I think that we are already making steps toward mapping out the brain so we can identify the chemical patterns that create and store memory.

There can always be new beginnings... even for people like us.

I've always been a science fiction fan since I had understood the conception of what a story was.

Budget grows out of the story. If you're writing a story with people caught in an elevator for most of the film, you're pretty sure it won't be a $200 million movie.

You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.

They told us not to wish in the first place, not to aspire, not to try; to be quiet, to play nice, to shoot low and aspire not at all. They are always wrong. Follow your dreams. Make your wishes. Create the future. And above all, believe in yourself.

I sometimes find reality far more fantastical and unlikely than what I could just make up.
