Drink and be thankful to the host! What seems insignificant when you have it is important when you need it.
Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes but they don't quit.
Success is full of promise till one gets it and then it seems like a nest from which the bird has flown.
Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
Death used to announce itself in the thick of life but now people drag on so long it sometimes seems that we are reaching the stage when we may have to announce ourselves to death. It is as though one needs a special strength to die and not a final weakness.
I like writing for children. It seems to me that most people underestimate their understanding and the strength of their feelings and in my books for them I try to put this right.
Seems like most of the kids today are into other sports other than tennis.
I love sports. Anytime I can combine sports with a film I'm a happy guy. It's such a natural fit because sports always seems to be a metaphor for life. Always always always.
People have called me Superman my whole life. In various sports that seems to be the common theme. My favorite superhero is actually the Incredible Hulk. He's the only superhero that can't die.
We're in a period where society seems very attracted to flash and that seeps into people's musical taste.
It seems to me that we're in danger of losing sight of certain basic civic values in society by allowing the growth of a whole generation of people who really have no sense of attachment to society.
I am certain no one sets out to be cruel but our treatment of the elderly ill seems to have no philosophy to it. As a society we should establish whether we have a policy of life at any cost.
To conclude that women are unfitted to the task of our historic society seems to me the equivalent of closing male eyes to female facts.
Nothing seems at first sight less important than the outward form of human actions yet there is nothing upon which men set more store: they grow used to everything except to living in a society which has not their own manners.
I'm as happy a man as any in the world for the whole world seems to smile upon me!

I do love science fiction but it's not really a genre unto itself it always seems to merge with another genre. With the few movies I've done I've ended up playing with genre in some way or another so any genre that's made to mix with others is like candy to me. It allows you to use big mythic situations to talk about ordinary things.
I really like science because it seems to be that place where you get the big picture everything connects.
Much of Indian science seems intuitive and not bound by the rigid thinking of classical scientists.
It seems true that the growth of science and secularism made organized Christianity feel under threat.
I would like to do a science fiction film some day. Star Wars seems really to have destroyed the genre which at one time offered great musical opportunities.
Further the dignity of the science itself seems to require that every possible means be explored for the solution of a problem so elegant and so celebrated.
Before a war military science seems a real science like astronomy but after a war it seems more like astrology.
Evolution seems to close the heart to some of the plainest spiritual truths while it opens the mind to the wildest guesses advanced in the name of science.
