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.

Chrissy Teigen

Born: November 30, 1985 in Delta, Utah, USA

Married to:
John Legend (14 September 2013 – present) (1 child)

Some people, I think, think that because I don’t take it as seriously as a lot of the girls do, that I frown upon modeling or think it’s stupid. I don’t at all. This is my life. I would be nothing without this. But I really don’t take it seriously.

I have to have breakfast, and breakfast has to be eggs!

When I wake up, I’m like, ‘I gotta go to Whole Foods.’ I’m constantly reading cookbooks; I bring hardcover cookbooks with me on the plane and tag pages. I just have this crazy food obsession.

David Mamet

Born: November 30, 1947 in Chicago, Illinois, USA

There’s no such thing as character development; all there is is action.

Working as a screenwriter, I always thought that ‘Film is a collaborative business’ only constituted half of the actual phrase. From a screenwriter’s point-of-view, the correct rendering should be ‘Film is a collaborative business: bend over’.

In my experience, almost every financial interchange with Hollywood ends with an accusation by the corporation of theft. ‘You didn’t do what I wanted, you didn’t work hard enough, you intended to defraud me.’ These are the recurring plaints of industry. They may be translated as: You forgot to work for nothing.

Jessalyn Gilsig

Born: November 30, 1971 in Montréal, Québec, Canada

“It takes someone pretty persistent to stick it out with me.” (on relationships)

“Everything. I would relax a little more. I thought everybody knew what was going on except me, and that I was completely missing the boat. Now, I think I was probably on par with everybody else. So, I’d just cut myself some slack and have more fun.” (on what she would change about her high school days)
