We must depend upon the Boy Scout Movement to produce the MEN of the future.
It's funny because '1600 Penn' was the first time I really started to read the reviews because I am an executive producer and I wanted to see what people were enjoying and not enjoying as a means to an end right?
The reason why you know more funny dudes than funny chicks is that dudes are funnier than chicks. If my daughter has a mediocre sense of humor I'm just gonna tell her 'Be a staff writer for a sitcom.

If the chemistry is right between star and photographer and the geometry of the pictures pleases the star often the two people end up with a long-term professional friendship during which they continue to work together and to produce highly personal images.
Havin' fun while freedom fightin' must be one of those lunatic Texas traits we get from the water - which is known to have lithium in it - because it goes all the way back to Sam Houston surely the most lovable the most human and the funniest of all the great men this country has ever produced.

So keep fightin' for freedom and justice beloveds but don't you forget to have fun doin' it. Lord let your laughter ring forth. Be outrageous ridicule the fraidy-cats rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce.
No one who has lived even for a fleeting moment for something other than life in its conventional sense and has experienced the exaltation that this feeling produces can then renounce his new freedom so easily.
