As children we recognized that we belonged to an unusual, even exceptional, family, but the effect was different on each of us.

It's really wonderful that it's the whole franchise being recognized and it's a collective award. Each film has anywhere between 2,000 and 6,000 people working on it and so really the award is for each and every one of us. We are like a family.

They thought it was best to keep us together, but it was hard for a family to take three children. Kennedy Homes was one of the best things that could happen to me. I didn't feel like an outsider anymore.

It is true that I am often startled and even angered and repulsed by the strange directions and provocative content of new forms that seem to pop up every few months.

They either go with a family member or they go with us, but this building is not safe sitting on the seawall with a major hurricane coming. I have had several say, 'I don't want to go,' and I said, 'I'm sorry, you're going.

You’re not just different, you’re exceptional. And I think it’s time that I make you feel that way, too.
