Margot Robbie on playing Kylie Minogue in a movie about her life
Scott: You know Kylie has said a few times that she would love you to play her in a movie.
Margot: She did not?! Why has nobody ever told me this before?! That is wild information!
Scott: Kylie said she if a movie was ever made about her life, she would like Margot to do it. Would you do it?
Margot: I am beyond honoured. Of course I could not, I can't sing, I can't sing like Kylie. I don't like it when people can't actually sing and do a singing movie you know...
Colin Farrell quotes an online article: "Kylie says Margot Robbie is her dream choice to play her in a hypothetical movie about her life..."
Margot: Kylie was the first ever concert I went to - the KylieFever tour in Sydney.

Colin on reading the Script for The Batman 2
Scott: The internet wants to know if you've read the script for The Batman 2 yet?
Colin: Affirmative.
Scott: You have?
Colin: I have. Every page, every sweatily designed, belabored page that Matt Reeves took and deserved to be given the opportunity to take three years to create. I mean, he's so meticulous as a writer and as a director, so detail oriented. But the script is extraordinary.
Scott: Have you just had a leaf, or have you learned it?
Colin: I've only got two scenes, so I'm probably close to word perfect. I haven't got many lines in the film. To be honest with you, man, from one read, there's not that much for myself, which I'm fine with because I was spoiled to Rotten doing, eight hours of the Penguin show for HBO. But yeah, the script is really, it's really moving. Anyway, if I say anything, literally I will get a call and they'll be like, stop talking about it. It's extraordinary, it's an amazing piece of writing.
