My particular aesthetic of light and color and design wouldn't change as a result of working with computer graphics rather than with slit scan or miniatures.

I visited a scientist who had a helmet with magnetic fields controlled by computer sequences that could profoundly affect your mood and your perceptions.

There's a consistency in my work that pops up independent of the limitations of the technology.

Clearly, if wed had the kind of computer graphics capability then that we have now, the Star Gate sequence would be much more complex than flat planes of light and color.

We're not that far from being able to plant images, memories, and emotional states directly into the brain.

When I worked on 2001 - which was my first feature film - I was deeply and permanently affected by the notion that a movie could be like a first-person experience.

I honestly believe that the next big leap in immersive technology will be very much like Brainstorm.

The technology of the time dictated the way things looked.

But as far as the concept of HAL, who HAL was, his character - I had no role in creating him.

It is never too late to begin again. It is never too late to change and live again.

The ability to continue moving when you are feeling scared, fearful or lazy is the sign of true mental strength.

All the characters in my books are imagined, but all have a bit of who I am in them - much like the characters in your dreams are all formed by who you are

Truth is the recognition of reality; reason, man's only means of knowledge, is his only standard of truth.

To learn something new every day is still exciting!

We live, we die, we are remembered, we are forgotten.

The thing is, 75 percent of design today is absolutely outdated. It all has to be redesigned with the materials and knowledge that we now have. We know so much more than what we are doing.

Good entrepreneurs have a chip on their shoulders. They are out to prove something.

My philosophy is if you're happy being a born - again Christian, if you're happy be­ing a Roman Catholic, if you're happy being a Jew or Moslem ... great!! I'm happy being Ozzy.

I'd love to be abducted. I'd sit on my deck at home waiting all night long to be abducted. But that's never happened that I know of.
