I don't watch a huge amount of telly. I read a lot. I'm reading at the moment 'Freedom,' by Jonathan Franzen, a great big brick of a book, and I'm loving it.

Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really merely commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the planning, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chain of events, working through generations and leading to the most outer results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusions most stale and unprofitable.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Either you think -- or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

We are ready to expand the friendly people-to-people exchanges and enhance exchanges and cooperation in science, technology, culture, education, and other areas.

Hu Jintao

I was speaking to Ridley Scott the other day and he makes a film every 18 months. He's amazing really.

Adrian Lyne

Possession is nine tenths of the law.

'Robopocalypse' explores the intertwined fates of regular people who face a future filled with murderous machines. It follows them as humanity foments the robot uprising, fails to recognize the coming storm, and then is rocked to the core by methodical, crippling attacks.

Daniel H. Wilson

Llegaste a mi vida y de repente tuve una verdad a la que aferrarme: que yo te amaba y tú me amabas.

Cassandra Clare

Some people forget to plant in the spring, idle away the summer hours and then expect to reap in the fall.

Source Unknown

I want my movies to be audience experiences. As much as I like Michael Haneke, I'm not going to make a Haneke film. That's just not in my DNA.

Jason Reitman

The sky calls to us. If we do not destroy ourselves, we will one day venture to the stars.

Carl Sagan

When things go wrong, you'll find they usually go on getting worse for some time; but when things once start going right they often go on getting better and better.

C.S. Lewis

Matter and energy seem granular in structure, and so does 'life', but not so mind.

Erwin Schrodinger
