“I actually wanted to go much further with it, but I came out of the makeup trailer with all of these whiteheads all over my face and Disney kind of pulled me back and said, ‘This isn’t a horror film, let’s just do your standard run-of-the-mill acne please.’” —Kristen Bell, on playing a nerd in You Again [Parade]
“I did not know what was required of me before I got to New Orleans. But the night before the second exorcism scene, Daniel [Stamm, the director] asked if there was anything I wanted to try.

“I read something like, how did someone keep a secret, and it’s — you know — human beings exist that have integrity that know how to keep their mouth shut. That know the bigger picture, that don’t sell out their friends. They know if they screw up they’re not coming on the next vacation, I’m not going to babysit their kids. I will cut them, I will take them down.” —Sandra Bullock, debunking the miracle of her secret adoption on Today [NYDN]
