It turns out that understanding the British public is not rocket science. The British appreciate honesty and they also have a bonkers off-the-wall sense of humour like me.

I didn't understand how you could be an actor if you didn't also study philosophy and study political science astronomy. And also just go out and live life and have experiences.

The main purpose of science is simplicity and as we understand more things everything is becoming simpler.

The ever quickening advances of science made possible by the success of the Human Genome Project will also soon let us see the essences of mental disease. Only after we understand them at the genetic level can we rationally seek out appropriate therapies for such illnesses as schizophrenia and bipolar disease.

What we must understand is that the industries processes and inventions created by modern science can be used either to subjugate or liberate. The choice is up to us.

Nobody understands another's sorrow and nobody another's joy.

Other times you can get showy for three minutes and that's OK with certain films. But that isn't right with an Ang Lee movie you have to fit right in. You have to understand Ang respect him and be part of the team and not be in charge of it - he is in charge of it.

Over the course of time this gave us a deep respect for ideas both our own and those of others and an understanding that conflict through debate is a powerful means of revealing truth.
