Ewan McGregor on the film being true: "I just thought it was really funny and it was sort of a very, very funny script and I didn't really think that it was true, and then I found out that so much of it was true. You know, in retrospect I went, 'Oh my God.'"

Ewan McGregor on the goats: "The goats were great. I liked working with them. They were, you know, they're quite charaterful goats and I quite like to look at them. They've got quite pleasing faces. I think we maybe there were baby goats that we carry at the end of the film. I'm hoping to have a little baby goat to carry around at the end."

Jeff Bridges on his character: "My character, Bill Django is based on several characters that are in John Ronson's book. It's sort of a compilation of these guys, but I got a lot of inspiration and a lot of valuable information from Jim Chanin who is a pioneer in this field and he, you know, gave us all of his creative ideas and gave a lot of creative input for our film."

Kevin Spacey on his character: "He's not a nice guy, the character that I play. He's a jealous, a petty, mean-spirited character who does everything he can to destroy who he sees as his enemy, who in this case is George Clooney's character. And I think he's an amoglamation of a couple of characters. I don't think he's actually, there wasn't actually a guy quite like this, but for dramatic purposes they sort of created him."
