...This sort of thinking plays into all the movies I make. When I first saw Fast Times at Ridgemont High, I thought: That's what my life is like. That's my day-to-day. I didn't know anyone as funny as Spicoli, and we didn't grow up in California, and we had burnouts instead of surfers, but I could relate to working at a shitty job at the mall and poor Judge Reinhold having to dress up like a pirate to deliver food, and also Jennifer Jason Leigh getting an abortion, which was really...
...This whole movie is really about the small things - the tone's a little more muted than what we saw in Superbad. I had always thought my fantasy career would be making indie films, and doing my own thing. But then Superbad came along and it totally changed everything.

After the program proved too costly and ineffective, New York launched the Methadone Maintenance Program, which similarly caused little reduction in drug...
...Manseau's vivid recollections of each trip, combined with personal anecdotes and interesting tidbits (did you know that every Roman Catholic Church in the U.S. has a relic?), provide a fascinating look into an ancient and complex topic. He writes that when he saw the first sonogram of his daughter, his mind immediately wandered back to the relics he had seen and studied the world over. "Perhaps it was a renewed interest in all that is implied by the word miracle," he muses. "Or perhaps it was the experience of seeing the component parts of a human being...
