Quotes 

• Jennifer Tilly : Isn't Josh a doll?

  Steven Phillips : Oh, yes, he's a real doll. He's like a regular little Chucky.

• Steven Phillips : [to the gate guard, after being informed that he may enter the studio grounds as a 'walk-on']  Let me ask you - is this the lowest a human being can go? I mean, is there such a thing as a 'crawl on?'

• Martin Scorsese : I want to do a remake of "Raging Bull" with a really thin guy. Not just thin, but REALLY thin. Thin and angry, thin and angry, thin and angry. Can you see it? Can you see it?

  Steven Phillips : Kind of.

  Martin Scorsese : Is there a Starbucks near here?

  Steven Phillips : I'd be careful. I think you had your quota.

  Martin Scorsese : Quota! That gives me an idea for something else entirely. I don't know you, we never had this conversation, we never met.

  [walks off] 

  Steven Phillips : Hey, I sent you a script a few years ago.

  Martin Scorsese : Never got it.

• Sarah : I feel like you're losing your edge.

  Steven Phillips : Jesus! I am hearing this from everybody!

  Sarah : That's because it's true.

• Laura Phillips : [after Sarah has escaped with tied-together bedsheets]  Those are my best sheets!

  Steven Phillips : That is so low on our priority scale right now.

• Steven Phillips : The muse, the muse... the goddamn muse.
