"Right now I don’t have the wherewithal to be anything except professional. As soon as I found out about the arrest, I had to get on a plane to Mexico to do a press tour for Get Smart. And then I spent a week in shock at a friend’s house. And then I had to go back and do more press, and I haven’t stopped since. [...] Right now I have the distinct feeling that I’m two ages again, and the older part of me that I relied on many times in the past in difficult moments, that’s the part that got me here today. That’s the part that says, ‘You do your job, you keep your head up.’” ...

“One day on Rachel Getting Married, Jonathan [Demme, the director] altered something in the script, and I said, ‘Jonathan! Why did you change this?! It was better the other way and here’s A, B, C, D, E, F, G why!’ And he smiled at me and said, ‘Hey, Annie? Maybe instead of telling me why I’m wrong, you could ask me why I made the choice I made.’ I instantly felt so ashamed. I didn’t mean to be disrespectful to people, but that’s exactly what I had done for years.”

Awww! We feel so... proud, sort of. Next up: the book tour, if and/or when the FBI ever returns her notes.

The rumors hold that Reilly's still-undefined job might involve him assuming programming responsibilities at Fox, allowing Liguori, whose greatest accomplishment of the past two-plus years has been resisting the deliciously suicidal impulse to cancel American Idol just to see if his entire operation instantaneously disappears into a Nielsen-generated black hole, to take on a "broader role overseeing the network." Still, we worry that the men have grown apart since their FX days, as Reilly's self-destructive obsession with low-rated "class" will almost certainly come into conflict with Fox's maniacal dedication to the smoothing of demographically desirable brains. Then again, maybe their outwardly differing philosophies will create some kind of unexpected synthesis, with Reilly bringing over Aaron Sorkin to preside over a hit gameshow in which contestants are kicked in the genitals following each failure to correctly answer questions about current events of geopolitical import.
