When I did 'Battlestar Galactica' it was the first time I really understood science fiction. That was a very political drama, but set in spaceships so people didn't really take it seriously. But some really fascinating things were explored in that.
I'm not so interested in technology for technology's sake. I don't need incredibly sophisticated climate-control systems. And I'm absolutely amazed at the time people spend exchanging messages; I don't have a lot of time left over for those things.
I love teaching. If I made a trillion dollars, I would still teach. It's different every day. You get to meet intelligent people all the time - or at least most of the time.
I'm intrigued by films that have a singular vision behind them. A lot of studio movies have ten writers by the time they're done. You have a movie testing 200 times, making adjustments according to various people's opinions. It's difficult to have an...
Richard Vernon: You ought to spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress people.

...people change, even good people, if they get the wrong thing in their head. And not everything is always what it looks like and sometimes just because one person looks weak, they might be very strong, and another person might look like a spooky fr...
I never spent much time with people my own age.
Age affects how people experience time.
People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.
Self-deception fools all of the people all of the time.
People find life entirely too time-consuming.
Life is not a solo act. It's a huge collaboration, and we all need to assemble around us the people who care about us and support us in times of strife.
And that’s the thing with people. They think they have time.
All these people I interview are worth ten times what I'm worth.
Only married people understand you can be miserable and happy at the same time.
I tell people all the time that without the fans, I've got nothing.
