''[Being Spice, the bad girl in Batman Forever,] wasn't a big stretch....I had a lot of fun, except my corsets shrunk my waist to 17 inches, and -- with 4 1/2-inch heels -- it was a painful performance.'' -- Temporarily Yours' Debi Mazar on America Online

''[Woody Allen] is odd. He's not kooky, just odd. He has a different agenda, and I don't know that I know what that is. Once you get used to his rhythm, which is almost impossible to do, you just go with it. I found him very vulnerable and eccentric and tender, particularly on [1993's Manhattan Murder Mystery] because it was while all that stuff was going on in his personal life.'' -- The Substance of Fire's Ron Rifkin on Prodigy

''[I try to emulate] Soupy Sales [in my acting]. Mostly Soupy -- but maybe a little Jimmy Stewart with some Nipsey Russell thrown in.'' -- Fools Rush In's Matthew Perry on Microsoft Network

''Ving is short for Irving. I was teased as a child growing up in Harlem. They would call me Ving, as in V-I-N-G-O.'' -- Rosewood's Ving Rhames on AOL
