Hilarie Burton

There's something about a holiday that isn't all about how much money you spend.

Gardening gloves are for sissies. I always have dirt under my nails.

'One Tree Hill' was my very first television audition; it was a fairytale. I feel really lucky to have that level of success right out of the gate.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

In 1938, I was given a one-year teaching appointment, which was sensational for British universities. This was converted into the usual four-year contract for an Assistant Lecturer in 1939.
