Steve Guttenberg: "He lived in the Palisades when I was growing up. Everyone said great things about him, how nice he was. I've met him a few times recently and he seems like a very solid dude. Also, Police Academy was a total classic."

Woody Harrelson: "I smoked a joint with him when I was 19 in Europe. But the funny thing was, as I was traveling around, I kept meeting other cliché Euro backpackers who had also just smoked a joint with Woody. Everyone had the same thing to say about him—that he was a solid, no-pretenses type of guy."

Anne Hathaway: "For some reason I really believe that she's just a nice dork who happens to be lovely and funny. Even though her banker boyfriend is a bit of a douche."

Philip Seymour Hoffman: "I see him around the city all the time, and each time he looks to be the same: An average, schlumpy guy who wants nothing more than to be left alone to make really good movies."

Samuel L. Jackson: "He's a ridiculous character whose own brand of street cred is so over-the-top that it has somehow become infallible. He's sipped so much of his own Kool-Aid that you can no longer distinguish between Sam Jackson the actor and Sam Jackson the person. What you see is what you get, which is the definition of genuine."

Val Kilmer: "For one, he has a tree house. No joke. He's also constantly called the actor of his generation by other actors, yet he still finds it possible to pick lots of bad roles (as well as some good ones). Other 'actors of their generations,' on the other hand, act once every 10 years and knock it out of the park each time. I think there's something human in that."

Ludacris: "All of his raps are jokes that he seems to be in on. It's hard to find fault with someone when they are as unabashedly honest about wanting to get paid and laid as Ludacris."

Courtney Love: "I genuinely think that she believes everything that comes out of her mouth. Druggies always tell the truth about everything, except drugs."

Bill Murray: "His characters all have a world-weary cynicism to them that you know Murray has himself. He's very real, even when he's being a dick."

Kimora Lee Simmons: "Admittedly, almost everything that comes out of her mouth is harebrained. Yet I really do think that she actually means what she says."
