Happy Birthday:Marta Kauffman

Born: September 21, 1956

[on ‘Friends’] It was so surprising to us how invested the audience was in these characters, how desperately they wanted them to be happy, how putting them together made some kind of weird sense.

[when ‘Friends’ was canceled] We did not want to go out on the bottom. We wanted to feel more like it was time for your child to go to college, not die.

Happy Birthday: Jerry Bruckheimer

Born: September 21, 1943 in Detroit, Michigan, USA

I was always looking to be entertained. We lead such full lives and a lot of us don’t lead very pleasant lives and don’t like what we do… My dad worked his whole life as a salesman and that wasn’t what he really wanted to do. He looked forward to two weeks vacation every year and he used to say to me, ‘Whatever you do, make sure you do something you really like so you don’t just have your vacation to look forward to.’ And I love movies.
