Born: October 8, 1944 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, USA

A great number of the war films I saw, however, didn’t match my own experience… The uniforms were pressed, the guys were clean, and they reacted in such a heroic fashion to life in extremes. No matter what Sir Laurence Olivier had to say, it isn’t just acting when something is so out of your frame of reference. You have to have an idea of what the truth is. Nobody did.

Born: October 8, 1955 in Melbourne, Florida, USA

[on his troubled past] The thing that occurs to me is that abhorrent behavior is not an airborne virus. You don’t get it because you sat on the wrong toilet seat in the subway station. Something has to occur to have caused it. Suddenly I realized I’m not ashamed of this at all. I’ve been knocked down on the canvas a number of times and I’ve never not gotten up.

Born: October 8, 1980 in San Diego, California, USA

Married Mariah Carey 2.5 months after dating her, but they’d been friends since 2005 when he presented her with a Teen Choice Award.

I kind of pattern myself after those entertainers and artists of yesteryear and just say, ‘Hey, I’m blessed that I get to wake up every morning and be creative’. That’s my job, and that’s what people pay me to do, so I love it. Before, if you were a great entertainer, you had to do it all.

Born: October 8, 1952 in Chicago, Illinois, USA

The interesting movies can definitely still be made but on a very small scale. The idea of putting that many resources to a story that might only make a certain amount of money is not what the studios want. They want movies that will move the stock price or justify giving up one of their tentpole slots.

[on Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)] In the back of my mind I kept thinking, “I’m fighting Arnold [Arnold Schwarzenegger] and I’ve got to be naked in front of the world.” So that was enough incentive. I would work, like, 20 hours and work out constantly in my gym and my trailer because of the “birthing” scene, as I call it.

Jacqueline Carlin (4 December 1976 – 14 November 1980) (divorced)
Susan Hewitt (23 February 1973 – 1 February 1976) (divorced)

[on his first return to Saturday Night Live (1975)] I’m not sure exactly why or how, but [during that episode] suddenly I got into a fight with Bill Murray. I discovered later it was with the instigation of John Belushi, who apparently was a little bit jealous that I had become the standout guy the first year, when John [felt he] deserved to. And he did; John was our ringer. But television doesn’t care too much about ringers who are short and have a beard. Somehow they took to the tall, thin, handsome guy.
