherine Heigl interview

0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Heigl during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about if she regrests leaving Grey’s Anatomy. 

I would love to at least go back for a handful of episodes to just sort of see where she’s [Izzie] at, see what she’s up to, and sort of resolve her relationship with Alex. I get very jealous if I ever watch the show and Alex is with somebody else. I just think Izzie needs to come back in and claim her man.

Nick Jonas interview

Seacrest interviews Jonas during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about when his fans can expect new music from him.

Here’s what I will say. Once I’m kind of up and running in the show and feeling comfortable I’d say that my brothers and I are definitely going to start writing again. It’s been a while. It’s going to have been three years at that point which is obviously the longest stretch we’ve ever gone without releasing [music]. But we’ll start writing, and get more into it and hopefully we have something out for our fans. If not later this year, maybe next year.

I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out. It means too much to my kids and they ask a lot. And it means something to me too to make that commitment.

Demián Bichir interview

Seacrest interviews Bichir during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about auditioning for the film New Moon. 

[I was] auditioning for New Moon but it was not in my plans to be a vampire or anything. Then we started talking about this gardener, you know, and he began telling me the story, and so I got a little bit confused.  I didn’t know if he was a vampire gardener, and just trimming the bushes by night! And then he was about this story, A Better Life, that I read a year later, and I found a beautiful story and amazing character.

Daniel Radcliffe interview

Seacrest interviews Radcliffe during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about rumors that he didn’t get along with Rupert Grint.

Rupert and I never text, we never have in 10 years of filming. We are crappy at texting each other back and we both know that’s how the other person is and we just accept it. The next time I see Rupert we will sit down next to each other and chat and it will be like old times. Me and Rupert are very, very good friends it’s just that we are not constantly texting each other.

Channing Tatum interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Tatum during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about his latest film The Vow. 

It is an emotional movie at certain times, but it definitely has a good ending.

Jane Carrey interview

Seacrest interviews Carrey during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about being voted off American Idol.

I know I can do way better than that so I’m really disappointed. He [Jim Carrey] has gone through a gamut of rejection before he got where he was. It kind of lights the fire underneath you has gotten me in a go mode.

Courteney Cox interview

0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Cox during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about joining Twitter for the first time.

Twitter is hard, there’s pressure. You can say, ‘Hi’ to people, but then you have to think of kind of interesting things to take pictures of. I’ve laid in bed and woke up with my dog sitting on my head and thought, ‘Well, this is what I am doing now that I don’t have a job,’ and then I take a picture of it and it’s in every magazine!

Madonna interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Madonna during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about M.I.A rising her middle finger during the Super Bowl half time performance.

I was really surprised. I didn’t know anything about it. I wasn’t happy about it. I understand it’s punk rock and everything, but to me there was such a feeling of love and good energy, and positivity it seemed negative. It’s such a teenager irrelevant thing to do there was such a feeling of love and unity there what was the point? It was just out of place.

Nicki Minaj interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Minaj during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about performing Roman Holiday at the Grammys.

The Grammys chose ‘Roman Holiday.’ The producers of the Grammys came into the studio, and they heard ‘Roman Holiday’ and I could not play them another record after they heard that. I could have chosen to do a no-brainer pop song, but I can’t do it anymore. I have to stay true to what I’m doing.

Ice-T interview

Seacrest interviews Ice-T during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about the pick up line he used when he first met Coco.

I was shooting a video in Los Angeles for one of my friends. Coco was a model on that film. So my friend brought her over to meet me. When I turned around to meet her the first thing I saw was Coco’s teeth, because she was standing really, really close to me. I thought ‘Wow. She’s got very pretty teeth.’ Then I saw her boobs, and I was like ‘Damn!’ Then she turned around, and I thought ‘Really! Is that possible?

Dad, don’t do something to embarrass me, please.’ They say that. Kids will wipe you out man. She’ll [Nicole] get on national television and goes, ‘My dad taught me that.’ I go, ‘Well, can’t you say that in front of me. It would help if you would say it in front of me.

Taylor Armstrong interview

0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Armstrong during On Air With Ryan Seacrest on her writing a book about her estranged husbands death.

I can understand that, it was a hot minute for her. It was 6 years of abuse for me. So, it didn’t seem like such a hot minute in my opinion. I can’t bring my husband back. I loved him, if I could, I would. I didn’t write this book for Brandi, I wrote it for all the people that are living in these situations.
