MR JAMES PATRICK PAGE, musician - born 9th January 1944

"Let me explain something about guitar playing.  Everyone's got their own character, and that's the thing that's amazed me about guitar playing since the day i first picked it up.  Everyone's approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it's all valid."

WILLIAM SANDERSON, actor - born 10th January 1948

"The best came from my martial arts teacher, who also taught Elvis.  He said, "Your ego will get you killed." 

WALTER HILL, writer/director - born 10th January 1942

"Somebody once said, you have to wait 20 years before you can tell if a movie's any good or not so that's probably true."

WILLIAM JAMES, philosopher & psychologist - born 11th January 1842
