a weird combination of isolation and connection and disconnection; discomfort and awkwardness.
The essential truth is that sometimes you're worried that they'll find out it's a fluke, that you don't really have it. You've lost the muse or - the worst dread - you never had it at all. I went through all that madness early on.
It felt wonderful doing it. But that's rather like urinating in brown velvet pants. It can feel wonderful, but no one will watch.
But only in their dreams can men be truly free It was always thus and always thus will be.
My God. We've had cloning in the South for years. It's called cousins.
Look at us -- we're a San Francisco wedding cake.
They make these outrageous comedies and just use these kids as props. They're not beings who are transforming.
I had a lovely military flight, thank you. I love spiraling in -- nothing like that to make your colon go, "Fire in the hole!
I love running cross country....On a track, I feel like a hamster.

I'm going to go to Kennebunkport and see if they respond any quicker!
The moments of comedy are there. But the whole idea of a vacation is the stripping away of stuff and then, by the end of the vacation, (at least) in my life, you do have these moments as a group, as a family having a great time, so mellow again. It takes a while to do that but that's what this movie is about.
