"I'm limited in speech to the degree that I needed some expletive to express true frustration, whether that was not being able to control my sixteen year-old-daughter or a nuclear bomb. And I started to realize that one word could handle all of it." Kiefer Sutherland on the origin of Jack Bauer's signature expression [Zap2it]

"How great would Johnny Depp be as Witchiepoo? Maybe he'll read this, right? Look, all we need is a star. And a story." Marty Krofft on his ideas for an H.R. Pufnstuf movie [LAT]

"I have nothing to do with this show, which is probably why it is so fucking good." Kevin Smith, moderating a Comic-Con panel for Battlestar Galactica [EW]

"In the end, I'm probably most like Peggy. Although I wish I was Don. I'm perennially the new girl, I'm a pretty earnest person always shocked by bad behavior." Matthew Weiner on Mad Men [Mad Men/AMC]

"It's all about balance. It's not an entire show made up of ooh-ma-ma's, we have dick jokes and ball jokes and fart jokes and dry comedy and sort of intellectual comedy and ooh-ma-ma." Tim Heidecker on Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! [Sound of the City/VV]
