Kate MulgrewActing is one element in a film. Directing is sort of the painter using all of those elements - sound and music and camera and putting it all together. And that can be fun and exciting.

Olive Ann BurnsIf you can make it sound exciting with a joke drum machine, you know you've got something.
Jeff BeckOne of the things that's really exciting from my perspective is that Canada is one of the major spacefaring nations. The list of our achievements is profound and significant, and it's not just in robotics, it's also in the life-sciences research experiments that take place on board and other space-science experiments. I'd love to see Canada go from being a major spacefaring nation in low-Earth-orbit missions to those beyond, making sure we're part of those missions to Mars - not just from a technology perspective, but sending humans into beyond-Earth orbit.
Dafydd WilliamsTruthfully, in the beginning [of MacGyver] this could have gone either way, and as it turned out there was a version that was done wrong, which I'm not even going to get into.

I remember reading his pilot script and it was just so exciting that I started hopping around my room.

Olivia ThirlbyA multidisciplinary study group ... estimated that it would be 1980 before developments in artificial intelligence make it possible for machines alone to do much thinking or problem solving of military significance.

The 15 may be 10 or 500, but those years should be intellectually the most creative and exciting in the history of mankind.
