1. Everyone Gets Fat
"You start off the day really hungry and the food's right there and it's warm and you're grubbing and then four scenes later it's like, get the food out of my face." - Jay Hernandez
"I gained 10 pounds in five weeks. Seriously. I think Luis gained 25. And, Alfred Molina, we were only partway through and he was like, I've already gained 13 pounds! So we'd check in every week and be like, how much did you gain?" — Debra Messing
2. Prepare for Embarrassment
"Everyone was doing karaoke and Alfred told Debra, I'll give you $500 if you get up there and do a song. She's like, ok! She jumped up, ran over, and sang a song. The moment she got back she was like, you're gonna pay up and Alfred's like, what are you talking about? She made him pay the five hundred dollars!" — Jay Hernandez
"I think Christmas is your family job review. They can catch you on anything. It [goes back to] what you said you were going to be as a kid. An actor, a writer, whatever. They're like, 'How's that job at 7-11 working out for you?'" — screenwriter Rick Nejera
3. Just Let Loose
"I took dancing lessons since the time I was three and it's been a hundred years since I've danced, but I love to dance. I've got it in my soul and I think I've found my inner Latina. But I am that nerdy when it comes to dancing to house music. I have no idea how to pop and lock." — Debra Messing
"[Being on that ledge] was the scariest day of my life. But I did it. When they first gave me the role, they said 'We gotta tell him he's gonna be hanging on the fifth floor ledge.' I'm terrified of heights, but I'm willing to try something once!" — Luis Guzman
4. Remember Love Will Save the Day
"One of my inspirations was Love Actually. It was a great snapshot of families and this world. I got it completely. It's a universal story." — Rick Nejera
Nothing Like the Holidays opens this Friday in theaters everywhere.
