During an interview with Roger Ebert regarding his film Munich (2005) and the response from Jewish critics that claim it depicts Israeli and Palestinian causes as morally equivalent: Frankly, I think that`s a stupid charge. The people who attack the movie...
Steven Spielberg
[on landing Sahara (2005)] Matthew [Matthew McConaughey] was an executive on it, and he sent me the script and this crazy letter, which was great. I`d never been kind of approached in that way. I was really impressed with the letter, and I read the script...
Steve Zahn
I try to find things that are insanely cheap and brilliant. My Bonne Bell lip gloss is about 75 cents, and I have worn it as my lipstick to almost every main event in Hollywood in the past two years. - quoted in Woman`s World (27 December 2005)
Jennifer Hewitt
I did. I called my attorney. My agent. My manager. I said "You know y`all, you`re serious about this? I`m really.. I gotta get out of this. Like can`t they call `Leann Rimes`? I mean she`s good." - On trying to get out of the part of June Carter Cash in W...
Reese Witherspoon
[On Dean Winchester`s reaction to his father`s death on _"Supernatural" (2005)_] "A lot of issues, yeah. Dean`s definitely having issues on camera. I`m just having issues because I don`t get to hang out with him [Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played John] anym...

Samuel Jackson
I`m damn near 37 years old, and I`m jumping up and down on the bed like my 10-year-old. I was a wild man [31 January 2006 upon learning of his Oscar nomination for Hustle & Flow (2005)].
Terrence Howard
I feel like there`s a race being run in Los Angeles for some unattainable goal -to be the best, the skinniest, the most beautiful. I just admit that that`s what I`ll never be. (Marie Claire - September 2005)
Reese Witherspoon
Regarding his commitment to directing Jarhead (2005) without a personal soldiering background: "This is new territory to me, but I hadn`t spent two days in American suburbia when I directed American Beauty (1999). I only knew the script had an unusual and...
Sam Mendes
I hope to give you at least 15 more years of movies. I`m not going to be this old guy that keeps cranking them out. My plan is to have a theater by that time in some small town and I will be the manager - this crazy old movie guy. (March 2005)
Quentin Tarantino
[Speaking in 2005 about the British Education Secretary]: Why do we want someone like Ruth Kelly controlling our children? She`s the scariest woman I`ve ever seen in politics.
Piers Morgan
I finished filming Fantastic Four (2005) last Christmas and I haven`t worked since then and I`m starting to feel a bit angsty and wondering when the next job will come. Of course, you have to have the belief that yes, something will come up but, the reali...
Ioan Gruffudd
Filming Pride & Prejudice (2005) was a joy and made for one of my happiest summers ever. It could well be that the story brings out the best in people - and it sounds so cheesy, but we really did behave like a family. The girls playing the younger sisters...
Rosamund Pike
We didn`t want to anthropomorphize him to the point where we were explaining every single little gesture. Gorillas both in captivity and the wild have an enigmatic quality - a sense of disconnect, of otherness. - on his title character in `King Kong` (200...
Andy Serkis
I was always brought up to say please and thank you and always tell the truth, and people were saying, "Oh my God, what`s going to happen with your character next year [on "Prison Break" (2005)]?` and I wasn`t allowed to say, so I felt really guilty becau...
Robin Tunney
I`ve never found therapy to be a sign of weakness; I`ve found the opposite to be true. The willingness to have a mirror held up to you definitely requires strength. (2005)
Brooke Shields
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...

(July 2001): "Hollywood is definitely happening to me but right now I`m not happening for Hollywood. Maybe if offers still last by 2005 I will. I`m committed until then."
Hrithik Roshan
[Presenting the Lifetime of Achievement Award to director Sidney Lumet at the 2005 Academy Awards] As an old village poet put it to me in the 1960s. [If you dig it, it`s yours]. I dug Sidney Lumet back then. I dig him now because what he had to give, I to...
Al Pacino
It took me several years to figure out who I am and a few more to accept what I discovered. Now, I`m in the enjoyment stage of that process and it`s a happy place. (April 2005)
Jolene Blalock
On the series finale of "Enterprise" (2001): "These are the Voyages..." was a good episode but not a great finale. They should`ve done a 2-hour, you know, like we did. Then I would`ve gotten double the money--that would`ve been good." (August 20, 2005).
Marina Sirtis
[2005 Academy Awards acceptance speech for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Ray (2004/I)] I guess we got to do it again. "Oh, ah!" Yeah, you`re ready. That`s for Ray Charles. Give it up for Ray Charles and his beautiful legacy. And thank you, Ray Charles,...
Jamie Foxx
[on working with rapper Malicious Jynx (2005)] There is just something about him, he is so talented and so gifted, so flamboyant and so charismatic. He doesn`t deserve the harsh criticism he receives. Anyone who listens to his albums with their hearts and...
Debbie Allen
[In May, 2005, on his impending divorce to Jennifer Aniston] The thing I don`t understand is looking at this as a failure. It`s talked about like it failed, I guess because it wasn`t flawless. Me, I embrace the messiness of life. I find it so beautiful, a...
Brad Pitt
The film is ambiguous, an ambiguity that reflects on Japan today, and a world in which nothing is clear. Once I made the film [Takeshis` (2005)], I realized it was about this feeling of vague disquiet in Japan and in the rest of the world, a feeling that ...
Takeshi Kitano
[New York Times interview, Oct. 16, 2005]: I regret turning down the lead role in Alice Doesn`t Live Here Anymore (1974) which Ellen Burstyn deservedly won an Oscar for. I said to myself: "Who is this Martin Scorsese person?".
