Happy Birthday Frank Sinatra!

I believe in you and me.

Ich glaube an dich und mich.

The best revenge is massive success.

Das schönste an den Drehbüchern ist, daß so wenige verfilmt werden.

I think my greatest ambition in life is to pass on to others what I know.

Ich glaube, daß es mein größter Ehrgeiz im Leben ist, anderen weiterzugeben, was ich weiß.

Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.

Die armen Leute wollen gerne so leben wie Millionäre, und die Millionäre werden von ihren Ärzten gezwungen, so zu leben wie arme Leute.

I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family - and I don't think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.

Wenn sich ein Laster genügend verbreitet hat, wird eine Tugend daraus.

I'm not one of those complicated, mixed-up cats. I'm not looking for the secret to life... I just go on from day to day, taking what comes.

Ich bin für alles, was mich durch die Nacht bringt, sei es ein Gedicht, Schlafmittel oder eine Flasche Jack Daniels.

Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels.

Was morgen mit der Welt passiert, hängt davon ab, was wir heute für unsere Kinder tun.

Cock your hat - angles are attitudes.

Ich denke, die Leute bewundern jeden, der sich hinstellen und ein Liebeslied singen kann.

Rock 'n Roll: The most brutal, ugly, desperate, vicious form of expression it has been my misfortune to hear.

Ich werde aufhören zu trinken und zu rauchen - zum Beispiel unter der Dusche.

People often remark that I'm pretty lucky. Luck is only important in so far as getting the chance to sell yourself at the right moment. After that, you've got to have talent and know how to use it.

Ich werde Berlin kaufen und daraus einen Parkplatz machen.

Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.

Ein Interview ist der hartnäckige Versuch, den anderen an der Zunge zu ziehen.

Throughout my career, if I have done anything, I have paid attention to every note and every word I sing - if I respect the song. If I cannot project this to a listener, I fail.

Ein Prozent Glück bringt im Leben oft mehr, als zehn Prozent Dividende.

Hell hath no fury like a hustler with a literary agent.

Ein Psychiater ist der letzte Mensch, mit dem man spricht, bevor man anfängt, mit sich selbst zu sprechen.

I am a thing of beauty.

Eine Frau macht niemals einen Mann zum Narren. Sie sitzt bloß dabei und sieht zu, wie er sich selbst dazu macht.

Oh, I just wish someone would try to hurt you so I could kill them for you.

Früher hat der Mann eine Frau gesucht, die kochen konnte wie seine Mutter. Heute bekommt er eine, die trinken kann wie sein Vater.

Reich ist man dann, wenn man nicht mehr weiß, wozu man sein Geld verdient.

May you live to be 100 and may the last voice you hear be mine.

Mögest du 100 Jahre alt werden, und möge die letzte Stimme, die du hörst, meine sein.

Liebe ist, wenn man Tag und Nacht singen möchte, ohne Honorar und Manager.

Live every day like it's your last.

Lebe jeden Tag, als sei es dein letzter.

The martial music of every sideburned delinquent on the face of the earth.

Happy Birthday Hape Kerkeling!

Ich würde und werde mich öffentlich mit dem Islam nicht beschäftigen. Aus Angst.

My pilgrimage can be interpreted as a parable of my path through life. It was a difficult birth - which is literally true in my case. At the beginning of the route - and in my childhood - I had trouble hitting my stride. Until the middle of my path through life, no matter how many positive experiences I enjoyed, I experienced many twists and turns that sometimes threw me off-course. But at about the midpoint of my journey, I started moving cheerfully toward my destination. It almost seems as though the Camino has seen fit to grant me a little peek into my future. Serenity might be a goal worth pursuing.

Erwartungen verursachen Enttäuschung, Enttäuschung verursacht Befürchtung, und Befürchtung ist ja wieder Erwartung.

Dieter Bohlen nahm einen Akkord und machte daraus 17 Welthits.

Jeder Mensch sucht nach Halt. Dabei liegt der einzige Halt im Loslassen.

In dem Moment, wo ich von etwas überzeugt bin, überzeuge ich auch andere davon.

Sensiblere Naturen als ich hätten sich jetzt wahrscheinlich mit dem Fön in die Badewanne gelegt. Was soll's. Morgen werden sie eine andere Sau durch's Dorf treiben.

Mir ging es immer darum, dass es lustig ist - um nichts anderes.

Comedy muss auch Grenzen überschreiten. Das darf aber nicht zum einzigen Geschäftsprinzip werden.

Am Ende ist Leiden doch ein nicht Verstehen. Und wenn man etwas nicht versteht, muss man Vertrauen haben. So ist es also manchmal auch unsere Haltung, die uns leiden lässt.

Wenn man so auftritt, dass man keine Dominanz von anderen zulässt, dann ordnen sich viele Menschen automatisch unter.

Mal sehen was die Leute in Essen-Werden essen werden.

Am Ende ist Leiden doch ein nicht Verstehen. Und wenn man etwas nicht versteht, muss man Vertrauen haben. So ist es also manchmal auch unsere Haltung, die uns leiden lässt.

Ich glaube, dass Deutschland auch ein bißchen "Schlämmer" ist. Ist aber nicht schlimm.

Keine Geburtstagsfeier! Nur ein Big HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY to you!
May all your dreams come true!

Happy Birthday Michael Dorn!

When you're on a series, it's tough to go on and do something else afterward. If you're smart, save your money and you can wait out the bad times, until something else comes along.

I have not been recognized.

I'd love to star in a television series of my own. I love the idea of living with a character for a number of years, watching him grow.

But now they have it down to a real science where it's about an hour.

I like plays, movies, everything. It doesn't matter.

I love good comedy. I don't like bad comedy.

Even people that were never interested in science fiction are interested in STAR TREK.

I've spent so much time in that makeup that I'm now unrecognizable. The business doesn't know who I am.

When I was growing up, I had a G.I. Joe doll, and now, to see a recreation of my character as an action figure ... it's strange. Because Worf doesn't really look like Michael Dorn without makeup, it's easier to separate myself from these recreations, but it's still strange, flattering, and weird all at the same time.

I love good comedy. I don't like bad comedy. Of course, nobody loves bad comedy, but there's a lot of bad comedy out there.

Worf was seriously just a name. They didn't tell you what to do. They didn't tell you how they wanted the character to be – nothing. You went in to audition for this character name and that was it. When I started, before I came onto the set, I went to Gene Roddenberry and said: hey, what do you want from this guy? Who is he? And being as smart as he is, he said: don't listen to what you’ve heard or read or seen in the past, nothing. Just make the character your own. And that's what I did.

Ron Moore. He was the guy that on our show and Deep Space Nine wrote the best Klingon episodes. He wrote great episodes in general but he wrote the best Klingon episodes. I always could tell when he was going to write a Klingon episode because he was able to grow a beard really quick and I’d see him with the beard, like a Worf-beard, and I go "Ah, Klingon episode coming up!" and he goes "Oh yeah."

After doing STAR TREK for so many years, to do just regular makeup is such a treat. Just put some makeup on and "thank you very much," you're on your way.

I miss working with my friends and the fun we had. Working on the series was the best time I ever had on a set. I am disappointed that they cancelled the series when they did, because I felt that by the seventh season, we were really hitting our stride, and that episodes were getting better and better. Some people say that the show had run its course and that it was time to quit, but I disagree.

The Klingons were always, even in the old days, war-like but very intelligent. They weren't wild or out of control. They just believed in life to the fullest. Life, death, everything to the fullest.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL WORF DORN!
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!
MAY ALL YOUR WISHES AND DREAMS COME TRUE!

Happy Birthday Kirk Douglas!

In order to achieve anything you must be brave enough to fail.

Erst mein 100. Film wird der letzte.

The learning process continues until the day you die.

Jeder Junge muß seinem Vater eines Tages in die Eier treten.

Virtue is not photogenic. What is it to be a nice guy? To be nothing, that's what. A big fat zero with a smile for everybody.

Stars sind Leute, die hart gearbeitet haben, um berühmt zu werden, und die dann dunkle Brillen tragen, um nicht erkannt zu werden.

If you want to know about a man you can find out an awful lot by looking at who he married.

Wenn ich gewußt hätte, was für ein feiner Kerl Michael werden würde, wäre ich netter zu ihm gewesen, als er ein kleiner Junge war.

I don't need a critic to tell me I'm an actor. I make my own way. Nobody's my boss. Nobody's ever been my boss.

Tugend ist nicht fotogen. Was ist man als netter Kerl? Ein Nichts. Eine große, dicke Null mit einem Lächeln für jeden.

I guess I was a bad boy... Yes, yes, I've had lots of women in my life.

Alles andere als Golf und Schreiben langweilt mich inzwischen.
 
I have one computer that my wife gave me. All I know how to do, and I do it every day, is play Spider Solitaire. And I don't have a cell phone.
 
Romantik fängt mit 80 an.
 
My four sons all knew I was a Jew, but they were allowed to be whatever they wanted to be. The only thing important to me was that they be good people who help other people, because all religion should try to make you a better person and a more caring person. Whenever religion does that for you, it's a good religion.
 
Ohne Humor kann man nicht leben. Man muss über sich selbst lachen können, sonst hat man es schwer.
 
God bless Dad, he came to every one of my shows. I was bad, and I had horrible stage fright. My dad was so relieved - he'd say, 'You were terrible; this kid is not going to be an actor.' Finally, I did a play and he said, 'Son - you were really good.'
 
Ein Film muss unterhalten, sonst funktioniert er nicht.

I didn't think I was so tough until I did 'Champion'; then I was a tough guy.

Die Leute reden immer über die alten Zeiten. Sie sagen, dass die Filme damals besser waren, und die Schauspieler so großartig. Ich denke anders: Alles, was ich über die alten Zeiten sagen kann ist, dass sie vorbei sind.

Why can't a woman be more like a dog, huh? So sweet, loving, attentive.

You know, you have to have some inner philosophy to deal with adversity.

What would my parents think about America if they arrived here today? Would they even want to come? I wonder.

Acting is a youthful profession.

All children are natural actors, and I'm still a kid. If you grow up completely, you can never be an actor.

I never had any desire to be a film actor. I never thought I was the good-looking movie type, which I assumed they wanted.

No matter how bad things are, they can always be worse. So what if my stroke left me with a speech impediment? Moses had one, and he did all right.

I didn't start out to be a movie star. I started out to be an actor.

I love talking to interesting people - people like O.J. Simpson, Andretti... I love champions. A champion has something special about him.

When I first came to Hollywood, the blacklist was just starting, and they were having hearings in Washington. What most people don't know is the judge of these hearings himself was later convicted of misappropriation. 'Spartacus' helped break the blacklist, because Spartacus was a real character.

Being second generation in Hollywood is complicated: Success is expected, and yet the track record of the second generation is not great. Only a small group of us, like Jane Fonda, have succeeded.

Happy Birthday Sammy Davis jr.!

Being a star has made it possible for me to get insulted in places where the average Negro could never hope to go and get insulted.

Ein Star ist ein Mensch, der überall zu Hause ist, nur nicht bei sich selbst.

Real success is not on the stage, but off the stage as a human being, and how you get along with your fellow men.

Verärgere niemals das Publikum, sonst ist es aus mit dir. 

When you lose a lover it's like getting a bad haircut. It grows back in time.
 

Die Autohersteller lernen nichts dazu. Die neuen Modelle haben noch immer denselben Scheibenwischer, hinter dem beim Parken die Strafzettel hängen.

Alcohol gives you infinite patience for stupidity.

Reality is never as bad as a nightmare, as the mental tortures we inflict on ourselves.

You always have two choices: your commitment versus your fear.

The success of the Rat Pack or the Clan was due to the camaraderie, the three guys who work together and kid each other.

There are certain romances that belong in certain cities, in a certain atmosphere, in a certain time.

I wasn't anything special as a father. But I loved them and they knew it.

Sober up, and you see and hear everything you'd been able to avoid hearing before.

The ultimate mystery is one's own self.

Everything Michael Jackson does on stage is exactly right.

If you want to get known as a singer you hire five sexy chicks and let them fight over you onstage and for the cameras. That's publicity, man.

I had more clothes than I had closets, more cars than garage space, but no money.

Bogart could have been color blind. He got to know a man before he decided if he liked him or not.

I bought a house in the Hollywood Hills and brought my grandmother from Harlem to live in it with me.

I go to temple a lot less than I would like because when I do, people still look at me as if they think it's a publicity stunt.

There's nothing that can match Broadway for stature and dignity.

You can be in this business 50 years and still not know anything about it.

Ten million dollars after I'd become a star I was deeply in debt.

Though I love the luxury of the Waldorf Towers, room service there doesn't do soul food.

To appear on the stage drunk, to have them leave there and remember me making drunken mistakes, that was death.

A man is not complete until he has seen the baby he has made.

I have to be a star like another man has to breathe.

What have I got? No looks, no money, no education. Just talent.

Happy Birthday Woody Allen!

I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.

My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.

The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have.

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon.

If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.

There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?

Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

To you I'm an atheist; to God, I'm the Loyal Opposition.

Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.

If my films make one more person miserable, I'll feel I have done my job.

It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more.

I failed to make the chess team because of my height.

You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.

What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.

Tradition is the illusion of permanance.

I'd call him a sadistic, hippophilic necrophile, but that would be beating a dead horse.

Most of the time I don't have much fun. The rest of the time I don't have any fun at all.

I am not afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens.

In my house I'm the boss, my wife is just the decision maker.

Seventy percent of success in life is showing up.

I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it's the government.

I had a terrible education. I attended a school for emotionally disturbed teachers.

Life is divided into the horrible and the miserable.

Happy Birthday Sarah Silverman!

I like my life alone. I mean, I love being with friends, and I love kissing and loving someone to pieces. But it's hard to find someone who doesn't ultimately start judging you and your choices.

Some people say my humor focuses too much on stereotypes. It doesn't. It focuses on facts.

I don't set out to offend or shock, but I also don't do anything to avoid it.

I have a ton of Holocaust stuff, and some of it is really hard core.

You want to make people laugh and by virtue of that please them, but when you're instructed to make people laugh and please them, you're too resentful to do it.

I mean, I love being with friends and I love kissing and loving someone to pieces. But it's hard to find someone who doesn't ultimately start judging you and your choices.

It shows the truth - that the real meaning of a word is only as powerful or harmless as the emotion behind it.

They've got great parents; I'm just trying to be the fun uncle.

Relations between black and white would be greatly improved if we were more accepting of our fears and our feelings and more vocal about it.

Men like to squash you. I just want someone who's happy with himself, happy with his life. He doesn't have to squash mine.

When I came out to L. A., I got a part in an episode of 'Star Trek: Voyager,' and I hired an acting coach.

If you are truly offended by an 80-year-old man saying you're not funny, then you're probably not funny.

Everyone self-Googles. And, I have, of course, the Google alert.

I looked up and saw the shape of a heart made by the silhouette of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon kissing.

I love making videos on my couch. You can put those on the Internet fast. I can express myself.

I think I've been called edgy - but in all honesty, there is a safety in what I do because I'm always the idiot. Unless you're just listening to buzz words and not taking into account the context of the situation, you see I'm always the ignoramus.

It fills me with a weird rage to wear shoes that make me not able to walk easily or run if I had to. It feeds into this whole 'war on women' thing in my head.

It fills me with a weird rage to wear shoes that make me not able to walk easily or run if I had to. It feeds into this whole 'war on women' thing in my head.

I can't believe how much time has passed. The first time I did stand-up I was 17, and I was really a stand-up once I was 19 in New York, and now I'm 41, and I still feel like I haven't found myself onstage.

I definitely think that prescription drugs, like antidepressants, are prescribed so cavalierly, anyone can get anything, but I need it. I do think that it needs to work hand and hand with therapy.

I tend to be more arrogant on stage. Far more ignorant. I sometimes say what I think and sometimes say the opposite of what I think and the lines get blurred, but I can only hope that some kind of absolute power transcends.

In terms of television and movies, I've been really interested in seeing the partnership of comedy and beauty and heart. I think they can go together really well and really thoughtfully. But, I'm a total one-hour drama addict. I think when you're a comedian, you tend towards dramas because that's the less stressful thing to watch.

I think maybe I became funny because as a kid, I was a Jew in a town of no Jews, and being funny just instinctively came about as a way to put people at ease around me.

Well, I'm not afraid to say something if I think it's funny, even if it's harsh or racist.

Smells definitely do have a crazy impact on me.

I like my life alone.
