I didn’t get them as big as I originally wanted.” Spencer Pratt was asked the same question, and he likes something the surgeon didn’t work on: Her hair. “It keeps growing so beautifully and naturally,” he says. (What does he mean by “naturally”?) [People]

“I keep getting people coming up to me speaking in strange languages. It is wonderful how people have embraced this character.” — Inglourious Basterds‘ Christoph Waltz. [Page Six]
“I wrote this at a very dark time in my life. A lot of bad things had happened — death, divorce, moving across the country — so I was kind of down the rabbit hole myself at the time. I got an image of [Alice] standing at a very crucial moment in her life, looking over and seeing this rabbit leaning against the tree, looking at her, knowing she had to put a pin in this crucial decision and follow this rabbit, because that was her destiny.” — Screenwriter Linda Woolverton, on Alice In Wonderland. [Telegraph]
“Alice in Wonderland — if you’re not walking on a tightrope, juggling super-sharp knives, there’s really no reason to do it. Because if you’re not willing to get into the same arena or take the same chances as Charles Dodgson did, what’s the point? Tim is that guy who will get up on that high wire and juggle double-edged daggers to amaze and astound us all. He couldn’t have bitten off anything bigger to chew. This is almost lunatic time. To choose to grab Alice in Wonderland, that in itself is one thing, and then to do it to the Tim Burton level is madness. It’s so huge because, whether it’s the CGI or the green screen or the 3D or the live action, he’s done it all here. It’s the greatest undertaking I’ve heard of.” — Johnny Depp. [Telegraph]
“What we do, it’s extravagant, it’s extraordinary. … I don’t call it a normal life but we are normal people. For people to see we live as normal as possible … makes my singing even more true and it gives me an extra bond with my fans.” — Celine Dion, on her movie, Celine: Through the Eyes of the World. [AP]
“It’s already a huge honor to be nominated but I don’t think I need to think about a speech at all, I’m just excited to be nominated.” — Precious star Gabourey Sidibe, on the Academy Awards. [Mirror]
“Our generation is definitely all about the texting and the e-mailing and the BBM-ing and the IM-ing; it’s endless. I think a lot of things get misconstrued, because tone of voice is so important. There should be a sarcasm font… because I’ll make a sarcastic comment and the other person thinks I’m being rude when I’m not.” — Emma Roberts, 19. [LA Times]
“I think a man’s job — especially within a family — is to balance more than lead. There’s a cheesy bumper sticker that says, ‘If momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.’ And the fact of the matter is women are more complex than men. We’re simpler as far as what makes us happy, what we need out of life… I think one of the greatest things a man can do is to be a faithful, honest man. It’s not easy. Not that I desire anyone else. My father made mistakes in the fidelity department. He has passed away and I don’t mean to disgrace his name in any way, but we’re all pretty honest, my family. And I think it’s really important for a man to not make the same mistakes that their parent has made. My mother and father stayed married for most of their lives, and they separated when I was 19, but on his deathbed, my father said, ‘Your mother was the love of my life, and I really wish I would have worked harder at that.'” — David Arquette. [LA Times]
“That kid is unstoppable. She’s very confident and funny. She’s so dramatic already. She laughs hard. She pouts hard. She cries hard. She loves hard. If she can’t find something it’s the end of the world. It would be no surprise to me if she went into acting. I’d be cool with that, otherwise I’d be a hypocrite but I hope she doesn’t jump into it too soon.” — Courteney Cox on daughter Coco. [Daily Express]
“I have no ambitions beyond being comfortable in what I do for a living — and earning a living. We have no promotion, we’ve got no money — it’s the cheapest budget of any of the late-night shows — probably Carson Daly’s too. We get nothing. But we do have a huge advantage in that they let us do what we want.” — Craig Ferguson. [LA Times]
“The theater was predominant in terms of acting… but then came people like James Dean and a different cinema acting technique that was just revolutionary because it was about behavior — Montgomery Clift, Brando. Those three changed cinema all over the world. You see [James Dean] and you think, ‘Oh…my…God.’ Wow. And I never really appreciated what he did until I did my first on-camera stuff, and how you had to repeat everything and hit marks and have the camera move with you. I was smoking Camels or something, but James Dean smoked Kools. I had to switch.” — Martin Sheen reminisces. He was a in a play called The Subject Was Roses on Broadway in 1964. Now he’s in it again, playing the dad role. [LA Times]
“It’s great to be able to stay at home and raise your children. Unfortunately, that was not my reality. I had to be a working mother when my kids were little. I was divorced and single and I couldn’t afford not to work. So when I say they don’t work, it’s not to cut them down. It’s me just saying, ‘You don’t understand. I have to go to my office and I can’t leave to do a booty class at 2 o’clock in the afternoon; I can’t do a cooking party.’ When I say that, it’s not to hurt them. It’s just to have them understand. If they don’t work, they don’t work. It’s not to hurt them.” — Real Housewives Of Orange County castmember Vicki Gunvalson. [LA Times]
“I love to hate Pete. He’s very transparent about what his problems are. Vincent Kartheiser is a great actor.… [For the Charleston scene] We took lessons for about a month, a couple of times a week. It was such a blast. They called me before I’d read the episode and they said, ‘You need to start taking Charleston lessons.’ Then when I read the episode it seemed so funny, so something Pete and Trudy would do, in an almost a competitive way. Like look what we can do! Together! Better than you! It’s such a cute moment for them.” — Mad Men‘s Alison Brie, who also plays Annie Edison on Community. [WSJ]
“My daughter’s the most important thing to me, in my life. I’m having my Demeter and Persephone moment with my daughter.” — Courtney Love. [Mirror]
“I have a tremendous relationship with the gay community. When people find out I’m doing this, they say, ‘Is it because of your relationship with the gay community, because you want to speak out about AIDS?’ And I say no. AIDS is not a gay disease. That’s part of what I want to accomplish … really raise awareness of what AIDS is today.” — Lady Gaga, on her MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam campaign. [USA Today]
