1. SOUNDBITE (English) Kyle MacLachlan, actor:
"Oh yes, really. It really comes down to drinking more wine and I think that's my resolution. So and that will make me a better person. It will certainly make my dentist happy 'cause he'll have to clean my teeth more frequently."
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Ella Purnell, actor:
"I want to be better at replying. I'm a very bad replier. You'll either get a response instantly or in six months. There's like absolutely no in-between. I want to be better at that. And just keep managing my stress and my health and just creating a more, I don't know, holistic, wholesome, calm environment."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller, actors - on New Year's resolutions:
Teller: "Just like - it's usually kind of revolves around health. I think that's something that I can always - you got you to treat yourself right, you know?"
Olsen: "Mine usually always revolves around like new work goals. How sad. I should say health too. Yeah. I mean I was thinking, like I always have like goals of how I'd like to - what I would like to like get towards in work, like a sense of like physical freedom is something I'm always seeking or like pushing to an edge, but you kind of need certain work to create that environment for you in different ways."
Teller: "And mine is like take more B12."
Olsen: "Right. Right. Peptides."
Teller: "Yeah."
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Da'Vine Joy Randolph and John Early, actors:
Randolph: "Do you?"
Early: "No, I always forget. I mean..."
Randolph: "You forget to do it?"
Early: "Yeah, I just..."
Randolph: "Are you like, 'Darn, I wish I did it' or you actually aren't into it and that's why you don't do it?"
Early: "I'm gonna encourage - lightly encourage myself to do it this year. I don't really do it."
Randolph: "But can I say this? I don't do it at all, I don't believe in it all. I think that when - No shade. People are constantly proactive and like... I have New Year's resolution like every two weeks."
Early: "Yeah."
Randolph: "Does that make sense? I think - but I think for some people they need that like, that would stress me out. And then I would feel like a failure."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Chloé Zhao, director/screenwriter:
"I am with the people of the - I was saying of the woods, we live on the edge of the forest. My new year begins at Samhain. So it's after Halloween, November 1st. It's more of a pagan wheel of the year. So it starts in Samhain. And but I do - I love the the Wheel of the Year celebrations because they're more nature-based than the kind of calendar we're related, that we are used to. So I like to celebrate the solstices and the equinox and the season changes and the moons. So I do - I'm actually quite intentional with, as much as possible, having some rituals around these transitional times. So I do believe they're quite important and and satisfying. Make life feel fuller."
(Reporter: "Any rituals you can share with me that you do when a new year begins?")
"You know what I love, especially in the, you know, in one of those slightly more unstable transitions, I like to bring my sisters, the women in my life, together. We will hold a circle. And that's always so nice. So nice. And we always - when we see each other, you know, sometimes at a festival or at an event, we go, 'We need to do that again.' Because it's really, you know, I think we're all yearning secretly of a time when we were gathering under the moon and howled together."
