QUOTES:
People criticize you for trying new things. I think, ‘I’m new! I’m 22!’ I don’t know exactly what my sound is or what I want my album to sound like, so I’m not releasing it yet. While I’m experimenting, I’ll let you in on the journey, and you can hear it for free.
It’s different, it’s weird to say, ‘She’s a white rapper or she can’t do this because she’s this color – this color does this thing. These are the boxes we have, this is what it is, don’t try to change it.’ And it’s crazy to me because I’m just not from that world, so I can’t really rock with it all the way.
I’ve never heard a man in a suit tell me what to wear; that’s not their forte. You hire your stylist; whatever someone’s image is as an artist is what they’ve chosen to portray.
I’ve been a little bit Las Vegas and casino-obsessed. So, I love some trashy glamour… and I think nothing’s trashier or more glamorous than a bit of a sheer number!
I’d dropped out of high school without really doing it on purpose – I’d just go home at lunch ‘cos I didn’t have friends, then stay there all afternoon listening to rap. It got to the point where I wouldn’t have passed even if I’d gone back. I was depressed, basically.
They say I’m insane because I need to have so much creative control. They say I’m unmanageable, but I’m not. I just know what I like. I’m obsessed with it. If you can’t control it, that’s like having somebody else paint your pictures. How could you do that? I never could.

QUOTES:
[joking reference to her husband, Hume Cronyn] When he’s late for dinner, I know he’s either having an affair or is lying dead in the street, I always hope it’s the street.
I must say, if I had known at the beginning of my life that this is where I would get to, I would have said, “Not possible. Not possible.”
I’m most comfortable on the stage. Because of the nature of film and television, you’ll very often do the climactic scene on the first day and the other parts weeks later. It’s hard to remember exactly what state you were in. It’s easier when you start at the beginning and go through to the end. Any new project, new play, new film, you’re really starting from square one every time. You can’t be sure enough of yourself to say, “Well, this is just a piece of cake.” It’s not like that at all — not for me.

OSCAR Winner for Best Screenplay (SPOTLIGHT). Film went on to win best picture!
QUOTES:
The Cobbler (2014) will always be a very special film to me. I’ve had a lot of wonderful response from “The Cobbler.” I’m not here to defend any of the movies I make, but I can always speak very honestly that will never be diminished by anyone’s perspective on it. [2015]
So yeah, is it hard when a movie like The Cobbler (2014) doesn’t connect critically. I’d never had that experience. But even when I was going through it, I had to have a good perspective about things, and sometimes in those situations I have the ability to go, “Wow, this is really interesting. This has never happened, and it’s a really intense feeling.” [2015]

Happy Birthday: Anna Torv
Born: June 7, 1979 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia QUOTES: I don’t feel like I’ve hit my stride. So I wonder what the moment will be when I get to be who I want to be. It doesn’t necessarily matter what your answer is to the question: What is art? So long as you have one. I didn’t know much about video games. There are some awfully violent ones. But Heavenly Sword (2007) is different. I’ve had huge conversations with a friend who made it. I think what he wants to do is to make the player care. Yes, there’s killing. But the character I play in “Heavenly Sword”, “Nariko”, is ultimately protecting her family and this runaway girl. It’s a beautiful game. It’s beyond a video game. The landscape is to protect and to care. My friend is working toward a world where you get an emotion out of the people who are playing it. See if you can make them cry if they couldn’t save the people who they were trying to protect. This isn’t “Pac-Man”. Sometimes there will be a line in the script and I just can’t imagine saying it. I’ll ask an American and they’ll say, “Oh, yeah. That’s how we say it.” We just say things differently in Australia – like torch. I’d ask, “Can I have the torch?” It seems to fall flat when I say, “Can I have the flashlight?” That sex scene in The Pacific (2010)? You don’t get that on Fringe (2008), do you? I don’t think anyone finds them easy. It’s not that I’m embarrassed about my boobs. It’s just that some part of you really doesn’t want that out there. At the same time, you want to get good at it. In the moment, what you’re really thinking is, Shit, I need a mint. Happy Birthday: Prince (1958–2016)
Born: Prince Rogers Nelson Died: April 21, 2016 (age 57) in Paisley Park, Chanhassen, Minnesota, USA Married to: Manuela Testolini (31 December 2001 – 2006) (divorced) QUOTES: You can always renegotiate a record contract. You just go in and say, ‘You know, I think my next project will be a country-and-western album.’ Cool means being able to hang with yourself. All you have to ask yourself is “Is there anybody I’m afraid of? Is there anybody who if I walked into a room and saw, I’d get nervous?” If not, then you’re cool. I’ve got more hits than Madonna’s got kids. I don’t see why I should give my new music to iTunes or anyone else. They will not give me an advance for it and they get mad when they don’t get it. All computers and digital gadgets are no good. They just fill your head with numbers and they are not good for you It’s fun being in Islamic countries, to know there’s only one religion. There’s order. You wear a burqa. There’s no choice. People are happy with that. Happy Birthday: Michael Cera

Happy Birthday: Larisa Oleynik
Born: Larisa Romanovna Oleynik QUOTES: I love my job so much, and not everyone can say that and I recognize how lucky that is. Everyone tries to talk you out of going to college. The consensus being that people are just gonna forget about you, you know, and that’s the way the business works. I’ve had a pretty charmed life, so there’s nothing that I need to take too seriously right now. If I had to choose, I’d choose my friends over my career. College inspired me to think differently. It’s like no other time in your life. I’m a normal person and I don’t have superpowers! I do normal things, too. If my mom reads that I’m grammatically incorrect I’ll have hell to pay. |
