I've always been fascinated by twins. In my forty years of photographing, whenever there was an opportunity, I would take a picture of twins. I found the notion that two people could appear to look exactly alike very compelling.
Twins are under-represented in the media. Hamlet - never twins. Hamlet Twins Of Denmark. King And Queen Lear. It would work. Come on, more twins on television.
One of the things that fascinated people about the twins, and one of the first things that comes to people's minds when they see Siamese Twins is: well, how do you have sex?
When I found out I was having twins, I was even in denial that I was pregnant. When I found out I was having twins I just laughed. "Of course this would happen!" I started giggling.
I've always been fascinated with twins.
I think I would have liked to have been a twin... Sometimes my sisters and I get mistaken for twins, and I always take it as a compliment.
No two men are absolutely alike, not even twins, yet there is much that is indispensably common to all mankind.
No one has found a gene for IQ. "Heritability" means that identicial twins are more similar than fraternal twins, right? Fraternal twins more similar than non-siblings.

Anybody who objects to cloning on principle has to answer to all the identical twins in the world who might be insulted by the thought that there is something offensive about their very existence. Clones are simply identical twins.
I love the Twins, ... I bleed the Twins. That's all I know. If I go anywhere else, I'd be a foreigner.
In some domains it looks as though our identical twins reared apart are...just as similar as identical twins reared together. Now that's an amazing finding and I can assure you none of us would have expected that degree of similarity.
Back when I first came up with the Twins as a second baseman, Billy worked with me on my fielding, on playing the game, on being heads-up, hustling, always doing my best, not alibiing. And when he was the Twins' manager, I enjoyed playing for him.
I have been a vegetarian for forty-two years. I did it because I didn't want animals to die so I could eat. Then, eight to ten years ago, when I found out the life of a dairy cow is way worse than the life of a beef cow, I understood I had to switch to complete veganism. Otherwise, I would be very inconsistent in my beliefs that animals shouldn't be abused for food.
Identical twins are endemically alike in many ways.
True twins share womb chemistry and endure many fateful slings and arrows together. The fabled connection between twins is true in my case.
