'I Am Number Four' is an action-packed adventure entwined with a romantic story. I play the role of John Smith. John wants to be a normal kid but he is from a different planet and he has been given this destiny of becoming a warrior.

I found it interesting that as people become more technically oriented all over the world at the same time people are becoming increasingly spiritual. The success of the Da Vinci code - even though it was a great yawn - also showed people's interest in religion.

Nevertheless there is another threat on the horizon. I see this threat in environmentalism which is becoming a new dominant ideology if not a religion. Its main weapon is raising the alarm and predicting the human life endangering climate change based on man-made global warming.

I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.

I see no way out of the problems that organized religion and tribalism create other than humans just becoming more honest and fully aware of themselves.

Sometimes negative news does come out but it is often exaggerated and manipulated to spread scandal. Journalists sometimes risk becoming ill from coprophilia and thus fomenting coprophagia: which is a sin that taints all men and women that is the tendency to focus on the negative rather than the positive aspects.

The positive heuristic of the programme saves the scientist from becoming confused by the ocean of anomalies.

I honestly believe that there's an element in this country in our politics that does not want to see a businessman succeed at getting the nomination for the Republican party and does not want me to succeed at becoming President of the United States of America.

Actually I feel music becoming more and more important. It's a big source of inspiration. With what's going on in the world we feel almost desperate. Music also brings you peace.

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it everything fades away: your worries your problems your thoughts. They fade into the smoke and the cigar and you are at peace.

Zoos are becoming facsimiles - or perhaps caricatures - of how animals once were in their natural habitat. If the right policies toward nature were pursued we would need no zoos at all.

The principle of the endless melody is the perpetual becoming of a music that never had any reason for starting any more than it has any reason for ending.

My music must reflect whatever's going on in my mind and my life needs to evolve for me to discover who it is I'm becoming.

Music's not like becoming a doctor who can walk into a community and find people who need him.

The movies and the parts I'm being offered are becoming better and better.

I think there's a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal. I know I've felt it.

As far as I'm concerned the entire reason for becoming a writer is not having to get up in the morning.

There are three reasons for becoming a writer: the first is that you need the money the second that you have something to say that you think the world should know the third is that you can't think what to do with the long winter evenings.

Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.

Becoming a mom made me more contentious about expressing my true taste.

There is nothing like becoming a mom to fill you with fear.

Before becoming a mom I never knew how good I had it to just spend time at a spa for a few hours. Now those days are far and between. So when I have an hour it's all about the mani and pedi.

It is unbecoming for young men to utter maxims.

I grew up in a Hindu household but went to a Roman Catholic school. I grew up with a mother who said 'I'll arrange a marriage for you at 18 ' but she also said that we could achieve anything we put our minds to an encourage us to dream of becoming prime minister or president.
