The history of the world shows that peoples and societies do not have to pass through a fixed series of stages in the course of development.
The history of science has been one long series of violent brainstorms, as successive generations have come to terms with increasing levels of queerness in the universe.
I had dreams of catching the ball for the final out in the World Series and being mobbed by my teammates. Well, I guess all my dreams didn't come true.
Like many of you, I've always been slightly obsessed with vampires, dating back to the prime-time series 'Dark Shadows,' which I followed avidly as a kid.
I was thrilled with how the first series of 'Sherlock' was received. It was such great fun to film, which makes it so rewarding when something you enjoy is so well received.
What interested me in doing 'Dragonball' was that it's a huge comic book series that has built a great fan base, and it's a great action movie!
Inevitably any series that goes on too long will reach a point where it starts struggling for ideas, so I've always been really aware of getting out while the going's good.

The power of telly is surprising. If you're in a six-part series, you're famous while it's on - people point in the street. Two weeks later it all goes back to normal.
There are particular images that I like. Allegro is composed of a series of still life photographs that has been put to speed. There is so much care that has gone into the composition of the cinematography.
I don't regret doing 'The Living Daylights'. If I hadn't done Bond, I wouldn't have been in America doing my series, and I would have had a different life.

Human beings who leave behind them no great achievements, but only a series of small kindnesses, have not had wasted lives
From the beginning, the series has been story driven - I began with a story idea - but research feeds it.
The ad revenues still go up because nothing dependably delivers the eyeballs that successful series do.
I've written some standalone novels, but a book series allows fans in. There's much more intense involvement.
I normally keep a series of draft in a catalogue type of book in which I scribble, sketch and draw ideas.
Jeff Kinney's 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' series and Stephenie Meyer's 'Twilight' books got 49,323,701 kids reading.
I feel sometimes like a book tour is a slow series of humiliations and that if you're strong you'll come out of it OK.
