Taissa Farmiga I have a rebellious teenage thing. If my mom says I can’t do it, I’m gonna do it. But I’m pretty good. That’s why it was fun to play Sam in ‘The Bling Ring.’ I got to be someone crazy and wild to the extreme, then go home and relax and get rid of the burden. – Taissa Farmiga
Sydney Wayser I asked my designer friend, Sam Klemick, to make a headdress for me, drawing inspiration from 1920s headpieces, Athena and Joan of Arc. Before each show, I have this quiet meditative moment where I put the headdress on and gather my thoughts and strength. – Sydney Wayser

Steve Earle San Antonio is like a military town. It’s like literally – when I was growing up there, there were five Air Force bases, plus Fort Sam Houston. I was always sort of near the military. – Steve Earle
Stephanie Sigman I’m in a Bond film directed by Sam Mendes, with Daniel Craig. I want it to be perfect. – Stephanie Sigman
Shea Whigham I tell people that I’ve had a chance to work Sam Esmail, Damien Chazelle and Cary Fukunaga, and those guys are working on a different level. – Shea Whigham
Shaun Livingston Being 6’7′ as a point guard and playing with Sam Cassell and Cuttino Mobley on the Clippers really helped refine my post game and play with my back to the basket. – Shaun Livingston
