1. SOUNDBITE (English) Jesse Eisenberg, director/writer/actor:
"Yeah. My New Year’s resolution each year is to try to eat less meat. I come from a family of vegetarians, and so I’m usually guilted into that resolution because I’m sitting there with them eating lentil loaf, but also because I think I should do that, you know, for so many reasons. So, yes, that’s my continuous resolution."
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Jon M Chu, director:
"You know, with five kids and an eight week old, I didn’t even realize that I didn’t watch the ball drop or anything like that – that’s the first year I never watched. So I would just say continue to be focussed on our day to day and love my children and pay attention to the details of movie two."
3. SOUNDBITE (Engilsh) June Squibb, actor:
(Reporter: "Are you a resolution person and what was your resolution If so?")
"I don’t make resolutions, but I went into this year with this wonderful film, you know, doing so well. And then with ‘Eleanor’ coming up. So I’m very excited about the business end of these years, for me."
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Mike Leigh, director
"No I haven’t made a resolution. Now you mention it, I ought to. Maybe I’ll think about it."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Nabhaan Rizwan, actor:
"My New Year’s resolution? I want to eat more exotic fruits."
(Reporter: "Fruits?")
"Yes. You heard of Durian fruit?"
(Reporter: "Yes, I’ve heard of it, apparently it smells."
"It smells hideous. It tastes nice for the people who power through. But the smell and the taste buds are linked. So how can that be? Something that smells awful and tastes delicious?"
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Marisa Abela, actor
"Oh, my God. I’ve actually got loads this year. I think one of them is to use my Tate membership more. That’s a good one. Yeah. I’m going to go to – there’s like a Turner Prize exhibition at the Tate Britain at the moment. I’m going to go to that. But yeah, because I clearly did it one year as a New Year’s resolution. So it always comes out of my account, that membership, on like the 2nd of January and I’m always reminded by it and instead of, you know, cancelling it because I don’t go enough, I’m actually going to make more of an effort to go."
7. SOUNDBITE (English) David Jonsson, actor:
"No, but if I had to have one, you know, I mean, I’m trying to take a bit more time to be in the moment. I’ve had a busy couple of years and I’ve loved every moment of it. But, you know, you have to drink it in a bit. So this is one of those moments, that I’m really here and happy and in love with this."

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Christian Siriano, designer and Bronwyn Newport, reality TV personality:
Newport: "I mean, this was my first year on reality TV, so I’ve learned everything awful about myself watching it back. Who knew I was so hateful?"
Siriano: "Not at all."
Newport: "So I have a lot of resolutions. I can make a lot of changes. Yeah."
Siriano: "Nothing."
Newport: "Nothing, he’s perfect as is."
Siriano: "I’m just kidding. I would like to – no, nothing. My New Year’s resolution is to make less clothes and lay on the beach more."
Newport: "I love that. I mean, I do not like that resolution because he makes my clothes."
Siriano: "Yeah, but you’re fine, but everyone else."
Newport: "Okay."
