Michael JosephsonIt goes a long way back, some twenty years. All my life I had been looking for something, and everywhere I turned someone tried to tell me what it was.

But first I had to discover that I am an invisible man!

Then, once a project is done, I tend to forget about it until it comes out.

Ben StillerI donโt know why life isnโt constructed to be seamless and safe, why we make such glaring mistakes, things fall so short of our expectations, and our hearts get broken and out kids do scary things and our parents get old and donโt always remember to put pants on before they go out for a stroll.
