Kristen Bell Interview

Kristen Bell is awesome and it sounds like she's a very nice and down to earth person. Interviewing her would be kick ass.

Bell: You know, Veronica Mars was much better than almost every television program out there, in my opinion. I think it's difficult to get that much quality in one room.


No truer words have been spoken.
