My sister Maya and I were profoundly shaped by the influence of our mom, Ann Dunham. Giving Maya a preview of the Obama Presidential Center, including a new sculpture by Maya Lin dedicated to our mom’s memory, was truly special.

John Goodman on the cult status of "The Big Lebowski" (1998):
"Interviewer: Do you see any moral to the movie, or a central message?
Goodman: Yeah. Dude should never, ever leave his house. [Laughs] No, man, no. The Dude is a very special cat. And boy, who wouldn’t want to be down like that? It’s the life of a gentleman.
Interviewer: Do you recall the first time you had heard it was starting to become a big phenomenon?
Goodman: People had always come up to me and said they appreciated it, but I noticed more and more in the past few years that people were younger, and that kind of scared me because I was afraid it would suffer some kind of odd fate like being a cult film and then being forgotten again. I’m really glad that people appreciate it. I wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to it.
Interviewer: It seems to get funnier each time you see it.
Goodman: Yeah. I haven’t seen it for a while, I got a real hankering to go back. Next time I see it I want to go back and see it with other people, because it is funnier when you see other people laugh. I want to go to one of those conventions some time, I think that would be fun. I’ve still got my shorts, got Walter’s army jacket and his vest. What else did I keep? Bowling ball, I think."

P.S: Happy 74th birthday, John Goodman!
We are supposed to be celebrating our country’s independence from monarchy — instead, tomorrow, Trump will be behaving like a King, using YOUR taxpayer dollars to throw himself an expensive UFC birthday party. Let’s take back our government and make sure it works for the people!
