->''I don't mean to paint him as a prima donna (Oh, OK, I actually kind of do, given the frequency with which he apparently stormed off set and his insistence that the past Doctors be relegated firmly to guest star status in [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS10E1TheThreeDoctors}} The Three Doctors]]), because the obvious consequence of this would likely have happened to any star in that circumstance. The inherent egoism of being the star is going to bleed into the part. And with [[Creator/JonPertwee Pertwee]] it rapidly did.''

->"I struggled with letting in other people’s opinions. I never let directors talk to me, because I was so spoiled. I started off with people like Creator/MilosForman, Creator/SidneyLumet, James Lapine, unbelievably gifted people. So there I was saying, ‘Don’t talk to me, I don’t want your opinion.’ I behaved abominably. I don’t care if my work was good or if I got an award for it. I’m not proud of how I was then, and it pained me."

->"There’s a part of me that’s a Hollywood animal as well. I can’t wait to get into the writer’s room and see how we do this. I feel like I’m finally rolling into the next phase of my adulthood."

->“It got to a place where I said, 'I’ve had enough!' … So we [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor let her go.]] She tried to leave with some of the clothes from the movie, and we had a very tough producer who got the clothes back, and I heard she was in the streets of East Hampton, furious, and walking around half-naked."

->''Thanks to the contract squabble that delayed ''Series/MadMen'' until 2012, we didn't even get to see Jones in the one thing that justifies her existence. Jones spent 2011 serving as [[AdvertisedExtra human topiary]] in [[Film/XMenFirstClass the new X-Men movie]]...and passing every waking hour looking like someone stole her last box of Parliaments.''

->''{{Creator/Megan|Fox}} has the press fooled. When we read those magazines we wish we worked with that woman. Megan knows how to work her smile for the press. Those writers should try being on set for two movies, sadly she never smiles... She goes through the motions that make her exude this sense of misery. We’ve heard the A.D’s piped over the radio that Megan won’t walk from her trailer until Creator/JohnTurturro walks first! John’s done seventy-five movies and she’s made two!''

->''Eddie Mayoff played a Pentagon general whose passion was laundry. He was more nightclub performer than actor but, in his serene pomposity, a delight onstage. He, too, was hard to work with. Small eyes, aglitter with paranoia, set in a great slab-like face. Whenever he wanted a line changed, he would begin a monologue. "They take out their quarter, see?" He would pantomime a phantom quarter being removed from his pocket. "They put it in the slot, see? They get on the subway." He'd sway back and forth, on the train. "They come downtown. To the Booth Theater. Then they...' He would describe minutely the mind of "they"--the Mayoff fans--who would be outraged or shortchanged if he were to say 'and' rather than "but."''

->“Sean felt more and more encouraged to lobby for the role, even though we were already shooting. It got to a place where I said, 'I’ve had enough!' … So we let her go. She tried to leave with some of the clothes from the movie, and we had a very tough producer who got the clothes back, and I heard she was in the streets of East Hampton, furious, and walking around half-naked."

->''"[[Creator/BruceWillis Willis]] called the shots like he did on '[[Film/HudsonHawk (Hudson) Hawk]]' and like he used to do on 'Series/{{Moonlighting}}'. He had scenes rewritten. He did what he wanted to do. We were working with [[Creator/OrsonWelles Orson]] Willis."''
