With both Caddyshack and Vacation, it’s not like the subjects were serious enough that they engaged my interest for another round. I love the characters, and the actors were great, but I didn’t see the need to make another Vacation movie.
I was at CBS News on a fluke. I replaced somebody who was on vacation. I worked as a copy boy, then became a news writer.
For city dwellers like me who don’t get to vacation in the summer, no filmmaker can so effectively make you feel like you went to France for August, fell in love, got hurt, broke up, grew up, and figured some things out – all in 90 minutes or so. My favorite of Rohmer’s cinematic escapes is ‘La Collectionneuse.’
I like when videos used to make you sit at home, and you’d watch it and be like in awe like, ‘I wish I was at that place, man. I wanna go on a vacation.’
On vacation, I totally unplug. I don’t bring a laptop with me.
Architecture has always been a very idealistic profession. It’s about making the world a better place, and it works over the generations because people go on vacation and they look for it.
My best vacation is somewhere I could hide, somewhere warm and not a lot of people around.
All my childhood memories are from Lucknow. My entire maternal side lives here, so every vacation, we used to come here by Shatabdi and spend days here visiting monuments, savouring delicacies, and being with family. For me, it’s like second home.
I think that this industry in particular is so fast-paced that you keep saying, ‘I’ll take vacation later.’ Sometimes later never comes. I’m definitely leading a much slower life now that I’m not working every single day on a television series.
I don’t vacation on the water. I’m a pale-skinned redhead; I get sunburned out there. I’m a little frightened of the ocean, in fact. But I just know there’s great drama out there.
I’m pleased to have outsold great writers. But I’m not insane – I realize I am a writer people buy to take on vacation.
For me, the two weeks between Christmas and Twelfth Night have come to be reserved for desultory reading. The pressure of the holiday is over, the weather outside is frightful, there are lots of leftovers to munch on, vacation hours are being used up.
It is not more vacation we need – it is more vocation.
I had been on a vacation to Sharjah a couple of years ago and it was absolutely amazing. We stayed at this beautiful resort that itself was a place to behold as it was replete with water sports and other amenities.
Since traveling is such a big part of my life when I am working, I like to vacation relatively close to home. Florida is a great place for me to go and relax. It’s so close, which is perfect because it’s the minimal travel time.
I used to work out on an island called Martha’s Vineyard. I ran a pizza oven, I caddied, I worked on a fishing boat, and life is very easy out there. It’s a vacation lifestyle all the time.
My family never went to a restaurant together; we never went to the movies together. Vacation, we never did that.
In the wake of 9/11, my wife Trish and I were stranded on the East Coast. We had planned a vacation to Greece, but flights had been halted. Instead, we ended up on a tiny island off the coast of Georgia.
I’m the type of person who far prefers a vacation filled with trips to museums and art galleries, shopping and exploring vintage flea markets, people-watching at cafes, and discovering delicious restaurants as opposed to lounging on a beach for days on end.
I work to go on vacation. Hopefully, the more money I make, my vacations will get a little longer to the point where they last a year.
Food-wise, oh man, I tend to really indulge on vacation because a lot of my friends are incredible chefs. One friend makes an eggplant parmesan that is heavenly and melts in your mouth, and another makes a chocolate pudding that I can’t resist.
It would be a great vacation to act in a movie if I weren’t directing it. But to do it while you’re directing interferes with your concentration, and I wouldn’t do that again.
Comparing ‘Christmas Vacation’ to ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ is the silliest thing. That film starred the greatest movie actor of all time, and the idea that our movie could ever be connected in some fashion to something so brilliant and beautiful always made feel like, ‘That’s all they had to write about?’
I grew up in southwestern Virginia. I was born in South Carolina, but only because my parents had a vacation cabin or something there on the beach. I was like a summer baby. But I did grow up in the South. I grew up in serious, serious Appalachia, in a very small town.
I went on vacation with my nephews to St. Thomas and we had a ball.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a vacation, to be quite honest with you.
For me, making films is like being on vacation, it’s a nice walk. But theatre is like mountaineering. You never know whether you’re going to fall off or make it to the top.
A vacation from school should not mean hunger for our children.
As you grow older, you learn a few things. One of them is to actually take the time you’ve allotted for vacation.
Books have literally powered most of my life. Whether as a stress relief when doing hard things or as vacation fodder, they are a constant and important part of my life.
The number of vacations me and my husband have canceled… if you really want a job, book a non-refundable vacation. But obviously we’re blessed too.
My teachers encouraged me to audition for some professional work during our summer vacation. I landed my first job. It was for the National Theatre Company’s Mimika Pantomime troupe. I ended up touring with them for the next two years.
And if I lost I would have gone back to 12 weeks of vacation, because I was successful enough that I was spending much more time on non-profit boards and traveling a lot.
I’m a workaholic, but I also like to vacation.
I love to eat. I’m a foodie, and when I’m on vacation, I want to be a foodie with their culture, with their foods.
We grew up in a middle-class family in Chicago. Even when we went on vacation as a family, it wasn’t a really fun time, because my father didn’t want to spend any money when we got there.
The second book was probably the result of the relationship I was in at the time. We were only going to be compatible for a minute, and I think we both knew it. It’s like how you can be a different person on vacation, but you know all along you’re just visiting that mindset.
There are things I’m never late for. I’m not late for the theater; I’m not late for the movies; I’m not late if my single girlfriend is at a bar somewhere. But if I’m on vacation in Mexico with a bunch of cackling hens, then I’m going to be late for dinner – count on it.
Instagram is an app, it is not a realistic representation of anyone’s life – do not base your idea of what your body, hair, face, vacation, relationship or meal should be like according to what you see on it.
My whole life is a vacation.
I like to vegetate when on vacation given my busy schedule when I’m at work.
I don’t go on vacation. I don’t really need vacation.
Well, traditionally, how I grew up, I grew up in the Baptist Church, always going to church every Sunday, Sunday school, vacation Bible school.
For me, making a record is a vacation. I’d like to do it more often. Just, chances are impossible… It’s a very expensive hobby, you know?
My older brother’s really good at making fun of me for just being a workaholic and never taking time for myself. Even when we go on vacation, I’m always working.
I love the BBC. I love working with the BBC. They leave you alone; they give you zero notes. It’s like being on vacation.
If you don’t want to live a life where you go to a job every day just so you can enjoy your weekends and get two weeks of vacation every year, then don’t do it.
I go to Japan every November on vacation, and the one thing I never return home without is yuba, which is the thin skin that forms atop boiling soy milk. You skim it off and either eat it fresh or dry it.
The breaks you take from work pay you back manifold when you return because you come back with a fresher mind and newer thinking. Some of your best ideas come when you’re on vacation.
Books were a huge part of my childhood growing up. We would go on vacation, and my mom was always carting manuscripts around.
I think actually what I’m going to do when I’m done and take my next vacation, is I’m going to go over and start unions in Japan. I’m going to unionize Japan. Because the way they work those crews is so criminal. There’s no overtime, so they can just keep going.
With me a change of trouble is as good as a vacation.
If I exercise once or twice a day on vacation and don’t want to wash my hair too often. I pack a lot of dry shampoo, like Amika’s.
I grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas, and before the Internet and before everything, just to get anything interesting, you had to go on vacation to San Francisco or something. But I think when you’re in the middle of America, you feel very jealous of not just comedy but music that you don’t have access to.
You have to steal time to be with family. You will always be busy, so just prioritise. I plan outings with my wife Gauri, whether it’s a quiet dinner or a brief vacation.
