Camila Alves
Women inspire me. Women in the airports, around the country in different cities, destinations around the world, inspire me with the way they express their individuality.

Kevin Garnett
Sometimes when I hear commentating, it's sickening. People who never played the game, people who never played in the league have an opinion, and that's all it is. You are here to educate the watcher or the viewer. Sometimes it comes off as personal.
5
Raven Goodwin
I was a huge movie watcher, but I really loved 'Kenan & Kel,' 'Rugrats,' 'Doug,' & 'Catdog.' I was also into drama films, though, and I really loved 'Poetic Justice' and 'Set it Off.'
6
Oscar Isaac
I think that's why often people in creative fields can feel so alone is because there's a constant third eye, that constant watcher.

Lindsey McKeon
My husband loves the '90s; he's an avid '90s movie watcher, and it drives me insane. Nothing real came out of the '90s! The bad bathing suits that came up too high on women's hips came out in the '90s!
10
Josh Peck
I think whether you're a movie critic and have seen a million movies, or you're just a normal popcorn movie watcher, you can tell the difference when someone is just laying it on too thick.
