I brought Nicole (Nicole Richie) on to _"Simple Life, The" (2003) and, all of a sudden, she became this different person. She dropped her old friends and she`s someone else.
Paris Hilton
On violence in Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003): "When I was on "The View" (1997), Barbara Walters was asking me about the blood and stuff, and I said, `Well, you know, that`s a staple of Japanese cinema.` And then she came back,`But this is America.` And I go, `...
Quentin Tarantino
Joining "One Tree Hill" (2003) has been: "Like summer camp, only it`s really cold in Wilmington, North Carolina! I`ve never lived in a small town, but I always pictured myself in a small house, drinking lemonade on my porch swing. Now I have the porch!".
Bethany Lenz
[on the success of "Two and a Half Men" (2003)] It seems funny to me that it`s all worked so well. I have so much respect for the people who do this. It`s so hard to keep the energy up and to make people laugh.
Melanie Lynskey
[On making The Dreamers (2003)] It gave me the chance of visiting a moment that I really loved a lot, the late 1960s. It was a kind of magic moment in many senses. There was a fantastic projection of the future, of utopias, which were very noble in some w...
Bernardo Bertolucci
Even during my most intense scenes with Sean Penn (in 21 Grams (2003)), we found ways to have fun. Sure, I have my dark moments, but I`m the girl you`ll see driving down the highway singing to Blondie.
Naomi Watts
While making Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003), I had like 50 outfit changes. It was great! I`m real into the whole girlie" thing, it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed it".
Reese Witherspoon
The funny thing is that people see one film like Racing Stripes (2005) or Ice Princess (2005) and all of a sudden, slip me into this category of "that`s what she`s always involved in" but people don`t remember that I did Normal (2003) (TV) with Jessica La...

I had hoped that girls all over the world would relate to Thirteen (2003). But I had no idea that girls I was sitting next to went through the same-things I did.
Nikki Reed
I just show up and do the job the very best that I can every day, no matter what the part is. And I`m having a blast. (`Multi-tasking Gorham takes demanding role` by Lynne McNamara, Canada.com, 12 Sep 2003)
Christopher Gorham
(Commenting on the nudity and sex in In the Cut (2003)) "You don`t go, `Wow! I get to do a nude scene.` But I love the sex scene in this movie. It was scary, honest and raw. But people could find my body very unattractive. There could be a backlash agains...
Meg Ryan
On his "Tarzan" action sequences: "The monkey stuff is pretty funny. As Tarzan you can`t really take him too seriously." (From Daily Variety, Sept. 12, 2003)
Travis Fimmel
[on his 2003 resolution] "To be in a movie or a play which doesn`t require me to take off my clothes. Unless, of course, I don`t get another job... In which case I`ll be half-naked and whole-heartedly depressed for the rest of my career."
Patrick Wilson
[When asked on "Celebrity Poker Showdown" (2003) what making Ocean`s Eleven (1960) was like] Oh, it was wonderful. And I remember most of it.
Angie Dickinson
Once you commit, you commit. You can`t hold back. We all knew that the only way we would pull this [movie] off was for everyone to give everything they had. I could not hold back. On playing "Tracy" in the movie Thirteen (2003).
Evan Wood
I got caught playing doctor in my grandma`s garage, but, you know, it was very minor, just like sticking things in the heinie. (quoted in Playboy 05-2003)
Kelly Preston
For me, doing Wonderland (2003) wasn`t about strategy. The story was compelling, it was written really well, I thought I understood the characters, and I just wanted to be in it. I`ve never gone wrong whenever I`ve done that, and I haven`t done that a lot...
Lisa Kudrow
I salute the National Book Foundation Board, who took a huge risk in giving this award to a man many people see as a rich hack. (from his acceptance speech for the National Book Foundation`s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, 2003)
Stephen King
(When People Magazine voted him one of the 50 Most Beautiful of 2003, they asked him what beauty products he uses): "The closest thing I use to beauty products is the grease on the pizza from John`s Pizzeria."
Mark Feuerstein
On how to take the violence in Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) (re: The final duel with Lucy Liu): "It`s supposed to be kind of amusing and poetic at the same time. And also just a teeny-tiny bit solemn. When you see her head, it`s funny. And then her line, `tha...
Quentin Tarantino
I hate to say it, but I was really expecting a little bit more. It`s just the same-old, same-old. There`s nothing to it - it`s all about running around and screaming, `No, Freddy, don`t!` - on working on Freddy vs. Jason (2003).
Katharine Isabelle
[on doing the Texan accent for Secondhand Lions (2003)] I had a great dialect coach and he told me there`s always one moment when you get something. He said, "Do your Texan accent for me," when I had learned it from a tape. He said, "It`s too English!". I...
Michael Caine
[about the sex scenes in The Dreamers (2003):] "It must be very shocking for the American people, but what I don`t understand is why they are so crazy about that. I don`t understand why you can`t see naked people on screen but we can see a baby being kill...

[on his role in "The Daily Show" (1996)]: Liberal and conservative have lost their meaning in America. I represent the distracted center. [March 2003].
