Humans have a light side and a dark side, and it’s up to us to choose which way we’re going to live our lives. Even if you start out on the dark side, it doesn’t mean you have to continue your journey that way. You always have time to turn it around.

Happy Birthday: Virginia Madsen

Born: September 11, 1961 in Chicago, Illinois, USA

When you say no a lot as an actor, you’re going to go broke, and that’s been the hardest thing to go through in the last 10 years. Being a single mother and having financial problems is a nightmare.

Happy Birthday: Scott Patterson

scottpatterson.jpgScott Patterson

Born: September 11, 1958 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

I write a lot of music in my time off and I compose most of the songs on guitar. I’ve actually gone into the studio and recorded a few things, but it’s tough trying to sell a song. It’s all about finding that hook, that melody.

I think L.A.’s terrific. You fly an hour and a half and you’re in the mountains in three feet of powder. I also think it’s a much better city if you’re working as an actor. If you’re not working and you don’t see your dreams coming true, there can be a lot of heartache.

Born: September 11, 1987 in Corona, California, USA

He is an actor, known for Road to Perdition (2002), Teen Wolf (2011) and Everybody Wants Some!! (2016).

[on suiting up as Superman for Supergirl (2015)] The first couple of times it definitely took longer to get into. I started to think that Superman’s greatest power was actually being able to just jump into [the suit] as quickly as he does, because it’s not quite as smooth the first couple of times you do it.
