Wednesday, July 27, 1977 - Jonathan Rhys Meyers (acting)

"I don't prepare because, for me, it has to be spontaneous, erratic. Because I'm a very erratic person. It has to be there and gone. If I rehearse something three times, I'm bored."

Wednesday, July 27, 1938 - Gary Gygax (inventor: Dungeons & Dragons)

"Well, I'm glad that most people have been able to separate the fantasy of the game from the reality of real life -- games have nothing to do with real life. There are no real dragons, there's no real magic, no real magic swords, and certainly no real treasure ... or I would have retired at home by now."

Thursday, July 27, 1922 - Norman Lear (TV producing, directing, writing: All in the Family)

"I'm somebody who gets restless. It seems to me that every 7 or 10 years in my life I want to stretch in another direction."

Thursday, July 27, 1905 - Leo Durocher (baseball player, manager)

"If I were playing third base and my mother were rounding third with the run that was going to beat us, I'd trip her. Oh, I'd pick her up and brush her off and say, 'Sorry, Mom,' but nobody beats me. "
