Matt Damon says his daughter refuses to call one of his movies by its real name because “there’s nothing great about that movie.”
“My daughter Isabella said, ‘Dad, I’m proud of you.’ Now this is a kid who I made a movie called The Great Wall once, and she calls it The Wall.”
“We have friends over for dinner. She keeps talking about this movie, The Wall. And I’m like, ‘Isabella, it’s called The Great Wall.’ And she’s like, ‘Dad, there’s nothing great about that movie. It’s called The Wall.’ So she is a very tough critic.”
Matt Damon says he had one chance to be in “Avatar,” the biggest movie ever made, and had to say no because of a scheduling clash. He still thinks about it.
“Oh, I was thinking about all the movies that I’ve passed on.”
“I knew it was going to be my one chance to work with Jim Cameron and I couldn’t do it because I had a scheduling conflict, and that stays with me.”
“Right behind Annie is Primal Fear, which was a movie that I auditioned for and didn’t get.”
Anne Hathaway: “I did not turn down Avatar.”
Jill Biden reveals Joe Biden admitted he "effed up" immediately after his highly criticized debate performance
"Jill Biden: We're walking off the stage and Joe says to me, 'Jill, I really effed up, didn't I?' And I said, 'Yeah, Joe, you did.'"
"Whoopi Goldberg: What was going through your mind at the end of that? I want you to tell people what was going through your head."
"Jill Biden: When that moment happened, it honest to God scared the hell out of me. I thought, what in God's name is happening?"
Will Ferrell reveals he grew up wanting a stable office job with a briefcase because of his father's unstable career as a musician.
"My dad was a musician and I saw how up and down that was."
"He played with The Righteous Brothers and toured around. But he had a lot of piano bars and cocktail lounges where he'd have a gig for six months and then he's like, 'Got to find a new gig.' I'm like, 'Why? What happened?' He'd be like, 'Nothing. They're done.'"
"I just remember thinking, 'Oh, I'm going to get a real job. I don't know what that is, but I'm going to carry a briefcase and I'm going to work in an office.'"
Seth Rogen says Barbra Streisand knew she’d become a legend before anyone else did
“She pulled out a tiny pair of shoes and said, ‘These are the shoes I was wearing the first time I ever sang on stage.’”
Howard Stern: “I don’t think Barbra even recognizes how sad her life was. I’m obsessed with that book.”
Seth Rogen: “I love how it was both an autobiography and a work of revenge.”
“She kept those shoes because somewhere in her head she thought, ‘One day, when I’m one of the most celebrated performers in history, these will be an interesting artifact.’”
“It’s an amazing mix of self-deprecation and self-aggrandizement… and I think that’s at the core of a lot of people in show business.”
J.K. Simmons says the cast of “Invincible” almost never records together, so he shuts his eyes in the booth and pictures his co-stars standing there with him.
“In voice over the vast majority of the time it’s just you in a studio, and the good news is, all of us in that cast, because it’s a lot of people who have on camera careers as well, you can be wherever you are and they can hook it up and record you from London or Las Vegas or New York or whatever.”
“We did have at least twice, maybe three times early on when we were doing the first season, we got Steven Yeun and Sandra Oh and myself in the same room at the same time. Huge, actually playing scenes together, those family scenes with each other, which was an unusual treat.”
“Billy West, who plays the Red M&M, calls it theater of the mind. You just literally find myself closing my eyes a lot of the time if it’s not a ton of dialogue and just kind of picturing Nolan and Mark and everybody.”
“Somehow, the further along you get into the career, the more you go back to what we did as kids, basically, right? Just play and pretend. I mean, that’s really all it is.”
J.K. Simmons says he didn’t understand who would even watch a violent cartoon about superheroes, and now people stop him on the street about “Invincible” every day.
“I read it and they asked me to do it and I thought this is really fun and like a genre that it sort of took me a while to wrap my brain around. This is a superhero animated show and it has comic relief elements to it, but it’s intense and it’s not for kids.”
“And I was like, well, who’s it for? But then I found out it’s everyone.”
“Everybody, because people stop me on the street all the time now and talk about Invincible.”
Christopher Nolan says he’s never made a horror movie for one reason: he still hasn’t found an idea good enough, and he thinks horror is the hardest genre in film to pull off.
“I’ve always been interested in that world, but the thing with horror is you have to have just the right concept. You have to have amazing conceptual basis for a horror movie to really work. And that’s something I never really connected with. I haven’t found the right thing.”
“But when you look at the Odyssey, when you look at the poem, horror is a key ingredient in the appeal of that story, why it’s lasted. It’s the darkness that gives you the light kind of thing. And so we really wanted to jump in fully.”
“The thing that’s interesting about horror is it’s the most visceral of film genres. So it’s the one that requires the most cinematic technique, the very direct effect that you’re trying to have on the audience.”
Forget fillers and Botox for a second.
The future of aesthetics may not be about adding something to your body it may be about teaching your body to repair itself.
Dr. Drew Taylor: “Regenerative medicine is about using our own biology to restore the body to a previous state of function.”
The goal isn't just to hide the signs of aging.
It's to help the body function better after age, injury, or disease.
And this isn't just science fiction.
People are already living with 3D-printed bladders created from their own cells.
Now, similar technology is being explored for areas like skin and hair restoration.
The takeaway: the future of beauty may not be about what we can add to the body.
It may be about unlocking what the body is already capable of.
