You've got to eat while you dream. You've got to deliver on short-range commitments while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. Walking and chewing gum if you will. Getting it done in the short-range and delivering a long-range plan and executing on that.

It's funny because in drama school my greatest strength was my range. So my early career was like that: I played all kinds of different characters.

That strange feeling we had in the war. Have you found anything in your lives since to equal it in strength? A sort of splendid carelessness it was holding us together.

I started out in engineering. I was a geophysical engineer. Throughout the course of my life I've done a lot of strange jobs and the effect has been to make me think a little more skeptically about our capitalist society.

Historians and archaeologists will one day discover that the ads of our time are the richest and most faithful reflections that any society ever made of its entire range of activities.

Smile at a stranger. See what happens.

A smile is a facelift that's in everyone's price range!

It's very strange writing science fiction in a world that moves as fast as ours does.

It is critical to develop a biofuel industry powered by feedstocks produced in every corner of the country in addition to the Midwest. That is why USDA has established five regional research centers working on science necessary to ensure profitable biofuels can be produced from a diverse range of feedstocks.

The world is full of strange phenomena that cannot be explained by the laws of logic or science. Dennis Rodman is only one example.

The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.

We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.

Nolan has the strangest affect on people. You know I think there's something very sad and little boy about him but at the same time the way he goes about everything is so awkward and obnoxious. He can never say the right thing you know? And I think if he just didn't try so hard and calmed down people might actually like him a bit more!

My mother and father were very strange people. They tried to be funny which is always very sad to me.

You will soon find that I am a bit obsessive about my work. And that is a little sad one often feels strangely restricted not finding time to simmer although one actually has many interests.

Such an arrangement would provide Taiwan and China with a forum for dialogue whereby they may forge closer ties based on mutual understanding and respect leading to permanent peace in the Taiwan Strait.

In high school we studied a lot of poetical forms. I was really interested in the math that was involved and the strange live break ups. That gave me a great amount of respect for a rhymed stanza.

I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character.

Being a monarchist - saying that one small group is born more worthy of respect than another - is just as warped and strange as being a racist.

Yes I have made a lot of money and I have a lot of respect my films have done well and I know there are loads of loads of people who look up to me and really love me. I really just thought this is like a strange dream. I have never thought this is a success - I don't have a standard.

I didn't want to be a writer but I became one. And now I have many readers in many countries. I think that's a miracle. So I think I have to be humble regarding this ability. I'm proud of it and I enjoy it and it is strange to say it this way but I respect it.
