By the time you are in your thirties, most of the time, you’ve got a job, you can pay for your rent, you can create this nice world around you. And still, you’re only in your thirties – you’re not that far away from your twenties, which is when you’re making all of your stupid mistakes.

I was all dolled up and I bumped into Greg Smith (Gregory Smith) at a WB event and he walked right up to me and looked right at me and didn’t recognize me because usually when he sees me for the show I’m the girl with the frizzy hair and glasses. So not the glamor look. The good news is I only have to spend thirty minutes in the makeup trailer. I just wear mascara, chap stick, put my glasses on and Hannah arrives.

Happy Birthday: Richard Harris (1930–2002)

richardharris.jpgRichard Harris (1930–2002)

Born: October 1, 1930 in Limerick, Ireland
Died: October 25, 2002 (age 72) in Bloomsbury, London, England, UK

I came to England first in 1954 looking for a bedsit, a room to sleep in while going to my academy. And outside the Earl’s Court tube station there was a little tobacco-list and paper shop and they had a board. A glass-filled in board with rooms for rent. And I saw one for thirteen shillings a week and it said, “No Irishmen or black need apply” and I took my jersey and I put it down over my hand and I put my hand right through the glass and I took it out and I kept it for the rest of my life. That’s how we were treated here in 1954. That would cause me grievance. That would cause me anger.

There are two qualities that I’ve noticed in good directors: One is that they have their vision very strongly in place; and two is that they listen to everyone’s opinion and still remember their vision.

[on handling fame] – It’s a little bit strange. But I’m 40 years old. If I were in my 20s, this whole thing would probably freak me out. Don’t worry though, I’m sure I’ll fuck this up somehow.

Happy Birthday: Julie Andrews

julieandrews.jpgJulie Andrews

Born: October 1, 1935 in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, England, UK

Married to: Blake Edwards (12 November 1969 – 15 December 2010) (his death) (2 children)

[on being a gay icon] I don’t know. I’m sort of aware that I am. But I’m that odd mixture of, on the one hand, being a gay icon and, on the other hand, having grandmas and parents being grateful I’m around to be a babysitter for their kids. And I’ve never been able to figure out what makes a gay icon, because there are many different kinds. I don’t think I have the image that, say, Judy Garland has, or Bette Davis.

Happy Birthday: Brie Larson

brielarson.jpgBrie Larson

Born: October 1, 1989 in Sacramento, California, USA

It’s very scary to allow the world to see you.

It’s really hard to see yourself and to recognize that you are a human being like everybody else. You just think everybody’s judging you.

I’m so used to swimming with the piranhas. And they’re really not that bad.
