I have a large standalone workshop on the back of my property where I prototype and build stuff. It's bright, roomy, and has a giant door so it's easy to bring projects in or out.

Leonardo Da Vinci. Leonardo is arguably the world's most famous polymath. So many thoughts and so many different ideas!

I'm a writer and I also do a lot of professional speaking on risk taking and creativity as well.

I work with a lot of different editors at different publishers and magazines and so on, and having a system of shared folders makes keeping track of things a snap.

I think it's important to associate with positive, upbeat people.

I'd love to get ideas on overcoming jet lag.

You get energy from other people, so hang out with energetic people.

Yeah, it's a weird little niche, but by God, it's my niche.

In my office, I like it quiet, so I can concentrate.

I started a funny book from the 1930s called The Code of the Woosters by P. G. Wodehouse. Wodehouse is a comic genius.

Every day, I walk with my dog - summer, winter (it gets -20 F in Saint Paul), rain or shine. The nicer the day, of course, the longer the walk.

I like physics. I think it is the best science out of all three of them, because generally it's more useful. You learn about speed and velocity and time, and that's all clever stuff.

To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.

If we do not roll up our sleeves to the task of the Gospel in our days, then we will amount to virtually nothing for God.

I learn the lines and pray to God.

I am much more of a geek than I am an athlete.

The public knows that human beings are fallible. Only people blinded by ideology fall into the trap of believing in their own infallibility.

My landscapes are not only beautiful or nostalgic, with a Romantic or classical suggestion of lost Paradises, but above all 'untruthful'.

If we are going to learn to trust God in adversity, we must believe God will allow nothing to subvert His glory so He will allow nothing to spoil the good He is working out in us and for us.

I left drama school and went straight into a 10-week film for which I was paid £75 I might say, which for 1962 was one heck of a lot of money.

The blood of our Christian brothers and sisters is a testimony which cries out to be heard by everyone who can still distinguish between good and evil.
