My desire is to be a forgiving, non-judgmental person.

My desire is to let go of my ego and let in His direction.

The ranch was raw land when I bought it and, for better or worse, I have designed every aspect of it from the corrals, the arena, to the barn, to the house.

I wrote my children’s book because I believe there are children that are hurting and may need to know that there is love out there for them- God’s love.

I have always been intrigued with singing and I actually started my career in musical comedies.

Born: December 6, 1953 in Whitewater, Wisconsin, USA

[2008 interview with the ‘Seattle Gay News’, refuting the false rumors that he had ever been married to a woman and/or had a child with her] That information–having a wife and child–is false. In the world of the internet, there are many falsehoods. Anyone can write stuff on Wikipedia and it doesn’t have to be true. I’m comfortable being among the lists [of gay actors] although I stopped acting about 10 years ago.

[on working with F. Murray Abraham in Amadeus (1984)] Here’s the thing about Murray: he’s not just a superb actor, he’s a superb acting partner. Actor to actor, there was not a moment he was not with me.

I think the things that make people different are the things that make them the most beautiful.

If we take care of ourselves first, our spirits, our hearts, we can be strong alone. But when you find someone who adds to your life in a way you can’t, and makes you a better person, you become an invincible couple. Two strong, alive people inspiring each other daily. That’s the ticket.

“I live in a town where if you’re a woman over 40, you’re really passé. In the movies, a Sean Connery can get Catherine Zeta-Jones as a love interest. But Shirley MacLaine can’t have Billy Crudup as a boyfriend”.

Now that I’m directing is where I’ve felt how difficult it is. Out of 200 or so movies made last year, only seven were directed by women. There’s been an enormous leap of women producers and heads of studios, but strangely enough, those women haven’t given other women a boost. It’s very frustrating.

I think the best way to keep a relationship hot is to simply try to make time for each other. That’s it.

When I first started working on ‘Secret Diary,’ I definitely felt like I needed to shape up. The idea of being in my knickers on TV was a great incentive! Now I try to eat right, and I go to Bikram yoga three or four times a week. I have my ‘naughty’ days, and I indulge in pizza and cake, but so what!

A colorful Chanel bag is a way to mix up anything.

Happy Birthday: Ulrich Thomsen

ulrichthomsen.jpgUlrich Thomsen

Born: December 6, 1963 in Odense, Denmark

His debut on film was in Ole Bornedal’s Nightwatch (1994). Since then a number of roles in, among others, Thomas Vinterberg’s The Biggest Heroes (1996), Susanne Bier’s Credo (1997) and Anders Thomas Jensen’s Flickering Lights (2000). However, the major breakthrough came in the film Festen (1998) by Thomas Vinterberg, playing the part as Christian, the son. This performance made him well known outside Denmark, earning him a bad guy role in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough (1999) and a part in the English film Killing Me Softly (2002).

I busted a mirror and got seven years bad luck. But my lawyer thinks he can get me five.

A friend of mine once sent me a postcard with a picture of the entire planet Earth taken from space. On the back it said ‘Wish you were here.’
Be nice to your children. After all, they are going to choose your nursing home.

I had some eyeglasses. I was walking down the street when suddenly the prescription ran out.

A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

I wrote a song, but I can’t read music. Every time I hear a new song on the radio I think, ‘Hey, maybe I wrote that.’

Do you think that when they asked George Washington for ID that he just whipped out a quarter?

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…

[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…
