Humor is always based on a modicum of truth. Have you ever heard a joke about a father-in-law?

Music is the soundtrack of our life.

My business is teenagers. I don’t set trends. I just find out what they are and exploit them.

[on his methodology] I film quite a bit of footage, then edit. Changes before your eyes, things you can do and things you can’t. My attitude is always let it keep rolling.

[on the cinematography of Days of Heaven (1978)] With Néstor Almendros, we decided to film without any artificial light. It wasn’t possible in the houses at night, but outside, we shot with natural light or with the fire. When the American team was saying, ‘This is not how we should proceed,’ Nestor Almendros, very courageously insisted. As we filmed, the team discovered that it was technically easier, and I was able to capture absolute reality. That was my wish: to prevent the appearance…

Paul Walker (1973–2013)

Born: September 12, 1973 in Glendale, California, USA
Died: November 30, 2013 (age 40) in Valencia, Santa Clarita, California, USA

[on “The Fast & the Furious” franchise and being real and authentic]: That’s what’s capturing people, unless of course you’re doing Avengers Assemble (2012) where you’ve gotta be larger than life and you’ve gotta be out there and turn green and drag your arm down the side of a building, and jump all over the place. But for us, I like having (special effects) to fall back on. You allow the creative minds to get in there and figure out how to do it real, and it gives you more to be proud of.

[on working on Hours (2013)]: What I’ve found recently is the heart, the soul, whatever you want to call it, it doesn’t differentiate: If you really live the experience making a movie, it’s…

Kaley Cuoco

Born: November 30, 1985 in Camarillo, California, USA

Married to: Ryan Sweeting (31 December 2013 – 6 May 2016) (divorced)

For me, what I really want to come out of it is to show people that I can hold together a movie, be the number one character and play someone who is twenty or twenty-one.

I will always be the way I was a couple years ago before anything happened. And that’s to my parents’ credit, my amazing parents who have been around me my whole life and raised me right. I’m very happy with what has happened so far.

Ben Stiller

Born: November 30, 1965 in New York City, New York, USA

Married to: Christine Taylor (13 May 2000 – present) (2 children)

[on advice he receives from his father, Jerry Stiller] My father is always telling me to take care of myself and get a lot of rest. He’s always saying, “Sleep will fix anything. Go take a nap”. I think he’s right. I find when I get frazzled, if I get a good night’s sleep, I feel much better about things.

(1998 quote on auditioning) It’s hard to maintain a sense of dignity in an audition. I have done so many auditions where I’ve put it out there and have been met with that kind of blank stare – “Great! Thanks! OK! Great work! Thanks for coming in!” At the door I’m thinking, ‘What the hell am I doing with my life?’

Mandy Patinkin

Born: November 30, 1952 in Chicago, Illinois, USA

Married to:
Kathryn Grody (15 June 1980 – present) (2 children)

[re quitting Criminal Minds (2005)] It wasn’t the right fit. I made a choice I didn’t want to make. I pushed myself, thinking I needed more fame, more economic security. One of the greatest gifts that Homeland (2011) has given me is it’s affirming on a daily basis. I’m always with the script, walking around with this stuff 24/7, so my head’s in a good place. The role is about listening, and when you don’t listen to yourself, you get in trouble. I wasn’t listening to myself in Heartburn (1986) [from which he was fired]. I listened to [my agent and] the culture at large saying, ‘You’ve got to be in a movie, this is going to make you,’ and it wasn’t who I was. Yes, I did Yentl…

Gael García Bernal

Born: November 30, 1978 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico

Talent survives and remains while beauty is diluted.

Histories are to educate, so that we understand better for ourselves and for motivation.

I believe fervently in the nature, in truth and imagination, I believe in the blood, in life, words, and motivations.

Elisha Cuthbert

Born: November 30, 1982 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Married to:
Dion Phaneuf (6 July 2013 – present)

[on Kiefer Sutherland] He taught me not to read anything in the media or on the Internet. He’s definitely a long-time mentor to me.

[on 24 (2001)] From the beginning, you could tell that it was something really different and it was 10 years of my life. I went from being an 18-year-old girl to a woman.

I’m not knocking 24 (2001), but after playing a character like Kim, you can’t help wanting to do something completely different. The criticism didn’t hurt me. I wasn’t writing the storylines, I was just doing the best job I could.

Ridley Scott

Born: November 30, 1937 in South Shields, Tyne and Wear, England, UK

[on directing blockbusters] You want big films and stories to keep people going to the cinema. It’s up to us to keep the bar raised. That’s the trick. I’ve always done that. (…) It is brain surgery! It is bloody brain surgery! You’re putting together a whole group of people, you’re trying to budget as accurately as you can and, at the end of it, you’ve got to sell a lot of tickets. That’s more complex than banking – but a few of us manage to pull it off. (…) I’m not kidding myself: I love the challenge. If you don’t, don’t do the job. [2016]

David Yates

Born: November 30, 1963 in St. Helens, Merseyside, England, UK

People who work in television often don’t think they can trust film makers because they are supposed to be a bit more arty and self indulgent, and people in film might think anyone who works in television is a hack. If we had more filmmakers working in television, and more television writers and directors working in film, we’d have a much healthier and more vital industry.
