JESSICA LANGE "The two little moments I had with her in Losing Isaiah felt very connected and real. I would love to have the whole Jessica Lange experience." —Samuel L. Jackson

GWYNETH PALTROW "Every time I see her I'm taken with her talent." —Jeff Bridges

MERYL STREEP "I did my very first movie with her. I'm the guy who mugs her in Heartburn. It was very brief, and I was very nervous, but I'd love to do a movie with her. There's nothing she can't do. She's a character actress, she's a leading lady, she's all of it." —Kevin Spacey

HELEN HUNT "I love the fact that she got a hugely successful TV series and she got better as an actress. Usually, TV is the death of people's acting skills. Every time I see her I love her more." —William H. Macy
