"I get some street cred living in New York. And people think you're a better actor — hiring a 'New York guy' for a film in LA is like the producers splurging for expensive lighting equipment." —New York actor Jesse Eisenberg on why he doesn't move to L.A. [Gothamist]

"I just strapped those breasts down and went for it." Cate Blanchett on playing Bob Dylan [W via People]

"Who's going to catch me? These little Jimmy-come-lately Jimmy Kimmels? I'm the record holder!" Regis Philbin, who holds the Guinness World Record for most time spent on TV [TV Guide]

"I certainly have had more than my share of trouble with women. The food is 100% exactly like my life. I did park my car in the same area [in Chicago] and sit there in the middle of the night with Ho Hos and stuff."
