''But I am tawdry.... I was playing myself. All my own wardrobe.... I got to wear funny teeth. And that's really why I did it, so I could have funny teeth.'' -- Novocaine's HELENA BONHAM CARTER on why she took such a ''tawdry'' role, on Reel.com

''[Y]ou form friendships when you're young, the people you went to acting school with, the people who gave you your first job. And you go on to prize loyalty, because everybody you're going to meet who ain't your friend is going to screw you. And over the years, it never stops. It's just you keep getting screwed by people in better suits.'' -- Heist director DAVID MAMET on Hollywood loyalties, on Reel.com
