Will is a very interesting, unique man, and I’ll tell you why. He makes love like a woman. He loves to touch, massage and feel. He makes love like he’s in touch with himself, who he is. And he’s a very sensual, incredible lovemaker.

[on doing voice-over work on Archer (2009)] It’s a workplace comedy. And even though all the characters are extreme and they’re spies and they’ve killed people and they’re all drunk and they’re incredibly sexually unscrupulous, it’s a dynamic everybody recognizes. The show doesn’t underestimate its audience or speak down to its audience. It’s incredibly literate, it’s incredibly smart, and it doesn’t assume that the audience won’t get the references.

Happy Birthday: Jason Sudeikis

jasonsudeikisJason Sudeikis

Born: September 18, 1975 in Fairfax, Virginia, USA

My floundering career has nothing to do with my lack of talent, or being a five in the looks department. It’s the height that’s going to get me, you’re absolutely correct. I don’t know why people keep hiring me. I’m like, “Guys, I’m really way too tall to be doing this.” I bring it up all the time, but nobody’s listening. Maybe it helps that I tell people I’m five foot thirteen.

[on Mia Farrow] Trying to describe Mia is like trying to describe dust in a shaft of sunlight. There are all those particles. Her conversation is clotted.

[in 1968, on his career] . . . totally isolated, really suffocating. As a child, I was always lied to about myself and about the world.

Happy Birthday: Neill Blomkamp

Born: September 17, 1979 in Johannesburg, South Africa

I don’t put any pressure on myself in terms of what people or fans do or don’t want. It really just doesn’t occur to me. I honestly just want to make the films I want to see as a fan. The film will survive or fail in my mind by how much I like it. Having said that, everyone wants their films to do well and to be well-received.

What’s great about the geek spirit is that life never seems to stop us, and they never seem to kill our enthusiasm, our optimism and our hunger to experience the world. We keep our sense of humor, we protect our dignity, we talk to our friends about the experience and then we start again fresh the very next day.

Happy Birthday: Bryan Singer

Born: September 17, 1965 in New York City, New York, USA

One thing that interests me is the notion of ancient mutants. What would people, thousands of years ago, without the benefit of science, think mutants were? And more importantly, what would mutants, thousands of years ago, think they were? Gods? Titans? Angels? Demons? And if such mutants did exist thousands of years ago, what became of them? Did one survive?

All the films I make are about 60% of what I imagine them to be.

[on his version of ‘The Great Gatsby’] The novel wasn’t set in in a period called ‘The Minimal Twenties’. It was called ‘The Roaring Twenties’. So it had to roar.
