Jacques Rivette

I've always wanted to be a dad. I just can't wait to have a little rug rat running around. I used to want five or six kids, but maybe I've become too self-absorbed over the years. I think two would be perfect.

Josh Duhamel

Julie London

I did Lassie for six years and I never had anybody come up to me and say, 'It made me want to be a farmer.'

Lou Boudreau
