The actresses opened up for the magazine about their careers, childhood crushes, and more. They said:
- Jessica on her superstar crush: "Ralph Fiennes. The English Patient. Of course. Those love scenes!"
- Jennifer on who else she'd like to work with: "I'd love to work with the Coen brothers. Tommy Lee Jones. Jack Nicholson. And I'd love to work with Renée Zellweger. I'm a huge Renée Zellweger fan."
- Rooney on her crush growing up: "Thom Yorke."
- Jennifer on her childhood crush: "When I was little, like '90s era, I had such a big crush on Justin Timberlake from *NSYNC that I almost threw up."
- Mia on someone she'd like to work with: "I just saw We Need to Talk About Kevin, and I'm a huge fan of
Tilda Swinton, and I'm hopefully going to work with her next year. She's one of my favorites. And that movie was probably one of my favorites of the year."
