Look at what we did to the planet. We ruined the planet. Take away the human beings and all their inventions and all the stuff we’ve made and the mess we make and you’ve got a much cleaner planet. It would be a lot healthier than it is right now. Would life be better for a zebra without mankind? Absolutely. Would it be better for the trees? Absolutely.

Nobody says you should stop painting when you’re 60. Nobody says you should stop writing novels when you’re 60. Nobody says that B.B. King should stop playing the blues. So The Rolling Stones go out there and people call them dinosaurs and they say, “What are you talking about? We’re reinventing what you can do at our age and if you don’t like it, OK, but don’t try to stop us.”

[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.

Born: October 13, 1967 in San Jose, California, USA

My very first job was a cashier at Burger King in Tucson, Arizona. And I occasionally worked the drive-thru. I’d go wherever I was needed! My second job was at Dairy Queen. I stayed in the fast food royalty.

For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping.

Married to:
John Travolta (12 September 1991 – present) (3 children)

[While speaking to People magazine about John Travolta] Everything about my husband is sexy, especially his lips.

When I married John, I put my career on hold to be a wife and to have a child. Before that I didn’t have a fabulous career, but I was working. When I decided to resume acting, I had become Mrs. Travolta in many people’s eyes so I had to prove myself all over again.

It’s wonderful that the films are successful, but every new person who sees the movie is one less person I can be ‘Borat’ or ‘Brüno’ with again, so finishing a movie means having to say goodbye. Admitting that you’re never going to play the character again is like saying goodbye to a loved one. And that’s hard.

[on a scene in Hugo (2011)] So I have a bath with the dog. What happens under the bubbles is our business.

Happy Birthday: Hiroyuki Sanada

hiroyukisanadaHiroyuki Sanada

Born: October 12, 1960 in Tokyo, Japan

Sometimes I’m doing a big movie, or sometimes I’m doing a TV show, but as an actor, it’s almost the same thing for me. If I’m doing action, or comedy, or something more heartfelt, it’s a different approach, but it’s all acting for me.

I was very comfortable on the set of ‘Lost’. I was so nervous when I went on to the set because I had just watched all the ‘Lost’ episodes. I was, like, a fan. A big fan.
