Aziz Ansari

"I would actually say Shut Up and Play the Hits, because I would love for [LCD Soundsystem] to make some more music or perform again."

Jonathan Dayton, co-director of Ruby Sparks

Zoe Kazan

“Not Raging Bull! You know this whole Raging Bull fiasco that’s going on? I think most movies that are really great don’t ever need a sequel, so I would probably have to think of a [bad] movie... Oh, Cool Runnings!”
