Born: October 15, 1999 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA

One of my favorite traditions is that my sisters and I, we all wear the same pajamas. I’ve even still got some from when I was 6. Also, I’ll always remember cooking together in the kitchen and that no matter how busy our schedules are, we are all together for Christmas.

Lionel Barrymore first played my grandfather, later my father, and finally, he played my husband. If he’d lived, I’m sure I would have played his mother. That’s the way it is in Hollywood. The men get younger and the women get older.

[Receiving an honorary Academy Award in 1971] Oh, all the charming ghosts I feel around me who should share this! It was our privilege for a little while to serve that beautiful thing, the film, and we never doubted for a moment that it was the most powerful thing, the mind and heartbeat of our technical century.

I loved Casino Royale (2006) and Daniel Craig. He is a wonderful actor, certainly the best actor to play Bond. I have never been guilty of method acting or even acting if you want to argue a point.

Bond is an enigmatic character. My only real clue to his personality was a line from one of the books, where he said that he didn’t particularly enjoy killing people, but he took pride in doing it well. So that was how I played him.

It’s difficult, it’s a bit like acting in a silent movie. That’s what Dustin Hoffman said to me, anyway. We did the scenes with him in the first two weeks, and as he was leaving he said, ‘Well now you’re making a silent film, Ben; good luck!”.- On making Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)

Born: October 14, 1963 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA

[on the effect The Poker House rape scene had on its viewers] I had a girl come up to me, and she’s like “I’m a rape survivor.” I said, “No you’re not. Stop that.” She’s like, “What?” She’s 17 and came up to me after the movie. She said, “I was raped at 14.” I said, “That stupid ass man did a fucked up thing. It has nothing to do with you. You are not tarnished, you are not changed, you are fine. He’s fucked up. You’re fine.” Her eyes opened.

[on Jane Eyre (2011)] The challenge is that the book, start to finish, is Jane Eyre’s internal monologue – everything we know is because of what we’re hearing directly from her. So my concern was ‘How do we keep that intensity?’ I was excited about seeing how we could portray all that’s going on inside, all that she’s observing and feeling, thinking.

I had been to Vancouver a few years prior to bringing The X-Files (1993) there … so, as a filmmaker, it wasn’t a discovery for me because I had friends who knew the area and had shot there before. …Vancouver really became my home away from home, and to this day I still own a house there.

[Statement Laraine Day gave to CBS in 1968] I am very much a Republican. I think that Richard Nixon is a great man and that he is very dedicated to what he does. I had the pleasure of meeting him when I attended the Republican National Convention in Miami. You can really tell that he is willing to go out of his way to help the American people. I am proud to support him as president and I wish him all the success in the world and may I also say that it was an honor to endorse him.

Entertainment Tonight (1981) and Extra (1994), they are too salacious. They go, Oooh, Katie Couric just broke up with X. Access Hollywood (1996) is really good entertainment news. It’s not dirty, and we don’t get cheap.

Steadman! Any guy that’s got Oprah as a girlfriend, I mean that’s a good dude. I want to talk to him.

I know with me, you really have to, like, pound me over the head to say, ‘I like you. I really like you’ to get me to see it. I think if you’re too passive, you just fall into that friend role. And that’s hard to break out of.
