~By Mike Ditka ~

~By Casey Abrams ~

~By Mary Hart ~
I feel like my music is just an extension of my acting. I treat the songs like scenes that tell a story... it's very similar. My favorite thing is when cartoon fans show up to my live gigs! They are always the most kick-butt audience members 'cause they're not trying to act all cool like a lot of the music fans do! It's refreshing!!

~By Ted Allen ~
I seem to have a knack for picking movies that go on to be cult favorites.
~By Kurt Russell ~

~By Gerald Scarfe ~
Dr. Cox mentors the rookie doctors with a spoonful of dirt and then a cup of sugar. I see him as an archetypal descendent of two of my favorite curmudgeonly characters: Lou Grant and Louie De Palma.
~By John C. McGinley ~
We don't really have favorite positions. Its mostly just playing the game that we love.
~By Ashley Olsen ~
