Science fiction is an amazing literature: plot elements that you would think would be completely worn out by now keep changing into surprising new forms.

If you don't know where you are going. How can you expect to get there?

The precise point at which a tax deduction becomes a 'loophole' or a tax incentive becomes a 'subsidy for special interests' is one of the great mysteries of politics.

I love getting my nails done. My mom's best friend is a manicurist. When I was little, she'd do little paintings on my nails, like flowers.

Miranda Cosgrove

I'm playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

Eric Morecambe

Even the company of the mad was better than the company of the dead.

Stephen King

Life is difficult.

M Scott Peck

It is always brave to say what everyone thinks.

Georges Duhamel

The thing is, when I had my first success it did coincide with the end of my first marriage, and because I went on to have a very, very unhappy two years, I don't think I equate career success with personal happiness.

Rob Brydon

We may place blame, give reasons, and even have excuses; but in the end, it is an act of cowardice to not follow your dreams.

Steve Maraboli

I think Douglas was a real one-off. He was so clever and so intelligent and so well read in real science that he could make science fiction work as well as it did. And just such fun to have around, he was just such a lovely man.

Lalla Ward

A friend of my mom's was a casting director so, really as kind of a lark, I had a couple of acting jobs that had just enough exposure to give me the option to continue if I wanted to. I followed through with it.

Ben Affleck

In a daydream sort of way, I think it would be pretty cool to direct a movie. But I have been on movie and TV sets and know it is hard work. I like directing it in my mind. It is easier.
