[on Hard to Hold (1984)] They wanted to see me for one of the guys in The Right Stuff (1983). And I’d just gotten friggin’ Hard To Hold and I said, “I don’t need to be a part of an ensemble, I’m going to be a star in my own movie,” and it was one of the stupidest fucking decisions I ever made.

[on his Girls (2012) sex scene] That was my first sex scene and nude scene. I took that nudity waiver as a badge of honor. I took a picture of it, I sent it to my friends. I didn’t even really read it. That’s the embarrassing part. I was so excited to sign it: “I’ll show anything!”

Ray Park
Born: August 23, 1974 in Glasgow, Scotland, UK
[on having to shave his head for the role of Darth Maul] “At first, I lost my confidence a little. I’m used to having my hair, but now you have this bald thing on top. Then I got into it. It was easy and free; I didn’t have to wash my hair. I just took a hot towel and buffed it to make it nice and shiny.”

[on acting in the moment] I think all the greats really did that. If you watch Brando, if you watch McQueen, every scene you could see that they were doing something and that’s why it seemed so human and so real as opposed to actors trying to find an emotion or play that emotion when the cameras are up and the lights are on it’s hard to settle in and have a real moment. I think the only real way to do it is to have an objective for what you’re doing in the scene.

Barbara Eden
Born: August 23, 1931 in Tucson, Arizona, USA
The presence of her belly-button on I Dream of Jeannie (1965) was a non-issue until its existence was questioned, playfully, by columnist Mike Connolly. When Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In (1967) producer George Schlatter decided to premiere it on his show, NBC issued a “No Navel Edict”.
Her parents divorced when she was three and her mother Alice later married Harrison Connor Huffman.
River Phoenix (1970–1993)
Born: August 23, 1970 in Madras, Oregon, USA
Died: October 31, 1993 (age 23) in West Hollywood, California, USA
I would just look at Harrison [Harrison Ford]; he would do stuff and I would not mimic it, but interpret it younger. Mimicking is a terrible mistake that many people make when they play someone younger, or with an age difference. Mimicking doesn’t interpret true because you can’t just edit it around. [on his interpretation of a young Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)]

James Corden

Married to: Julia Carey (15 September 2012 – present) (2 children)
[on a memory of getting his first laugh] I was three and it was during my younger sister’s christening and I was lifted up to stand on a chair so I could see. I looked out at the congregation of about thirty or forty people, bu to me it seemed like thousands. And I started to do little dances on the chair and pull faces and turn around under my legs – and everyone burst out laughing. Even the vicar was laughing. And I can vividly remember something clicked and thinking, This feels amazing!
