Jonathan Banks’s 5 most popular quotes

• When I walk onto a set, no matter what it is, I always do the very best work that I can. But I’m not braindead, and I want to do things that I want to do, you know?
• The funniest guy I’ve ever worked with – it’s just one of those things, again, where we look at each other and just laugh – is Jimmy Byrnes from ‘Wiseguy.’ Jimmy – we can’t be in the same room together. He knows he can make me laugh just by looking at me.
• I’ve got eighteen-year-old twins that need to go to college, so there’s still a financial issue, but I could retire tomorrow and just count ducks by the side of the lake, and that would be just fine by me. I’m not a high-energy guy.
• ‘Wiseguy’ for its time was good. It was really good. And it holds up still. But a lot of the restraints have been taken off now.
• I honestly do feel – and I hope I don’t gag anybody if they read this – but I feel like I’m one of the luckiest people in the world.

American actress
Born: January 31, 1973

Portia de Rossi was born and raised in Geelong, Australia. Originally born Amanda Rogers, at age 15, she changed her name to Portia, saying that it was the most daring thing she had ever done up until that point. After graduating from high school, she attended the University of Melbourne and studied law. Although she studied diligently, in 1993, Portia found herself giving special notice to a casting director who saw her in a commercial, and she soon auditioned for Sirens (1994), a low-budget comedy starring Hugh Grant. She was cast in the role of Giddy, one of the three gorgeous models in the movie. It wasn’t until 1997, however, that Portia at last began to attract real attention. She had an unforgettable role as Murphy in Scream 2 (1997), and in 1998 she joined the cast of Ally McBeal (1997) as the “Ice Queen,” Nelle Porter. She has also worked on such projects as Stigmata (1999), Girl (1998), and The Invisibles (1999), and she has appeared on several magazine covers, including Shape.

Portia de Rossi’s 5 most popular quotes

• Everyone is their own kind of lesbian. To think there’s a certain way to dress or present yourself in the world is just one more stereotype we have to fit into.

English singer
Born: January 30, 1951

Phil Collins was born in Chiswick, London, England, to Winifred (Strange), a theatrical agent, Greville Philip Austin Collins, an insurance agent. He spent most of his early entertainment life as a young actor and model. He played the “Artful Dodger” in the West End production of “Oliver!” alongside the future movie screen “Artful Dodger,” Jack Wild. His interest in music and drumming began at school, where he drummed with a stage school band “The Real Thing,” subsequently joining “Freehold” and “Flaming Youth.” “Flaming Youth” recorded an album to some critical acclaim, although the group disbanded shortly afterward. Collins later successfully auditioned for Genesis, taking over vocals from Peter Gabriel when he left the band in 1975.

After separating from his first wife, Collins recorded his first solo album, “Face Value.” The album was well received, and Collins started to become a household name after the song “In the Air Tonight” was featured on the US TV show Miami Vice (1984). This instigated a guest appearance on the show as a game show host. His third LP, “No Jacket Required,” produced multiple chart hits and awards.

Phil Collins’s 5 most popular quotes

• In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn.
• When destiny calls you, you’ve got to be strong. I may not be with you, but you’ve got to move on.
• As I’ve got older, I’ve got more understanding of relationships and how they work – but every single relationship has different dynamics, so you can’t paint everyone with the same colour.
• I’m not a singer who plays a bit of drums. I’m a drummer that sings a bit.
• The binding of reason and intuition is the fundamental crisis of the era we call humanity. Transcedence of duality is the key.

Christian Charles Philip Bale was born in Pembrokeshire, Wales, UK on January 30, 1974, to English parents Jennifer “Jenny” (James) and David Bale. His mother was a circus performer and his father, who was born in South Africa, was a commercial pilot. The family lived in different countries throughout Bale’s childhood, including England, Portugal, and the United States. Bale acknowledges the constant change was one of the influences on his career choice.

His first acting job was a cereal commercial in 1983; amazingly, the next year, he debuted on the West End stage in “The Nerd.” A role in the 1986 NBC mini-series Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna (1986) caught Steven Spielberg’s eye, leading to Bale’s well-documented role in Empire of the Sun (1987). For the range of emotions he displayed as the star of the war epic, he earned a special award from the National Board of Review for Best Performance by a Juvenile Actor.

Christian Bale’s 5 most popular quotes

• I’ve had some painful experiences in my life, but I feel like I’m trivializing them by using them for a scene in a movie. I don’t want to do that. It just makes me feel kind of dirty for having done that.
• Whatever you do, do it completely. Don’t do it half-arsed. Do it more than anybody else would.
• If you’re doing your job properly, you take the risk of feeling slightly foolish and delve in and bring out the emotions.
• I tend to think you’re fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway.
• It’s got to do with putting yourself in other people’s shoes and seeing how far you can come to truly understand them. I like the empathy that comes from acting.
