But John Landis wrote a good relationship which is really what the film's about. A very straightforward young woman who's very sure of herself and she meets a young man who needs some taking care of.

I still like the relationship part of any story. You don't want your character to figure everything out and then at the end of the day go home and eat soup from a can by herself.

My mother killed herself when I was 12. I won't complete that relationship. But I can try to understand her.

I would not send a poor girl into the world ignorant of the snares that beset her path nor would I watch and guard her till deprived of self-respect and self-reliance she lost the power or the will to watch and guard herself .

I plead for conservation of human culture which is much more fragile than nature herself. We needn't destroy other cultures with the force of our own.

I pity the young woman who will attempt to insinuate herself between my mama's boy and me. I sympathize with the monumental nature of her task. It will take a crowbar two bulldozers and half a dozen Molotov cocktails to pry my Oedipus and me loose from one another.

There is no God Nature sufficeth unto herself in no wise hath she need of an author.

Nature is wont to hide herself.

Last time I spoke to my mom she called me from a pay phone and we didn't have the best talk. Ever since my stepdad passed away three years ago she has been very depressed and hasn't been herself at all.

My mom raised us three boys by herself on welfare. It's not worse than anybody else's life.
