Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.
I am George Cockcroft. But when I come to England or Europe, where the name Luke Rhinehart is better known, then I use that name.

I get unhappy doing things that I'm not passionate about. Because I feel like I'm squandering this incredible gift I've been given to finance films.

There are a number of World War II historians I admire: Cornelius Ryan, Mark Stoler, Antony Beevor, to name a few. As for generals, there are those I admire as combat leaders and others I admire because they're great fun to write about.
Who knows what critics are thinking? I know that you make more of a name for yourself, make more of an interesting review, if you're kind of mean-spirited.
I play the unsinkable Molly Brown, which is where she got her name from, because she survived.
Lady Gaga is my name. If you know me, and you call me Stefani, you don't really know me at all.
