Robert Downey Jr.: ''I was convinced that the sequel had to be about Tony Stark's inner journey. After an origin story, some people think that the best part of the character's world has already been blown and doused. I thought: No, that can't be it. There's so much left unresolved.'' —Josh Rottenberg

Robert Luketic, director: ''We didn't really test that there was going to be chemistry between Ashton [Kutcher] and Katherine [Heigl]. We just relied on the fact that we had two such likable personalities. You look at them on the screen and you just smile. It turned out they had a lot of chemistry. In fact, they had too much chemistry sometimes [laughs].'' —Josh Rottenberg

Peter Jackson, director: ''Saoirse [Ronan] has that X factor. It's more than just acting skill; she makes you want to watch her. It's an incredible quality that only the very best film stars have. Saoirse reminds me of a young Cate Blanchett. She's terrifically gifted and she commands attention — it's quite phenomenal. Yet when you say 'Cut,' she's a teenager again: full of life and bouncy and funny and incredibly witty.'' —Missy Schwartz

Mira Nair, director: ''George Putnam [who's played by Richard Gere] in a sense is credited with beginning public relations as we understand it today. He made [Amelia Earhart] sell, as she did, fashion, luggage, cameras, whatever products that they could to raise money for [her] next flight. So he was the guy who really was the person who made her dreams happen.'' —Adam B. Vary

Hugh Grant, on costar Sarah Jessica Parker: ''In New Mexico, I would watch [Sex and the City] every night and call her and say 'I love this episode.' I couldn't enjoy it more.... Sex and the City is funny — but this film is an unbelievable comic performance. I don't know that enough people know that about Sarah Jessica. Absolute comic genius. I'm in awe of it.'' —Jessica Shaw

Roland Emmerich, director: ''I think for every movie everybody says I love disaster movies. But I actually love a good story. And disaster images just come with it. I think VFX has come a long way. We don't use models anymore. Nearly anything is possible. We can do stuff much more convincing than ever before. In essence, for me, I always try to put a spin on everything. For example, when we had this idea that the president gets killed in the movie, I said, 'Oh, not destroying the White House again. I've done this so many times.' And then [cowriter] Harald Kloser said to me, 'Just come up with a unique way.' And I said, 'Okay, it's like a big wave.' I had visited Chesapeake Bay; they have this old fleet of warships. Maybe like an aircraft carrier JFK crashes into the White House, like JFK returns to the White House. I like that!'' —Chris Nashawaty

Steve Carell, on his costar Tina Fey: ''We've never actually worked together. I guess the perception would be because our shows are so close together that there would be an overlap, and we're both from Second City, but she was a couple of years behind me there, so we never actually performed together. And it's funny, because I FEEL like we've worked together. And on this movie I felt like there was a common ground from day one — a mutual respect and understanding.'' —Chris Nashawaty

Steve Carell, on his costar Tina Fey: ''She's incredibly easy to work with — obviously she's smart and funny and charming, but I think people are going to be surprised by the depth of her acting...she's a really good actress. She's such an excellent improviser, impeccable instincts. I like the whole experience of working with her — we have an easy relationship with one another, both professionally and personally — she's just a NICE person. And I think it shows. Everything you would expect her to be, she is. Our styles worked together well.'' —Chris Nashawaty

Joel Schumacher, director: ''We shot 188 scenes in 23 days. Life on the set was insane. Everybody's stressed because you're working at a madcap pace. The combination of the zeitgeists — evening soaps meets rap — the girls on the street didn't know who to get more hysterical about [Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford or 50 Cent].''
