The reason I always loved ‘The Omen’ so much, and what has always been scariest to me, is anything to do with God. Anything to do with God is quite frightening because fear is something that’s very much expressed in a church environment, and I grew up in one. And the fear of God was very much instilled me at a very young age.

I can say this: You haven’t lived until you’ve had to wear a triplet pregnancy belly. You would be amazed at what a girl can learn based on the different months of pregnancy to make her character more interesting.

I think TV, I think right now, and I speak for many shows. Not just our show. That TVs now in it’s zenith. It’s how the 70s were for movies-the 2000’s are for TV. I think it’s a phenomenal time for TV and to be involved in it. And I, as you know, this show slightly preempted me that curve, but God am I glad that it worked out that way. Because I really, I didn’t have much experience with TV. I had mostly done movies and some plays. So I was very lucky to end up in a show that was not only successful, but was sort of groundbreaking in its own way, or at least it pushed some boundaries!

[on ‘”Californication”…

Born: August 2, 1932 in Hunslet, Leeds, Yorkshire, England, UK
Died: December 14, 2013 (age 81) in London, England, UK

[on Ursula Andress] I’ve had luck with my leading ladies. The real shocker was Ursula Andress, with whom I made What’s New Pussycat (1965). She’s a bloody sex symbol and all that, and yet she’s one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. A real mother hen, looking after everybody.

[on Katharine Hepburn] I worship that bloody woman. I’ve never enjoyed working with anyone so much in my whole life, not even Richard Burton. There were no problems, not a one.

[on Sophia Loren] Sophia is gorgeous, a marvelously put together machine. But she’s a grievous card sharp; in Naples, they’re born with a pack of cards. Give her a nudge and she’s the funniest woman in the world. A helluva woman!

[on her work with William Powell] I never enjoyed my work more than when I worked with William Powell. He was a brilliant actor, a delightful companion, a great friend and, above all, a true gentleman.

[Speaking in the late 1960s] I admire some of the people on the screen today, but most of them look like everybody else. In our day we had individuality. Pictures were more sophisticated. All this nudity is too excessive and it is getting very…

Alan Thicke (1947–2016)

Gloria Loring (1970 – 1983) (divorced) (2 children)

[on his on- and off-screen chemistry with Joanna Kerns, who played Maggie Seaver]: We never went on a date, but we had chemistry, which our unrequited romance preserved for the entire show.

I play every week and I guess I used to be a better puck-ducker. During one of the pick-up games, I got in the way of a slap shot and it cost me five teeth and 30 stitches both inside the mouth and outside.

[on rumors he turned down the lead in “Schindler’s List”]: You know, that’s one of those wonderful urban…

Steve Buscemi

Married to: Jo Andres (1987 – present) (1 child)

(On working on The Sopranos (1999)) I feel really privileged to have been a part of it and to have worked that closely with it, as a director and as an actor. And as an audience member, I’m still in awe of the show. For me, it never lost that sense of, ‘Holy shit… this is fucking great’.

(2011, on Trees Lounge (1996)) It was sort of my life. At 19, I was truly directionless, living with my parents. I was driving an ice-cream truck and working at a gas station. There’s nothing wrong with those jobs – it’s hard work. But my boss at the gas station was grooming me to be a mechanic, and that’s not what I wanted. The drinking age was 18 then…

Taylor Swift

Born: December 13, 1989 in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA

If I’m in the mood to be held accountable for every single article of clothing on my body – whether it matches, if it clashes, if it’s on trend – then I go out. If I’m not interested in undergoing that kind of debate and conversation – regarding how I’m walking, whether I look tired, how my makeup is right, what’s that mark on my knee, did I hurt myself? – I just don’t go out.

[on her female fans] They’re discovering the music that tells them how they are going to live their lives and how they should feel and how it’s acceptable to feel. I think that that’s kind of exciting.

I struggle to find a woman in music who hasn’t been completely picked apart by the media, or scrutinized and criticized for aging, or criticized for fighting…

Christopher Plummer

Patricia Lewis (4 May 1962 – 10 January 1967) (divorced)
Tammy Grimes (19 August 1956 – 2 September 1960) (divorced) (1 child)

[on being asked whether he had made his peace with his most famous film The Sound of Music (1965)] Oh, God no.

[on the enduring appeal of The Sound of Music (1965)] Yeah, it drives me nuts. It has nothing to do with the movie, it’s just a relentless pursuing of this film that goes on and on and I’ve gone on and on, far above and beyond it and then to be reminded of it, God almighty what is the matter with people?

Too many people in the world are unhappy with their lot. And then they retire and they become vegetables. I think retirement in any profession…

Jamie Foxx

Born: December 13, 1967 in Terrell, Texas, USA

[on wearing prosthetic eyelids which made him blind in Ray (2004)] After six hours of being blind, you lose the sense of how a person is physically. It was amazing to hear the little buzzing voices all around you.

[2005 Academy Awards acceptance speech for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Ray (2004)] I guess we got to do it again. “Oh, ah!” Yeah, you’re ready. That’s for Ray Charles. Give it up for Ray Charles and his beautiful legacy. And thank you, Ray Charles, for living.

I got so many people to thank tonight. First I want to start it out with Taylor Hackford. Taylor, you took a chance, man. I mean that love for Ray Charles was deep, down in the earth. It’s cracked open. And it’s spilling. And everybody’s drowning in this love. I thank you…
