Quotes 

• James Lipton - Host : I'd be remiss if I didn't bring up the subject of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

  Seth Green : This is so funny! Like, you just have to understand - we're on "Inside the Actors' Studio" and he's like

  [imitates Lipton] 

  Seth Green : "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

  [audience laughs] 

  Seth Green : It was a rare opportunity for a goofy, awkward kid to play a guitar-playing werewolf rock star. I mean, that just seemed like... that seemed like a swing in the right direction.

  [laughs] 

  Seth Green : I got to make out with girls and fire hand-held crossbows. It was pretty cool.

  Alex Borstein : [as Loretta]  I think it's... ying-yang,

  [Seth bursts out laughing] 

  Alex Borstein : opposites attract.

  [in her regular voice] 

  Alex Borstein : He divorced me, though, it's over.

  James Lipton - Host : I know.

  Mike Henry : [as Cleveland, indignantly]  You fucked Quagmire!

  Alex Borstein : [as Loretta]  Well...! You gave me girth; I was lookin' for length.

• James Lipton - Host : You've said on occasion that you love God because he's so deliciously evil.

  Seth MacFarlane : [as Stewie; gleefully]  Mmm, oh, he's a bastard!

  James Lipton - Host : Really?

  Seth MacFarlane : [as Stewie]  He's a wicked bastard! The things he does; let me tell you. Have you read the Old Testament?

  James Lipton - Host : Yes.

  Seth MacFarlane : [as Stewie]  Good Lord, there's some fucked-up shit in there!

• James Lipton - Host : [on Mila Kunis not being present at the taping]  I'm talking of course about Mila Kunis; the wonderful irony of that role is that the exceedingly plain Meg is played by this exceedingly beautiful woman.

  [shows a photo of Mila] 

  Alex Borstein : I'm glad she's not here; I look prettier.

  James Lipton - Host : For that matter, so do I.

• Himself - Host : And now the moment the students have waited for: what is your favorite curse word?

  Seth MacFarlane : "Jesus Christ."

  Alex Borstein : [happily]  "Cunt."

  Seth Green : I'm a big fan of "motherfucker," but when Tom Hanks was on here, he reminded me that "horseshit" is fantastically useful. Because it sounds so classic - when someone's like "oh, blah blah," and you're like "that is HORSESHIT!"

  [grins] 

  Mike Henry : A series of "fucks."

  [angrily] 

  Mike Henry : "FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!

  [quietly] 

  Mike Henry : ... fuck."

• James Lipton - Host : If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the pearly gates?

  Mike Henry : "I never judged you based on all the shit jokes and all the muff jokes you told. C'mon in."
