3 December 2020 Karl Jaspers Only then, approaching my fortieth birthday, I made philosophy my life’s work.
3 December 2020 Samantha Barks I’ve looked after my money. As I started working around my third birthday, my first check went straight to the bank.
3 December 2020 Cody Horn And I was very shy as a kid if you sang me ‘Happy Birthday,’ I would cry. Quite shy. So the idea of being an actor, much less a model, was just out of this world.
3 December 2020 Giada De Laurentiis When I was a kid, for my birthday every year, my mother made me pasta bechamel, which is rigatoni with a white cream sauce.
3 December 2020 Amy Poehler I worked at an ice cream parlor called Chadwicks. We wore old-timey outfits and had to bang a drum, play a kazoo, and sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to people while giving them free birthday sundaes. Lots of ice cream scooping and $1 tips.
3 December 2020 Otis Blackwell I used to go down every year for the remembrance of Elvis’ birthday. Memphis State College invited me to sit in the auditorium and speak to the people for one of those Elvis days.
3 December 2020 Lewis Carroll There are three hundred and sixty-four days when you might get un-birthday presents, and only one for birthday presents, you know.
3 December 2020 Stephen Hopkins 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.
3 December 2020 Jackson Browne I told my father I wanted to play the banjo, and so he saved the money and got ready to give me a banjo for my next birthday, and between that time and my birthday, I lost interest in the banjo and was playing guitar.
3 December 2020 Mindy Kaling Anybody can have a birthday. It requires nothing. Murderers have birthdays. It’s the opposite of anything that I believe in. And I don’t like at work where you stop everything to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to someone. I feel like that’s for children.
3 December 2020 Steven Wright I remember when the candle shop burned down. Everyone stood around singing ‘Happy Birthday.’
3 December 2020 Rachael Ray I tried to bake a cake for my mother’s birthday – it took me four hours. It was terrible, and I cried for three days.
3 December 2020 Matthew Sweet The summer of 2002 at the Wilson birthday party I met Van Dyke again and I made plans to have dinner with him.
3 December 2020 Annie Dillard It is ironic that the one thing that all religions recognize as separating us from our creator, our very self-consciousness, is also the one thing that divides us from our fellow creatures. It was a bitter birthday present from evolution.
3 December 2020 Bindi Irwin If there’s one thing I really want for my birthday, that is for the mining company not to mine my daddy’s reserve.
3 December 2020 Jerry Seinfeld You know you’re getting old when you get that one candle on the cake. It’s like, ‘See if you can blow this out.’
