"I never wanted to be a star. I didn't like entering a
room with all eyes on me. I still don't like the
attention of a birthday party. I prefer Christmas,
which is everybody's holiday."

This really struck a chord with me because as a kid I
would leave my own birthday party to be alone. My mom
would go all out and plan this big do and then she'd
find me two hours into the party up in my room drawing
dinosaurs in my sketchbook, or reading Batman comics
in the closet, wishing it would all end. 

I hated being the center of attention and suffering
from that "all eyes on you" syndrom. My birthday is
two days after Christmas so by the 27th I'm usually
ready to pack up my gifts and hibernate for a while.
