In global warming, I think everyone is scratching their heads - are there technological things that can be brought to bear that can make a difference?

What should exist? To me, that's the most exciting question imaginable. What do we need that we don't have? How can we realize our potential?

You look at things you enjoy in your life, but much more important is what you can do to make the world a better place.

You've got to enjoy time with your family and friends, and if you're involved in sports franchises, those peak moments in playoff games. You have to enjoy life.

Technology is notorious for engrossing people so much that they don't always focus on balance and enjoy life at the same time.

Any crusade requires optimism and the ambition to aim high

Sometimes you have to live in precarious and temporary places. Unsuitable places. Wrong places. Sometimes the safe place won't help you.

Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as Camelot.

A conventional good read is usually a bad read, a relaxing bath in what we know already. A true good read is surely an act of innovative creation in which we, the readers, become conspirators.

I found it more pleasurable to write something, sing a melody over it. At a very young age, I kind of honed my writing skills, I guess.

Sometimes movie-making happens like clockwork; other times, like a car accident.

No one suggests that writing about science will turn the entire world into a model of judgment and creative thought. It will be enough if they spread the knowledge as widely as possible.

I look at what is happening with Ryan Giggs at Manchester United now and I am dismayed that Liverpool are letting that experience leave.

Southern people are bigger-hearted and kinder than I had any right to expect.

If you believe that a given situation should make you unhappy, then it will, and the unhappiness will then reinforce the condition.
