Born July 26th

Monday, July 26, 1993 - Taylor Momsen (TV actor: Jenny on Gossip Girl)

"I have so many female idols -- Debbie Harry I think is brilliant and Joan Jett and Cherie Currie did their thing. And I think Courtney Love worked it out in her time. But Debbie Harry, by far, is just brilliant."

Monday, July 26, 1965 - Jeremy Piven (TV actor: Ari on Entourage)

"In front of the camera, it's a very precise science. You have to hold in your energy and somehow make it appropriate, and you're shooting out of sequence, so you have to husband your energy throughout the day and explode at the right times. On stage you have the entire house. You're sitting and breathing the same air. You're being seen from head to toe and you get a running start on the piece. They're quite different beasts."

Sunday, July 26, 1964 - Sandra Bullock (movie actor: Miss Congeniality)

"Why suddenly interrupt the flow of the story to have everybody inspecting my naked body - and laughing?"

Monday, July 26, 1943 - Mick Jagger (rock singer: The Rolling Stones)

"I think I'm a pretty good father. I have a nice affinity with children, not just my own. I like taking bunches of kids out for the day. Kids keep you young and they keep you laughing."

Thursday, July 26, 1928 - Stanley Kubrick (movie director: 2001: A Space Odyssey)

"The whole idea of god is absurd. If anything, 2001 shows that what some people call 'god' is simply an acceptable term for their ignorance. What they don't understand, they call 'god'."

Saturday, July 26, 1856 - George Bernard Shaw (playwright: Pygmalion)

"The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time."
