“It’s just one of the perks of the job. Katherine [Heigl] was like, ‘You were making out with Katie Holmes in your last movie? Excuse me, I’m already jealous.’ Personally, I’m a big fan of Katherine’s husband, Josh Kelley, so kissing her in Life As We Know It was like indirectly getting to make out with him. —Josh Duhamel [Parade]
“As great an experience as it was, after playing Damian in “Mean Girls,” everybody on the street thinks I’m their best friend or screams “hey girl” at me without realizing I’m not Damian…You can’t get much different from a sweet 16-year-old gay best friend than a conniving backwoods rapist.” —Daniel Franzese, on going from Mean Girls to I Spit on Your Grave [NY Post]

“I think children exist on a different spiritual vibration and I think they’re really keyed in on any bullshit barometer. So for them to put their arm around me and accept me was gratifying. As an actor, that’s what I hope and aspire to be — a 12-year-old.” —Elias Koteas, star of Let Me In, on his child costars [Popwrap]
