"A lot of those guys on the board can go and get my sandwich when I want, and I mean that in the nicest way.

"I did go to see James Cameron. He didn't give us his blessing, but he didn't shit all over our movie. When Jim was making Alien, he was following the great Ridley Scott, so he knows how we feel." —McG is tired of hearing that James Cameron hasn't blessed Terminator: Salvation [TotalFilm]

"We give presents to each other on Christmas Eve and the ones from Santa come on Christmas morning. We also line up from youngest to oldest on Christmas Eve and we march around the house in a line.

And if you were good, you get to put straw in the manger — everyone's been good so far." —Stephen Colbert on the Colbert-family Christmas tradition [USAT]

"They are trying to figure it out between me and Hillary, and I keep telling them I've got some things I can bring to the table that they've never had before." —Common is in the running for secretary of State [MTV]
