"Damn," Oteri says, "this movie turned me on."

Oteri plays Sleeping Beauty, who keeps falling asleep.

"She was really tired."

"She takes her Ambien."

"No, no, you can't use that."

"Look at Bill, he's writing that down!"

"Here's a quote for you, Bill," say Poehler. The other three start chanting "pull quote, pull quote, pull quote." Poehler explains, "These ladies don't have any luck with the guys because they don't wait for the men to save them in this movie. So it's all about ladies saving themselves."

No love interests for the princess people?

"It's real life, Bill," Oteri says. "Grow up."

"Wait a second. I kissed a guy in the movie," Rudolph says. She plays Rapunzel, who lets down her hair for the villain, Prince Charming (Rupert Everett), an actor, naturally. "Of course, I had to betray my friends to do it."

This interview is the first time the four princesses have actually sat together in the same room. When they did the voices, they performed in sound studios, alone, in either New York or Los Angeles, reading from a script.

Next question: "We're curious about the voices, how voice acting might be different from, umm, acting acting, yes?"
