By 2007, we were finally living in a culture where people get what networks are and what technology can do to connect people.
I'm of the opinion that the technology is in a place where there's really no excuse not to just make your movie.
In general in technology, if you own a platform that's valuable, you can monetize it.
Rarely do you walk down the street doing anything that my grandparent's generation did. And half of that comes with the technology advances.
All this technology for connection and what we really only know more about is how anonymous we are in the grand scheme of things.
Every young person gets so excited about new software packages and new technology.
The size of a studio film lets you see technology in a way that you wouldn't on an independent film, like the gadgets and the angles and all that.
Singles have a purpose that is higher than any earthly relationship. Marriage is honorable, but so is being single.
I loved being in Close Encounters, just to watch Steven Spielberg working was exciting.
I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.
The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.
Honesty is a very expensive gift, Don't expect it from cheap people.
The cool thing for me is, I go to a lot of conventions - a lot of science fiction conventions like Comic-Con - and there are always a lot of attendants of color. And I think some people believe that black people or people of color are not into scienc...
I loved math and science. It just made sense to me. But my hatred for world history has come to bite me in the butt in my adult years. Every show I have done professionally has required me to study the world in which my characters lived.
Before I was reading science fiction, I read Hemingway. Farewell to Arms was my first adult novel that said not everything ends well. It was one of those times where reading has meant a great deal to me, in terms of my development - an insight came f...
It's interesting - I think superheroes get much more unfair derision. There are so many good superhero books being done. Science fiction is almost more reputable, I guess, at least a step up from poor superheroes.
I'm reluctant to get involved in science fiction, because I feel like I've done it and done it well, so unless something comes along that I feel has the potential to do something even more interesting, it seems a shame to sort of re-live something in...
One of the problems with science fiction, which is probably one of the reasons why I haven't done one for many, many years, is the fact that everything is used up. Every type of spacesuit is used up, every type of spacecraft is vaguely familiar, the ...
I read five books on the Constitution. My favorite was 'Plain, Honest Men' by Richard Beeman. I went on a science jag in the same way. I kept getting in arguments about evolution and being bested. So I read Charles Darwin's 'On the Origin of the Spec...
If you go on stage with the wrong attitude, or something in your performance is off, you can lose an audience in the first minute. That first minute is crucial.
I went to the Performing Arts School and studied classical ballet. That attitude is something that's put into your head. You are never thin enough.
