Randy Quaid: In 1997, I was in a gym, on a treadmill, and I was looking for something to read. I saw a copy of
The New Yorker, opened it up, and started reading this story. I was just so taken with it that I swiped the magazine, took it home, and finished the story. I think what impacted me the
most was the fact that we’re all alone in this world, and we all have that same
human need for love -- to find somebody that fulfills us.
