Humanity needs dreams to be able to survive the miseries of daily existence even if only for an instant.

Before I pitch any game from spring training to Game 7 of the World Series I'm scared to death.

Like many of you I've always been slightly obsessed with vampires dating back to the prime-time series 'Dark Shadows ' which I followed avidly as a kid.

For electronica music David Linton has been doing this series called Unity Gain which is pretty cool.

I'm more into the Spawn toys. They're really cool. They're coming out with a Techno Spawn series and another series The Dark Ages which are really cool.

To me there is something superbly symbolic in the fact that an astronaut sent up as assistant to a series of computers found that he worked more accurately and more intelligently than they. Inside the capsule man is still in charge.

I wrote seven Myron Bolitar novels in a row and I never want to write a Myron book where he just solves a crime. Every one of them I want to be personal and I want him to grow and change. The problem with that is it makes the series limited you can't write a series where a guy is always going through some kind of crisis.

Isn't life a series of images that change as they repeat themselves?

Fact: The new '90210' is cooler than the old '90210.' It's the lithe streamlined Skipper to the elder series' venerable Barbie. Gone are the traditional parents - they've been replaced by a hipster mom n' pop who get busted necking in the car.

Life... is not simply a series of exciting new ventures. The future is not always a whole new ball game. There tends to be unfinished business. One trails all sorts of things around with one things that simply won't be got rid of.

Perhaps the most effective way to describe the approach a brand must take is to think of themselves as social cartographers. By that I mean that brands must simultaneously inspire engage and maintain a series of conversations taking place within certain cultural landscape specific to their business goal.

I will never do another TV series. It couldn't top I Love Lucy and I'd be foolish to try. In this business you have to know when to get off.

A series of rumors about my attitude as well as derogatory remarks about myself and my family showed me that the personal resentment of the Detroit general manager toward me would make it impossible for me to continue playing hockey in Detroit.

In the first book of my Discworld series published more than 26 years ago I introduced Death as a character there was nothing particularly new about this - death has featured in art and literature since medieval times and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper.

You go through at least the first two years of Star Trek and you find some amazing stuff. Everything that was going on Gene put into the series. He just put strange costumes on the actors and painted them funny colours and left the same situation in.

There were two things going on: 1) I had already established in my own mind where I wanted to go with the next series and having James around as a Grey Eminence would have complicated matters. He had had an amazing life and it was time to bid him good-bye.

Listen a cable series is a beautiful thing because there's such amazing writing happening on television and it's a schedule that allows you to do a play or two. There's a reason everybody wants that job!

I tend to not watch things that are current. And then if everybody swears it's amazing then I'll like watch the whole series in a weekend.

For me the Anita series is built like a mystery series which means that as much as possible each book stands alone so you have a mystery to solve from the beginning to the end of the book.

With 'Twilight ' you have these massive tomes that you have to condense. With 'Penoza ' we had an eight episode Dutch series that just for the pilot alone I condensed three episodes. So there's a lot of filling in and a ton of invention that has to happen to fill out eight episodes.

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.

It is with an old love as it is with old age a man lives to all the miseries but is dead to all the pleasures.
