WOLODARSKY: (previously writer for The Simpsons and
Tracey Ullman)
"It was never a concern of mine to put the actors in drag before we hired
them. The story of the movie is guys who are out of touch with their feminine
side, who are forced into that world. To me, let them be uncomfortable, let
them look ridiculous - which they do - and let's see how absurd it would be to
have these jerky frats forced into these roles. The only thing I made them do
in the audition was female voices."

 MICHAEL ROSENBAUM:
"As crazy, raunchy and stupid as this movie can be, the message is
right there, especially with my character. Adam is a chauvinistic pig in
college who hits on all these women. Then he becomes a woman, and he's ugly in
his eyes, and he starts to realize that he was really mean to women."

 HARLAND WILLIAMS:
"This is honestly one of the funniest movies I've had the pleasure of
working on and I attribute that to Wally, who really let us open it up. He let
us improv, let us play. That's amazing - you find great things, great moments,
you discover new jokes, you add things to the scene that were never on the
page."

 BARRY WATSON:
"I really worked on getting down women's mannerisms, their walk, and some
sort of voice that was really going to work - those were my biggest challenges.
We had a great bonding experience, because after the first read through of the
script the three of us went and got waxed together. Three guys in their
underwear getting hair ripped out of their skin."

SAGEMILLER:
"The scenes that I shot with the boys were when they were in drag, so to
this day when I see them as guys it's weird. When I first saw them as women I
thought, Barry - you're hot; Michael - you're feisty and sexy … but
Harland - honey, I'm sorry, you're just wrong!"
WOLODARSKY:
"Michael Rosenbaum, bless his heart, carries around a video recorder
everywhere he goes; so he handed the camera to other people and they shot very
funny footage of them being waxed for the first time."
