I have endless playlists on my iPod so will throw on, say, Bruce Springsteen or The Smiths, depending on what kind of day I’m going to have. When I was 13, I was playing music really loudly in my room. My dad stormed up and told me I could do one of two things: turn it down or keep the volume but play decent music.

When I made Eight Below (2006), they wanted me to shoot digital, and I didn’t want to do it because that’s just what I need–to get a great series of takes and then find out the camera was frozen.

[on Girl Meets World] I think once we kind of checked off all the things on our checklist, the choice was easy, but there was a lot of talk. But it all came together.

[on relationships with Boy Meets World cast] What I always like about good friendships and relationships is that it does not matter how much time it’s been, you can immediately sit down and start talking where thinks left off.

We all fantasize about a relationship we’d like to do over or something we’d like to change about our past. I think there are a lot more opportunities for second chances in our lives than we think.

[1980] I’m either offered window-dressing parts in large movies or little art films no one ever sees. People think the movies I end up doing are my real choices. I do the best things I’m offered.

After filming The Deep (1977), all they talked about was my boobs for the next four years. God, if I was going to do a picture like that, I’d have done it a lot sexier. That looked like two fried eggs on a platter.

To be loved is important as is having a sense of accomplishment but to love is equally important in life especially when it is combined with taking action to do something for someone else to make their life better.

Happy Birthday: Robbie Kay

robbiekay.jpgRobbie Kay

Born: September 13, 1995 in Lymington, Hampshire, England, UK

Robbie’s first film was The Illusionist with Edward Norton. He played a 6-year-old boy but the scenes did not make the final cut. Robbie also played the younger version of Ralph Fiennes “Harry” in In Bruges. His scenes did not make it into the movie but can be seen in the deleted scenes section of the DVD.

To portray an iconic character has been brilliant in itself, and to be able to do that on a show like ‘Once Upon a Time’ enhances that because the show puts a spin on characters and makes them very different and puts core values that are very different that aren’t in the original fairy tales a lot of people relate to.
