I think people want to see a hero. It's interesting that with everything that goes on now from shootings to everything, as time goes on, I'm just starting to realize just how bad people want to see a regular hero.
Everyone assumes that novelists are smarter and more interesting. They're generally smarter and more interesting, but they're often very short. So it kind of cancels all the smart and interesting stuff out.
Of all things, I do like a Conspiracy! It's so interesting!
The Droid I had actually seemed to have free will, which I thought was interesting.
We're wired to expect the world to be brighter and more meaningful and more obviously interesting than it actually is. And when we realize that it isn't, we start looking around for the real world.
Critics? How do they happen? I know how it happened to me. I would send a poem or story to a magazine and they would say this doesn't suit our needs precisely but on the other hand you sound interesting. Would you be interested in doing a review?
You have to keep being curious. The notion that the present is different than the past, and the future will be different than the present, and the present is past, as we say it. I think I, by nature, am an optimist. Maybe I was driven to escape from my childhood and to be something, create my own world or career the way I wanted it to be. And I keep doing that in very interesting ways.
We were doing something called telemedicine, where we were using the ultrasound. One interesting application of this ultrasound is the possibility that you could possibly use it to measure critical bone areas during a long space mission and track if you're losing bone in these areas. On Earth, when they check you for bone loss, you get in this big machine. It's the size of a room and it's got a platform with an x-ray that scans your whole body and in critical areas and it takes a while and it just wouldn't be practical to have a machine like that in space.
This created world really helped me as an actor. It heightened everything, which made it more dangerous, more interesting and more liberating.
People always ask, 'Was it fun? Was it fun working on a movie?' I don't know if that's the operative word. It is challenging and interesting and all those other things, but fun isn't always.
It's interesting in this day and age to do a film about political espionage and wiretapping. I don't think that those types of secrets that J. Edgar Hoover was able to obtain and keep for such a long period of time would be possible in today's world, with the Internet and WikiLeaks.
Mr. Spock : 'I began to study human behavior from an alien perspective, thinking, humans are interesting, sad, foolish, but worthy of study.
Are things getting better with each generation? Yes. It's quite interesting to be living in these times, for me to witness an African-American being elected president. It's quite extraordinary.
It's interesting to be playing a father who's on the other side because that's not my world and not where I came from.
I'm just looking for interesting roles and giving acting the respect it deserves.
I haven't thought about making a music film, but if I did, that would be a very interesting idea.
If you're very clearly good or you're very clearly bad, then there isn't that much internal dilemma going on, and that's not necessarily as interesting to play.
History is more interesting than politics.
Everyone is complicated one way or another. But it's interesting to dig into a complicated character, to try to find that within yourself.
I really loved ["The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P" by Adelle Waldman]. It's having a really hot moment. Unlike many hot books, it's actually really wonderful. I tend to have that reaction: I don't want to read it if everyone thinks it's cool. It was a really interesting insight into being young and male. Now that made me feel really thankful for my boyfriend and really thankful because he wasn't like that protagonist, but I know so many people who are like that protagonist.
It’s interesting to see how other people react to an oversharer.
The work that's interesting to me in other people is really confessional.
I'm not really a partier, in general. I've definitely learned that that's probably the least interesting thing you can do with your time.
If you want to write in a mature and interesting way, you have to have sympathy for everyone that's involved.
Im Southern, so alligator tail is pretty interesting and yummy.
