Professional boxer Ryan Garcia on UFO Disclosure and aliens “They're disclosing aliens. I mean that's not even a joke no more. Before it was taboo to say. I always knew what they really are and I always kind of got a sense of the overall picture of what it's really going to be laid out as. I always felt the aliens were in the water. I even said that. People thought I was crazy when I said that. Now they're saying that they're seeing UFOs go into the water. Everything's going to be disclosed. Nobody's going to have to guess anymore. And hopefully all these conspiracy theorists and all these people get their answers and everybody can see the truth. I feel like Americans, and the whole world needs to just know the truth about everything that's going on.”

Jenny Lewis and Sara Kay, the casting directors of Heated Rivalry, on Connor Storrie's self-tape audition for the role of Ilya Rozanov. "Connor was just -- I was like "Oh, that's him". We just knew. He just sort of had the it of the character. And so I knew when I showed that one to Jacob and Brenda. You have to chemistry-read and make sure the mix works, but I was like, "That's the guy". I just knew that was the guy." 🔗

Ben Affleck revealed he had to get Michael Jordan’s approval before making Air, including what could and couldn’t be in the movie. Ben Affleck: ...not going to do anything that you're not down with. So, if you want to give me a couple hours, sit down and tell me like what's real, what's not, and what you care about, you know, I... and he was like, "All right, cool. Come out to my golf course." So, flew out there... Matt Barnes: How was that? Ben Affleck: It was sick. You know what I mean? Like, damn, it's good to be Michael Jordan, it turns out. Stephen Jackson: 36 holes, right? Ben Affleck: It's crazy, yeah. Nobody's there except him and his boys. It's just like that thing, you know? And um, he... I went, waited for my man to finish, you know what I mean? They're like, "Mike will be like soon." I was like, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm cool." And when he got done, he was like, "So, what... what is this?" you know? And I said, "Look, it's the story of your Nike deal, basically, and you know, what happened around then, and here's..." I had sent him the script, and I kind of talked him through it a little bit.

"You know, I don't, I have not changed. I really make the movies for myself. I really, really do." Q: "For no one else, or just sort of like what you ultimately want to see in them?" "Yeah, I think so." Q: "As a fan yourself, too? "What I want to see, yeah, like as a, like, you only have the benchmark of yourself. Like, if you ever try and make a movie for someone other than yourself... I feel like you're going to blow it. "Because you can't, you don't know how anyone else is going to feel. So like, you know, you go, 'okay, do I find that emotionally real? Do I find that interesting? Is that the Krypton I want to go to? Is that the Superman I want to see fight?' "You know, those are the questions you ask yourself constantly. And I think once you, if you're constantly answering yes to that, then you'll end up the more, the film will end up being more interesting to you. "And ultimately, the film being interesting to you allows you to make the movie better because you're interested. "If you make it for someone else over a two-year period, you're just going to not give a sh*t at some point because you're just like, 'I don't care. This is not my movie. I don't care about this movie because I made it for someone else.'" Q: "I imagine that's a very hard thing to do in Hollywood, though, is to keep your vision clear with so much collaboration, with so much going on, with so many other people in the mix." "It really depends on the project. For instance, it was hard on Guardians, you know, where I feel like what ended up happening on that movie was people, we did end up, they did end up asking me like, 'this is for kids, right?' "And I got to honestly say that I knew it was for kids, but I didn't want to make it for kids. You know what I mean? And I think that's what happened to that movie. It did get like second guessed at the end and turned more into a movie for kids. "My point of view is I can think like a child if I want. I have that enthusiasm for movies and what I think is cool. You, the collective you, don't need to try and second guess me and go, 'this is what we think a kid would like.' "And then it's like, 'oh, a song' or whatever. Then you're just like, 'okay, whatever.'"

John McTiernan on how he learnt moviemaking by watching 'Day for Night' (1972): "I remember when I decided that that's what I was going to do. I went about it like it was reverse engineering. I knew that I had to go and learn what a movie was, not just my experience of going and watching a movie. So I went and sat in Truffaut's Day for Night (1972), watched it for three days straight, eight hours at a time and memorized it shot-for-shot. I got past the story, all the original and secondary experience, so I could study what it was that I was really watching. Film is really sort of a chain that's really linear. Yet when it's all strung together, it just sort of feels like an experience. It takes quite a while to be able to deconstruct that experience to figure out what you really saw." (John McTiernan's interview with Alex Simon, The Hollywood Interview, 1999)

Garrett Wilson was asked about his sideline exchange with Aaron Glenn at the end of the first half: "I just didn't know exactly what the plan was. Once I figured it out, I was disappointed. I'll just say that." Follow-up: "To not run a play, is that what you mean?" Wilson: "I didn't know exactly what the plan was. Once we converted the fourth down, I just thought we were going for the, trying to make the play. Obviously, we get to another fourth down and it's a tough spot to be in. In hindsight, I get why they did that, but in the moment, I was just like, 'man...'. I don't know. Yeah."

I mean, my God. Who knew? It was so shocking to get that cancer diagnosis… Here I was, I'm looking through travel magazines like, ‘Oh, where are we going to go? What are we going to do?’ And then we get this cancer diagnosis and I think, ‘What am I doing?’ Like, our whole life has changed now.” “It was just shocking.”

“So originally, Paint by Numbers was like track one of the album. And at that time, the album was very different. It was like sonically sounding very different. It was like very introspective. I think I was really starting to feel like, you know, I think I loved the idea of opening the album with, oh, what a gift it is to be noticed, but it's nothing to do with me. I just loved, I was like so dedicated to that being the opening line. And I felt so like powerful in a lot of ways to be able to acknowledge that it's not really about me, you know. I mean the opening, the whole opening of the song is, oh, what a gift is to be noticed, but it's nothing to do with me. You've got to wonder if there's a reason to believe it's a lifetime of learning to Paint By Numbers and watching colors run.” - Harry about ‘Paint by Numbers’ on Q

#ZeePrukLiveBD2025 🐺: "Is 23 years old different from 33?" Back then, at 23, I had already graduated. By the time I entered DomundiTV, I was around 23, if I remember correctly. At that time, it was really different, because I didn't know how to do anything at all. I didn't even know what working really was. Simply put, that was the stage of life when I had just graduated from university. I didn't know how to work yet, because when I studied, I only studied. The kind of work I did was just university assignments, not real working life. So after graduation, I started to learn more about working. I met more people, encountered more personalities, which is normal. I faced more kinds of work, more things I had to learn. I just tried to learn along the way, tried to be the best version of myself and gradually learning. It was actually fun, because the more people you meet, the more you grow. The more diverse the work or society you face, the more you grow, and you gain new perspectives and insights. I really like one phrase from my mom: "When you grow up, you'll understand it yourself." Back then, I didn't believe it at all, but they turned out to be so true. Because age has no boundaries, but age automatically makes us precipitate many things. No matter who we are, what type of person, what kind of character we have, in the end, our age will help us crystallize many thoughts about which path we want to choose in life, whether it's good or bad, or whether we want to be this or that. But… how to say… we shouldn't take advantage of anyone, because everyone is different. That's right. #ZeePruk Z #ZunShine

Zack Snyder thought it was important to take Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole totally seriously even though it was "for kids." "Well that's 100% the reason why it is what it is. I wanted to take the world 100% seriously and I wasn't making this movie going 'it's a kid's movie so don't worry about it' or whatever. "Like 'hey dad, mom and dad, look here's a double entendre so you can have something to laugh at.' I didn't want to do that at all. "I was like 'no, we need to like, this is this kid's movie, this movie is the drama, the relationships, all that, we have to take it 100% seriously' because the world needs to be real. "I mean it's talking owls so you've got to go pretty far to get people to believe it, and I think that that's why the tone is what it is."

More of Harry about Aperture “The reason why it's called Aperture is like, you control how much light you let in to your life. And I think the start of this year, I kind of just decided I was going to say yes to everything. And the momentum of that has just brought, like, so many positive things in a lot of different ways into my life. And it's been a really beautiful time in my life. And I think also, just when I would play people the music, it was always the song that I played first. […] I want to say and where I'm at in my life. And I think there's nothing more fulfilling, I think, as a musician than putting out a song that you feel like represents where you're at in your life. I think sometimes, you know, you write a song and by the time it comes out, you've kind of been through a bunch of things, and you're not really kind of aligned with necessarily what is happening in the song. And I think I really felt it when we put As It Was at or I felt like, “oh, I feel like this really represents where I'm at in this moment” and that felt really fulfilling. So I think kind of I wanted to do that again this time. And just I feel great about, like, pressing play and going like, I want to play something. And that's kind of why it ended up being the first song.” - 102.7 KIIS FM

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well. I had a story treatment that laid out the entire story scene by scene, so I called him over the phone from London and I said, “Do you want to do this?” And he said, “Okay.” The person I was working with at that time as a producer made a deal with him for the whole money because there wasn’t very much. It was so tiny that he could only get him to do it for the whole amount of money. When I came back from England, the screenplay was a completely different screenplay from the story treatment. It was more like 'Hot Rods to Hell' (1967). It was very fantasy-like, with playing chicken and things that kids didn’t really do. I wanted something that was more like the way I grew up. So I took that and I said, “Okay. Now here I am. I’ve got a deal to turn in a screenplay. I’ve got a screenplay that is just not the kind of screenplay I want at all and I have no money.” And, I spent the very last money I had saved up to go to Europe to make the deal, so I had nothing. That was a very dark period for me so I sat down myself and wrote the screenplay. After I did 'American Graffiti', and it was successful, it was a big moment for me because I really did sit down with myself and say, “Okay, now I am a director. Now I know I can get a job. I can work in this industry, and apply my trade, and express my ideas on things and be creative in a way that I enjoy. Even if I end up doing TV commercials or something, or I fall back into what I really love is documentaries. I’ll be able to do it. I know I can get a job somewhere. I know I can raise money somewhere. I know I can do what I want to do.” That was a very good feeling. At that point, I’d made it. There wasn’t anything in my life that was going to stop me from making movies."

George Lucas on how he had to reluctantly write the screenplay for 'American Graffiti' (1973) & the confidence he gained from the movie's success: "When I was doing 'American Graffiti' (1973) I was still struggling with my ‘I don’t want to be a writer’ syndrome. I had some good friends of mine that I wanted to write the screenplay, but it took me like two years just to get the money to do a screenplay. And I got a little tiny amount of money and—which I had to go actually to the Cannes Film Festival to get on my own. So finally I got this money. I called back and I said, you know, “I got the money. We can start working on the screenplay.” And they said, “Oh, we don’t want to do that now. We’ve got our own low-budget picture off the ground and we can’t write it.” I said, “Oh no.” I said, “What am I going to do? I am in Europe and I’m not going to be back for like three months and I want to get this thing off the ground.” So they recommended another student from school that I knew pretty well.

Jennifer Lopez reflects on her success: "I was always just in the pursuit of doing what I love to do... and that's all I wanted to do with my life. There was really no backup plan for me. So whatever that turned out to be was what I was going to be doing."

Jacob talks about realizing Heated Rivalry was “successful”: “There were different steps along the way. I can remember the Friday when the third episode aired—that weekend. Because I thought, the first weekend, I was like, “Oh, that's going to be the end of that [buzz], and I'll never hear about anybody watching the show again." And then the second weekend, when episode three aired, it felt—I was like, "Oh, it's just more." And I was like, "Oh, I think this show is successful, I guess." 🗣️ Television Academy Honors, May 20, 2026 ▶️ ✍🏼 transcription by Heated Rivalry News
