Happy Birthday: Demi Lovato

demilovato.jpgDemi Lovato

Born: August 20, 1992 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA

I chose to leave public school. I was kind of bullied . . . Everyone signed a petition that said, “We all hate Demi Lovato”.

[on Joe Jonas] He is my best friend. He has always been my best friend.

The only thing I could see myself doing is music – songwriting or producing or something. I’ve never seen myself being in any other business, I’ve been working in this one since I was 5 years old! I could do other things, but I wouldn’t want to.

[on her role in Camp Rock (2008)] It was a confidence booster. My character and I both like to rock out and now we’re not afraid to!

[on Miley Cyrus] She’s my best friend, so you better watch out. I will defend her for the rest of my life.

Happy Birthday: Misha Collins

[on the 2012 apocalypse] Good news! The Mayan calendar ends & we all die tomorrow so we don’t have to plan for the future! Hence, I’m not wearing a condom right now! But now that I think of it I never wear condoms when I’m fully clothed & checking my email.

Happy Birthday: David O. Russell

Born: August 20, 1958 in New York City, New York, USA

Married to: Janet Grillo (1992 – 2007) (divorced) (1 child)

[on how he made Christian Bale and Jennifer Lawrence win Oscars] I would never say that I made these guys win anything. I would say that it was my privilege to aspire and to create a predicament that is twisted and human and allows them to have roles that will show as much behavior and emotion as possible. That’s my goal. I want to deliver that to them. It’s my job. To create a role that is vast and complicated and emotional…

benbarnes.jpgBen Barnes

Born: August 20, 1981 in London, England, UK

I got involved [in “Caspian”] very late, very late, literally a couple of weeks before they had to start shooting. I think they were desperate, at this point. ‘Whoever walks in the door next, THAT’S the guy.’ And it was me. (The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, May 13, 2008)

Born: August 20, 1956 in Rochelle, Illinois, USA

I was very shy, but was desperate to meet boys. So my sister told me to be a cheerleader. I didn’t make cheerleading squad, so I thought, “Why not try out for a play?” As soon as I did I found out I absolutely loved it. I could cry and scream and laugh, but in a controlled environment.

Happy Birthday: Andrew Garfield

andrewgarfield.jpgAndrew Garfield

Born: August 20, 1983 in Los Angeles, California, USA

Obviously there’s something very seductive about movies, which can be attractive in a bad way if you’re doing them for the wrong reasons – for money, or for fame. I hope I won’t ever do that. I don’t feel at home in LA, I feel like I’m on holiday. It’s nice to dip your feet in occasionally, but I think it’s probably quite unhealthy to spend too much time there at once.

Happy Birthday: Bill Clinton

billclinton.jpgBill Clinton

Born: August 19, 1946 in Hope, Arkansas, USA

Married to:
Hillary Clinton (11 October 1975 – present) (1 child)

Impeached (the equivalent of indicted) by the U.S. House of Representatives, Dec. 1998, for “high crimes and misdemeanors” on a strictly party-line vote (all Republicans voted for it, all Democrats voted against it; since the Republicans controlled the House, the impeachment was approved). He is the second president to be impeached; the first was Andrew Johnson in 1868 (Richard Nixon would likely have faced impeachment, but he resigned before it came to that).

Married to:
Jane Stuart (22 April 2006 – present) (1 child)

[on Oliver Stone] I got along great with Oliver. A really interesting guy, incredible filmmaker. I met him about a year before we started shooting Platoon, auditioning for him. Then we went out to the Philippines, which was right during the whole Marcos takeover. There were tanks in the streets, so it was a pretty scary time to be there, but a lot of fun. And I got called in to meet him again for The Doors. I told Oliver I was a great drummer – which I was not. And then I was the drummer in The Doors. That was a good time.
