Sci-fi sheds light on what’s going on in society, albeit in a kind of fantastical world. It is resonant with what’s actually happening, but I think people overlook it because it’s not very on-the-nose.

When stress piles up and all the darts are coming at me at once…it’s great to cry. Crying is like, Okay, I’ve had my drama. Time to move on. – quoted in Woman’s World – 7-12-05

When you’re a mom to three children, nothing bothers you. Trust me. Who cares what people say? I’ve got other things to deal with. – on the rigors of fam

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.

Happy Birthday: Luke Wilson

lukewilson.jpgLuke Wilson

Born: September 21, 1971 in Dallas, Texas, USA

[on his quirks]: I have this weird thing where I feel exhilarated when I cast things off in my life. Let things go. Even things that are important to me. Sometimes I know I’m making the wrong decision, but I do it anyway. Like, I just lost this watch that really meant a lot to me. I bought it after Bottle Rocket (1996). The first nice thing I ever bought for myself and I lost it. Yet I have this feeling of being glad it’s gone. I don’t know why.

Happy Birthday: Autumn Reeser

autumnreeserAutumn Reeser

Born: September 21, 1980 in La Jolla, California, USA

At the age of seventeen, Autumn moved to Los Angeles to study at UCLA and pursue an acting career. To support herself she waitressed in the evenings at Jerry’s Famous Deli, the Gypsy Cafe, and Cafe 50’s in Westwood. Eventually she began interning at a casting directors office, where she learned ‘the ins and outs’ of the film and television business. She quickly landed a manager and agent, and booked her first role, an alien girl on ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ at the age of 20. Her career progressed to numerous guest-starring roles on sitcoms such as ‘The George Lopez Show’ and ‘Grounded For Life’, and dramas such as ‘Cold Case’ and ‘CSI’. Her breakout role came in 2005, as the quirky-cute and socially awkward Taylor Townsend on the final two seasons of The O.C. (2003), which she received high critical acclaim.

I have a terrible, terrible fear of knives. I only buy food that I don’t need to cut… I haven’t cut my food in years! Like, I won’t even touch a plastic knife or anything sharp. And if I’m in a kitchen and somebody picks up a knife, I leave.
