3 December 2020 Brit Marling I get uncomfortable when people give me presents and watch me open them. I don’t have birthday parties, because the idea of a group of people singing and looking at me while I’m blowing out candles gives me hives.
3 December 2020 Lionel Blue To my surprise, my 70s are nicer than my 60s and my 60s than my 50s, and I wouldn’t wish my teens and 20s on my enemies.
3 December 2020 Celine Dion I often buy myself presents. Sometimes I will spend $100,000 in one day in a posh boutique.

3 December 2020 Stephanie Cutter My brother got a .22 for his 12th birthday I got a .22. He got a hunting knife I got a hunting knife.
3 December 2020 John L. Phillips There weren’t any astronauts until I was about 10. Yuri Gagarin went into space right around my 10th birthday.
3 December 2020 Joe DiMaggio You always get a special kick on opening day, no matter how many you go through. You look forward to it like a birthday party when you’re a kid. You think something wonderful is going to happen.
3 December 2020 Adele Mum loves me being famous! She is so excited and proud, as she had me so young and couldn’t support me, so I am living her dream, it’s sweeter for both of us. It’s her 40th birthday soon and I’m going to buy her 40 presents.
3 December 2020 O. J. Simpson Nicole will come up in conversations where it’s in a part of the conversation. Or we may be somewhere and I would tell some story about their mother and I. You know, we always honor her birthday.
3 December 2020 Gloria Stuart I’m amazed. When I was 40, I thought I’d never make 50. And at 50 I thought the frosting on the cake would be 60. At 60, I was still going strong and enjoying everything.
3 December 2020 Rodney Dangerfield With my wife I don’t get no respect. I made a toast on her birthday to ‘the best woman a man ever had.’ The waiter joined me.
3 December 2020 Chris Brown My best kiss was on stage. Kelly Rowland from Destiny’s Child gave me a really nice soft kiss on my lips during a performance on my birthday. It was amazing.

3 December 2020 Mary Antin On a royal birthday every house must fly a flag, or the owner would be dragged to a police station and be fined twenty-five rubles.
3 December 2020 Jim Valvano My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.
3 December 2020 Cheryl Hines For my birthday my husband learned to cook and is cooking one day a week for me. But he only likes to do fancy dishes. So we end up with weird, obscure things in the refrigerator.
3 December 2020 Samuel Johnson The return of my birthday, if I remember it, fills me with thoughts which it seems to be the general care of humanity to escape.
