[upon losing to Peter Ustinov for the 1961 Oscars] When I hit the seat, I turned to the press agent and said “You’re fired!”. I didn’t want him charging me for another day.
[on Columbo’s appeal] What are you hanging around for? Just one thing. You want to know how he gets caught.
Lauren Bacall (1924–2014)
Born: September 16, 1924 in The Bronx, New York City, New York, USA
Died: August 12, 2014 (age 89) in New York City, New York, USA
I don’t think being the only child of a single parent helped. I was always a little unsteady in my self-belief. Then there was the Jewish thing. I love being Jewish, I have no problem with it at all. But it did become like a scar, with all these people saying you don’t look it.

I feel great about it. I did six full years, and I loved it. I just felt like it was time. Not everything is going to be a perfect decision. Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss, and that’s the way it goes – about leaving Saturday Night Live (1975) to pursue a film career.

I like the person who commits and goes all in and takes big swings and then maybe fails; who jumps and falls down, rather than the person who points at the person who fell and laughs. But I do sometimes laugh when people fall down.

(1996) Meg and I didn’t have any connections in Hollywood. I think it’s amazing that two girls who grew up really poor in rural Canada came to Hollywood and have successful careers and get nominated for Oscars out of nowhere – out of an idea I had. The thing is, we’re tremendously aggressive; we say, “This is what I want, why can’t that be me?”. I just knew I had to be an actress. I had some vision – this was when I was seven or eight – of myself at 40, a housewife with curlers in her hair, watching TV and crying because I had never followed my dream of being an actress. I always remember having that vision.

I was exploring with different sounds and collaborators over the course of a couple years, and I fell into a really natural place where I was creating music that felt true to who I am, not only in what I talk about but in the style of music as well.. I think the R&B soulful side of things definitely had an influence on some of that subject matter being a little sexier.

Mickey Rourke
Born: September 16, 1952 in Schenectady, New York, USA
I lost the house, the wife, the credibility, the entourage. I lost my soul. I was alone … I’m sort of OK with it now, but the first time I’m in there, pushing a f***ing cart, getting my supper. I used to go to the 24-hour place in gay town, so no one would recognize me. The only thing I could afford was a shrink, so that’s where my money went. Three times a week for the first two years. The year after that, twice a week and now I’m down to once a week. I’ve only missed two appointments in six years.
