“When I was young, I was really, really obsessed with Gena Rowlands and John Cassavetes. Because my mom was a projectionist in college, she was somehow able to get a real projector. And she had some connections, so she would get real prints, and we'd put up a sheet. The first movies I saw were To Kill a Mockingbird [1962], Gigi [1958], A Woman Under the Influence [1974]. Then when I was old enough to be able to rent movies, I went through a very big Cassavetes phase.” FirstsRealEnoughBigsAbleYoungSawsInfluenceCollegeMomConnectionsMy MomObsessedPrintPhasesSheetsGet RealMockingbirdProjectorsKill A Mockingbird Author:Winona Ryder
“My mom told me I could have sheets, towels, and a few pillows, but I wanted leopard drapes, carpeting, and a comforter, too. I think maybe my obsession had something to do with my grandmother - she told me the best print to buy is leopard because it always stays in style.” ThinkingWantedStyleMomMy MomObsessionGrandmotherPrintSheetsMy GrandmotherPillowTowelsLeopardsComforterDrapes Author:Kim Kardashian
“I have two kids, and when my oldest was first born, it was the most vulnerable feeling in the world. I remember taking him to his first doctor's appointment, and on the sheet, it said "mother," and I put my mom's name. I was like, "Oh, right, I ... I'm the mother!" You just feel so vulnerable.” WorldFeelsFirstsSaidTwoFeelingsKidsRememberMotherNamesBornMomDoctorsMy MomVulnerableSheetsAppointments Author:Kathryn Hahn
“I was 12 or 13, and I had seen a demo about origami at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. My dad, my step-mom, and I were at the Japan pavilion of Epcot, and my dad was going to get me an origami book. They had these really sick origami books with an overleaf, but those packs can sometimes blow, because they give you, like, eight sheets.” GivingBookSometimesStepsMomDadGardenSickMy DadBlowEightJapanPacksSheetsBrooklynDemosOrigamiEpcot Author:Adam Richman
“I remember I used to go to The Laugh Factory and just goof off onstage, and then I'd see Dane Cook. He did a bit about his Mom making the bed in the summertime when he was a kid. He just said "Vroom!" and threw the sheet up in the air and the sheet would just stay over the bed for like a minute and a half. All he had were his arms out, but I could see the sheet. And he didn't do anything. He just kept it there. And I went, "I have to write more."” WritingSaidKidsRememberUsedBitsHalfLaughingAirMinutesArmsMomBedCooksFactoriesSheetsSummertimeUp In The AirGoofs Author:Jay Mohr
