• What I’ve learned from myself is that I don’t have to be anybody else. Myself is good enough.
• You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t sustain you. What is fundamentally beautiful is compassion, for yourself and those around you. That kind of beauty inflamed the heart and merchants the soul.
• Every time I overcome an obstacle, it feels like success. Sometimes the biggest ones are in our head – the saboteurs that tell us we can’t.
• What is fundamentally beautiful is compassion: for yourself and for those around you.

Spanish actor
Born: March 1, 1969

Javier Bardem belongs to a family of actors that have been working on films since the early days of Spanish cinema.

He was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, to actress Pilar Bardem (Mara del Pilar Bardem Muoz) and businessman José Carlos Encinas Doussinague. His maternal grandparents were actors Rafael Bardem and Matilde Muoz Sampedro, and his uncle is screenwriter Juan Antonio Bardem. He got his start in the family business at age six, when he appeared in his first feature, “El picaro” (1974; a.k.a. “The Scoundrel”). During his teenage years, he acted in several TV series, played rugby for the Spanish National Team, and toured the country with an independent theatrical group. Javier’s early film role as a sexy stud in the black comedy Jamon Jamon (1992) (aka Ham Ham) propelled him to instant popularity and threatened to typecast him as nothing more than a brawny sex symbol. Determined to avert a beefcake image, he refused similar subsequent roles and has gone on to win acclaim for his ability to appear almost unrecognizable from film to film. With over 25 movies and numerous awards under his belt, it is Javier’s stirring, passionate performance as the persecuted Cuban writer, Reynaldo Arenas, in Before Night Falls (2000) that will long be remembered as his breakthrough role. He received five Best Actor awards and a Best Actor Oscar nomination for his portrayal.

Javier Bardem’s 5 most popular quotes

• I do respect people’s faith, but I don’t respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control.
• Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time.
• I think we are living in selfish times. I’m the first one to say that I’m the most selfish. We live in the so-called ‘first world,’ and we may be first in a lot of things like technology, but we are behind in empathy.
• Sometimes I say to myself, what are you doing in this absurd job? Why don’t you go to Africa and help people? But I cannot help people, because I am a hypochondriac.
• Imagine the situation between Israel and Palestine. It’s such a big mess. You can be on one side or the other. But what’s clear is that there’s an urgent need for a solution there and that’s been dragging on for so long.

Ron Howard’s 5 most popular quotes

• One of the great things about being a director as a life choice is that it can never be mastered. Every story is its own kind of expedition, with its own set of challenges.
• I think it’s in our nature to try to get beyond that next horizon. I think that when we as a species are scratching that itch we’re actually following an evolutionary compulsion that is wired into us. I think good things come of it. That’s the philosophical side.
• Humor is unavoidable. It might not feel funny in the moment, but more often than not there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
• If I had to choose between a great acting job and a good directing job, I’d choose the directing job.
• I think the most important thing really was that you could take very personal ideas and present them to an audience in entertaining ways.

American actress
Born: February 28, 1948

Bernadette Peters is an American actress, singer, and children’s book author who is famous as one of Broadway’s biggest stars. Working successfully on musical theatre, television, films, and music for nearly six decades, she has been described as “an ageless storybook princess.” She is particularly known for working on the musicals by legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, according to whom she is a rare artist who “sings and acts at the same time.” However, it was not originally her idea to be in show business; her mother played a huge part in making Peters an all-American star. Much of her career was built upon the ambitions of her mother, who enrolled her daughters in acting, singing, and dancing classes and took them to auditions when they were very young. Eventually, she won two “Tony Awards,” three “Drama Desk Awards,” one “Golden Globe Award,” and four “Grammy Awards” as part of her Broadway cast. She became the youngest performer to be inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame. She also has six solo albums and performs regularly in her solo concerts.

Bernadette Peters’s 5 most popular quotes

• You’ve got to be original, because if you’re like someone else, what do they need you for?
• I lost a very dear friend who lived with AIDS for about 17 years. Rejecting early treatments that were iffy, he thought he saved himself. I really miss him a lot.
• Stephen Sondheim told me that Oscar Hammerstein believed everything that he wrote. So there’s great truth in the songs, and that’s what was so wonderful to find.
• I’ve been fortunate in my career to have performed in revivals of great musicals and to have originated roles in musicals that have in turn been revived. And I’m not dead!
• Getting plenty of sleep is always great. It really is. I have a girlfriend who’s sending me a slant board.
