Grease (dir. Randal Kleiser, 1978)

Judd Nelson @ the premiere for When Harry Met Sally, 1989

“One day you wake up and you’re 45 years old. When I was young, I thought I’d be a CEO by now. I thought I’d put in 100 hours a week for as long as it took, and nothing would stop me. But then I had a family. And things changed. Expenses grew and I had less time to devote to my career. Recently I’ve been between jobs. I thought I’d have a nice retirement and education fund by now. I thought I’d have peace of mind. But now it’s starting to look like I’m going to have to work until I die at my desk.”

“I grew up very religious, and I was taught to think that people with alternative lifestyles were just ‘confused.’  But now it seems to me that gender and sexuality are so bendable and flexible.  I’ve been going to a lot of poetry readings lately, and people present themselves in such raw forms.  And they don’t seem confused at all.  They are being so honest and transparent in their poetry.  How are you supposed to object and say that ‘who they are’ is wrong?”
