I like watching film, I go to the cinema, but a lot of times I go to see kids' films.

I don't know if anyone will ever sit beside me on a plane again.

My only two constants are to challenge myself and to try not to repeat myself.

I like being at home with my music and my books. I’ve done all the partying, I’ve done enough partying for four or five people as a young fella. But now I like the quiet life.

I personally think if something's not a challenge there's no point doing it because you're not gonna learn much.

I'm terrible. I'm the wrong person to talk to, I really don't know a thing.

I will always love film, the romance of film, sitting in the darkened room with strangers and watching a story for two hours - that will always remain and never be eroded by television.

I was obsessed with Batman as a kid. I did the film in part just to be near the Batmobile. But I also think [director] Christopher Nolan made a very fine, intelligent film.

You know, I'm a skinny Irish guy.

I don't have a burning passion to live in America per se but I would certainly like to work there.

If you behave like a celebrity, then people will treat you like a celebrity, and if you don't, they won't. There's not much to write about me in the tabloids.

Strength is seeing yourself as you are.

If we had directions, it wouldn't be life. It would be an assignment. Grunt work.

You can be a leader, a follower or out of business.

High-quality education provided by MOOCs can be a significant factor in opening doors to opportunity—even among the college-educated.

As a youngster and being a Latina, you see so much injustice.

You're the only girl I've seen for a long time that actually did look like something blooming.

Basically speaking, conducting is quite a healthy profession.

You can't do anything with anybody's body to make it dirty to me. Six people, eight people, one person - you can do only one thing to make it dirty: kill it. Hiroshima was dirty.

I remember the first sale I made was a hundred and fifty dollars for a radio script, and, as poor as I was, I didn't cash the check for three months. I kept showing it to people.
