My mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday so I said I wanted to read poetry with her.

I had a birthday one night on a farm we were shooting on. I walked into the tent and there were 150 people waiting for me all wearing masks of my face.

Only then approaching my fortieth birthday I made philosophy my life's work.

I quit high school on my birthday. It was my senior year and I didn't see the point. This was 1962 and I was ready to make music.

I used to be good with kids but as I get older I'm grumpy and terrible with them. As for doing a gig at a 6-year old's birthday party you couldn't pay me enough.

I binge when I'm happy. When everything is going really well every day is like I'm at a birthday party.

The main prank that we play with props is for people's birthdays. The special effects people will put a little explosive in the cake so it blows up in their face - that's always fun to play on a guest star or one of the trainees or someone who's new.

My biggest hero Gregory Peck was my birthday present on April 14 1973. I just sat and stared at him.

I hate birthdays.

Most of us can remember a time when a birthday - especially if it was one's own - brightened the world as if a second sun has risen.
