Potent Quotables: Catholic School Girls Edition

In an interview for Moviefone, Sex and the City movie director Michael Patrick King relates his favorite on-set anecdote:

"We were filming the Charlotte-Mr. Big scene, in front of the restaurant when she's very pregnant, and there was a fire drill in the Catholic high school across the street, and all the girls came pouring onto the street in their Catholic plaid uniforms, screaming, and running directly into the shot and going up to Mr. Big and going, "We love you!" And [Chris Noth] said, "Aren't you supposed to be in school?" And two girls said, "Abso-f***ing-lutely".

Potent Quotables: Tori Spelling on Haggotry

Tori Spelling, star of Trick and the current Kiss the Bride, reveals to Out.com "what every homo should know about his straight gal pals". Some highlights:

- "We'll never get tired of the game "Which Character from Sex and the City and The Golden Girls Are You?", but if you're a Miranda or a Dorothy, own it. Not everyone can be Carrie and Blanche."

- "I secretly love it when you quote my Lifetime movies and compare seemingly hopeless situations to Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?"

- "Bite the bullet and buy your own concealer already."

Potent Quotables: Cecil B. DeMille on God Issues

During the filming of his 1956 epic remake of his own The Ten Commandments, legendary director Cecil B. DeMille wasn't sure who should fill a small but important role: the Voice of God. His Moses, then-rising star Charlton Heston, brimming with the bravado he would later be famous for, offered up his talents.

DeMille's reply: "Well, you know, Chuck, you've got a pretty good part as it is."

Potent Quotables: Michael Clayton on His Job Description

"I'm not the guy you kill, I'm the guy you buy. Are you so f***ing blind that you don't even see what I am? I sold out Arthur for 80 grand. I'm your easiest problem, and you're gonna kill me? Don't you know who I am? I'm a fixer. I'm a bagman. I do everything from shoplifting housewives to bent congressmen, and you're gonna kill me? What do you need, Karen, lay it on me. You want a carry permit? You want a heads-up on an insider-trading subpoena? I sold out Arthur for 80 grand and a contract, and you're gonna kill me?"

The above monologue, delivered by George Clooney's seemingly desperate Michael Clayton to a flummoxed Karen Crowder (Oscar winner Tilda Swinton), is just a taste of the brilliant confrontation scene between the two morally ambiguous lawyers that is the gripping climax of Tony Gilroy's taut -- and terrific -- legal thriller.
