1947 - Laurie Anderson (performance art) "I often write to find out what I think." 1900 - Dennis Gabor (holography) "The future cannot be predicted, but futures can be invented." 1850 - Pat Garrett (law enforcement/shot Billy the Kid) 1996 - Brandon Thomas Lee (son of Pamela Anderson & Tommy Lee) 1934 - Bill Moyers (journalism) "We have to face the unpleasant as well as the affirmative side of the human story, including our own story as a nation, our own stories of our peoples.

If I have to get out of shape, I get out of shape. I do whatever is needed." | |

I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." 1920 - Eva Gabor (acting) "Marriage is too interesting an experiment to be tried only once." 1926 - Leslie Nielsen (acting) "I don't play golf to feel bad. I play bad golf, but I feel good." 1979 - Brandy Norwood (acting/singing) "I what to produce. I want to direct. I want success. I want it all.

But check
16 people born on June 7 --- 1917 - Gwendolyn Brooks (writing/poetry) "My poetry has often been called Negro Poetry and I have been called a Negro Poet. It's true I am a Negro and I hope I am a poet, but when I begin to write a poem, I don't have any social classifications in mind. I am impelled by an emotion or a thought." 1963 - Gordon Gano (music) "My family has always been very encouraging. There are certain songs they don't care for much. The first song my mother had any reservations about was 'Out the Window' and when she mentioned that she wanted to have a discussion about it, I said, 'Mom, why did you wait so long?' But she was worried that someone may see the song as a soundtrack for suicide. If you think about it, it really is saying 'don't go out the window,' but she said some people may not be that sophisticated." 1848 - Paul Gauguin (painting) "I shut my eyes in order to see." 1928 - James Ivory (producing/directing) "A great English house is the last place you would expect to see people beating each other up and yelling, but I was present at the historic moment. I was so busy looking at some footage that I didn't notice that nobody was on the set because they were outside fighting. No one had bothered to come in and say, 'I think there's going to be a little interruption here.'" 1946 - Jenny Jones (TV talk) "I actually do care about the guests and think that's one of the reasons the show is popular. I treat the guests on the show the same way I would expect to be treated if I appeared on the show -- with respect." 1940 - Tom Jones (singing) "The only thing that ever bothered me was when people compared Humperdinck and myself. I couldn't see it. He's a balladeer. I feel I'm more of an R&B singer. I inflect that in my songs. Humperdinck can't. He doesn't have it in him to do that." 1981 - Anna Kournikova (tennis) "I want very much to do well. I have always been very competitive. I smile, yes, but that doesn't mean I don't want to win." 1966 - Eric Kretz (music) "It's really touching when you realize people have enjoyed some of the frustration that we've had to go through." 1917 - Dean Martin (acting/singing) "I can't read a note of music. And when I reach for a high note, and it isn't there, I just skip it." 1952 - Liam Neeson (acting) "Even if my career is on a slippery slope at the speed of light, I will never be at a 'Star Wars' convention." 1981 - Larisa Oleynik (acting) "My friends are definitely more important than my career. If I had to choose, I'd choose my friends over my career." 1943 - Ken Osmond (acting) "I'm basically retired now, but I have rental property here in the Valley, and I maintain it and manage it myself. It's strictly single-family stuff. Some people are really surprised when they realize I'm the person who played Eddie Haskell. But they have fun with it." 1958 - Prince (music) "I try not to repeat myself. It's the hardest thing in the world to do - there are only so many notes one human being can master." 1976 - Cassidy Rae (acting) 1909 - Jessica Tandy (acting) "I can only act. Hume can write. He can direct. And he can act -- and he can put a project together." 1944 - Clarence White (music) --- Designed & produced by Peter Bailey. © 1997-2002. All rights reserved. this out!!! | |

20 people born on December 4
--- 1973 - Tyra Banks (modeling) "I don't know what to do with my arms. It just makes me feel weird and I feel like people are looking at me and that makes me nervous." 1912 - Pappy Boyington (military) 1949 - Jeff Bridges (acting) "Yes, yes, yes! Well, gosh, it's all true. It's all true. Old Jeff the experimenter, you know. But I've been happily married for, what is it? ... 22 or 23 years, now." 1795 - Thomas Carlyle (essayist/critic) "Nothing is more terrible than activity without insight." 1849 - Crazy Horse (Sioux tribal chief) 1892 - Francisco Franco (historical infamy) "I am responsible only to God and history." 1930 - Wally George (TV talk) "I am always the 'good guy' and I take on the idiotic jerks of the nation." 1940 - Gary Gilmore (criminal infamy) "Let's do it." 1959 - Bob Griffin (music) "Sure it is great to have a hit, but we continue to do what we do, and we're having a blast at what we are doing." 1942 - Chris Hillman (music) "The reason the Byrds music was so stylized was because we were all folk musicians - we all came from that acoustic background. We came from various folk and bluegrass areas, got electric instruments, and didn't know how to deal with them. So, a lot of my bass playing and McGuinn's 12-string playing evolved out of not knowing and being isolated and rehearsing every night." 1970 - Jay-Z (music) "The truth in it all, this is something we're not supposed to be talking about. We were never supposed to talk about hustling in a good light, where you would condone it. This is all that's around me and I didn't put it there, my back's against the wall. I feel that if I'm in a society that doesn't play right why should I play right? I have to break some type of rules to reach my goals. I've got a plan also. I'm bringing my life as a hustler to the light." 1934 - Wink Martindale (entertainment) 1942 - Bob Mosley (music) 1964 - Chelsea Noble (acting) "Hattie makes decisions that she thinks are wonderful and exciting, but which are empty. Like everyone in the story, she's searching. She's being deceived and doesn't know it. And I think you need to see life with God and life without, and where that takes you." 1924 - Frank Press (geophysics) 1949 - Pamela Stephenson (comedy/acting) 1964 - Marisa Tomei (acting) "You have to be very vulnerable to be an actor. I don't show it, but I have it. I guard myself." 1951 - Patricia Wettig (acting) 1944 - Dennis Wilson (music) 1895 - Fung Yu-Lan (philosophy) | |

Only three worth mentioning
1947 - Farrah Fawcett 1882 - James Joyce "Masturbation! The amazing availability of it!" 1905 - Ayn Rand "The cross is the symbol of torture; I prefer the dollar sign, the symbol of free trade, therefore of a free mind." Farrah (obviously) did not have a worthy quote, but somehow she ties in nicely with James Joyce, as Farrah of course was many a boy's (and man's) JO fantasy. | |

People born on March 26
1939 - James Caan 1874 - Robert Frost 1942 - Erica Jong 1931 - Leonard Nimoy 1944 - Diana Ross 1948 - Steven Tyler "I don't thing I'd ever feel comfortable being in a band that basically was only playing 'oldies'. I guess there's nothing wrong with that, if that's your thing, but it's not for me. I don't mean that I don't still get hard playin' our older songs, because I do. But if all we did on stage every night was play things that were hits ten, twenty years ago, I think I'd go nuts! To me, the rush of being a musician is writing the new songs, then getting on stage and playin' em for the people. The first time you do that, and you wait for the reaction, is really kinda strange. If they don't like it, you feel like a dog, but if they get on their chairs and cheer, man you feel like you're standing on top of the world." I like that quote! 1911 - Tennessee Williams 1943 - Bob Woodward and... 1971 - KeithyT - still delaying writing that first novel Just somewhere in the middle,
Not too good and not too bad. | |

1949 - Veronica Cartwright (acting)
1972 - Carmen Electra (entertainment) "We both said maybe we made a mistake, maybe this wasn't right. I mean, this was nuts. But then we said, 'What the hell. We're both in the public eye. We should have known something like this was going to happen. We're not going to let it pull us apart.' " 1889 - Adolf Hitler (historical infamy) "A meeting between two beings who complete one another, who are made for each other, borders already, in my opinion, on a miracle." 1959 - Clint Howard (acting) "First and foremost, we're brothers and we really do love each other dearly and we're really close. But with him being my older brother, he has always been very protective of me. I always had a leg up, growing up, because having an older brother, he would include me with his buddies and the games they played. I was always being challenged to compete with guys five years older than myself. Now, as an adult actor, and it may just be my perception, but when I'm on the set working, I feel like he is protecting me. I feel that confident, which is an ideal feeling for an actor to have with a director. Hey, I suffer the same insecurities and neuroses that all actors suffer from." 1951 - Louise Jameson (acting) 1949 - Jessica Lange (acting) "First of all, I don't like a lot of rhetorical conversations about characters or work. In some way, you talk it out and the mystery is gone. I don't like another actor to ever tell me what he or she's going to do in the next take. And if a director tries to tell me, it's like, 'No, don't tell me what you're going to do; this is what makes it interesting." 1976 - Joey Lawrence (acting) "I've put on about 15 pounds in the last three years -- of solid muscle. The abdominal muscles are actually showing. They're really starting to come in great so I don't want that to go. I'm just under 5 feet 10 inches and I weigh 163. I've got a 29-inch waist so that's all right and a 42 1/2 inch chest, so that's not bad. I want to get up to about 173 -- but strictly muscle" 1893 - Harold Lloyd (acting) "To develop a certain type of comedy, and to stick to that without ever changing the variety, is to invite trouble in production. For no matter how great the appeal of a player, he cannot go on forever giving his public the same kind of picture, release after release." 1893 - Joan Miro (art) "With the exception of the primitives and the Japanese, everyone has painted only the great masses of trees and mountains ... that which interests me above all else is the calligraphy of a tree or the tiles of a roof, and I mean leaf by leaf, branch by branch, blade by blade of grass." 1941 - Ryan O'Neal (acting) "Rarely are they correct in their reporting, but you know, they don't care. In fact, they take pride in it. Unfortunately, the tabloids were faltering, but O.J. gave them a new lease on life." 1923 - Tito Puente (music) "It was the explosion of dance. Remember, the Palladium was a big dance hall. I've always maintained that without a dance the music cannot be popular. People became aware of a new dance -- the Mambo -- it was 'in' to learn to dance the Mambo no matter what part of society you came from. And so here was a place, the Palladium, where everybody could come to dance or learn the Mambo. Dance studios sent their students to the Palladium, where they could learn and see great dancers-- ballet stars, Broadway stars, expert Mambo dancers--all in one place ... And I geared my music to these dancers. " 1943 - Edie Sedgwick (acting/modeling) 1920 - John Paul Stevens (US Supreme Court justice) "As a matter of constitutional tradition, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we presume that governmental regulation of the content of speech is more likely to interfere with the free exchange of ideas than to encourage it. The interest in encouraging freedom of expression in a democratic society outweighs any theoretical but unproven benefit of censorship." 1940 - George Takei (acting) "A lot of fans feel they want that original, positive, confident vision of the human future where we define our strength in our pluralism. I think the vision and the philosophy that Gene had is what people want to see. The more recent series are darker and more cynical, and that was not Gene at all ... Gene said the starship Enterprise was really a metaphor for starship Earth." 1951 - Luther Vandross (music) "I didn't buy blond wigs; I didn't walk differently. One of the things I admire most about, let's say, Aretha, is that she got crossover success based on her own terms, own talent, own approach. The same thing applied to the Temptations, to Diana , to the Supremes. ... I love it when it's like Garth Brooks; he didn't do anything to change his style of country music in order to cross over. He did what he does, and his record company did a great job at what they do." Carmen Electra? NOOOoooOOOooo!!! | |

1976 - Emma Bunton (entertainment) "I get looked after like a baby, so it's cool." 1957 - Geena Davis (acting) "I've been fortunate to discover in my adult life that I have a fair amount of athletic ability. As I child, I was uncoordinated and shy." 1941 - Placido Domingo (opera) "Every year there should ideally be some Verdi, some Puccini, an American work, and a rarity." 1941 - Richie Havens (music) "I've never been in show business as far as I'm concerned but in the communications business from day one. The music I sing is about communicating things we should know about, things we can share and things we may want to discuss as citizens of this nation and the world. To be able to share information through songs is ultimately what communications is about in the music business." 1924 - Benny Hill (comedy) "When you assume, you make an ASS of U and ME." 1824 - Stonewall Jackson (military) "You may be whatever you resolve to be." 1940 - Jack Nicklaus (golf) "Achievement is largely the product of steadily raising one's levels of aspiration and expectation." 1968 - Charlotte Ross (acting) "Simply having confidence can win me over. I also like someone who has manners. I think opening doors simply should be mandatory." 1922 - Paul Scofield (acting) 1959 - Michael Wincott (acting) "I played drums in jazz bands as a kid. I was much too much of an elitist to play rock 'n' roll." 1938 - Wolfman Jack (radio/acting) "Nobody knew if I was white or black or whatever and I kept the mystique up. No pictures, no interviews."

1976 - Kandi Burruss (music) "I wanted to have a song that was as close to a rap that it could be without trying to seem like I was a rapper -- and what I mean by that is, lyrically I said things that I think rappers would say." 1912 - Archibald Cox (special prosecutor fired by Richard Nixon) "I had actually, before the Saturday Night Massacre and the so-called Firestorm, I had been terribly worried that President Nixon might get away with his defiance of the courts. Other presidents had! So that was really what my mind was riveted upon. I think that was the important lesson of Watergate, was the reaffirmation of our faith in the rule of law; which ultimately does depend solely on the public rising up in support, morally and politically." 1961 - Enya (singing) "I draw a lot of inspirations from where I was brought up in the northwest of Ireland, County Donegal. I love to go back there, and the people are very proud of my success, but they also treat me as Enya growing up there." 1936 - Dennis Hopper (acting) "You know, if Jimmy Dean had lived, I think he and I could have run Hollwood." 1903 - Ruhollah Khomeini (religious leader) "[Americans] are the great Satan, the wounded snake." 1970 - Jordan Knight (music) "Don't let all the screaming girls make you believe you're God. Don't let all the jealous guys and terrible articles that people write about you make you think that you are nothing ... Know who you are inside." 1956 - Sugar Ray Leonard (boxing) 1963 - Page McConnell (music) "We've always wanted to be a danceable band. We've always liked that people come and dance to our music, and it could be we're playing more dance music as a result of that. We have been listening to a good bit of James Brown on the bus. Parliament-Funkadelic, the Meters - we like all that sort of thing. It's also a certain maturity that comes with age and time, being able to play a little bit slower and not so frenetically and hyperactively, which is something we've been known for and something we can still do. But the ability to play slow comes with age." 1911 - Maureen O'Sullivan (acting) "I seem to have a one-track mind. When I was having babies, I did nothing else. When I do pictures, I go all out. I really think it is easier to manage my seven. You can't afford to humor each one of them. They have to learn to do things when they are told." 1965 - Trent Reznor (music Nine Inch Nails ) "I pee standing up, just like everyone else." 1956 - Bob Saget (acting) 1953 - Kathleen Sullivan (TV journalism) 1944 - Jesse Winchester (music) "I'm not a pacifist. I just didn't think that that particular war was just. It was unjust, as opposed to, say, World War II." | |
