I honestly believe that the next big leap in immersive technology will be very much like Brainstorm.

I visited a scientist who had a helmet with magnetic fields controlled by computer sequences that could profoundly affect your mood and your perceptions.

My particular aesthetic of light and color and design wouldn't change as a result of working with computer graphics rather than with slit scan or miniatures.

There's a consistency in my work that pops up independent of the limitations of the technology.

Clearly, if wed had the kind of computer graphics capability then that we have now, the Star Gate sequence would be much more complex than flat planes of light and color.

We're not that far from being able to plant images, memories, and emotional states directly into the brain.

When I worked on 2001 - which was my first feature film - I was deeply and permanently affected by the notion that a movie could be like a first-person experience.

The technology of the time dictated the way things looked.

But as far as the concept of HAL, who HAL was, his character - I had no role in creating him.

You will love and admire the One who is honest and blunt in his views, as long as you're not his subject of viewpoint!

This is joy's bonfire, then, where love's strong artsMake of so noble individual partsOne fire of four inflaming eyes, and of two loving hearts.

If you can't get a miracle, become one.

Go spend time with the aspen trees. They'll tell you how it works. They'll tell you to look to your roots for energy. They'll tell you there's warmth below the surface.

What's a joy to the one is a nightmare to the other.

If my mom reads that I'm grammatically incorrect I'll have hell to pay.

Statistics are there to be broken.

The art of putting into play mediocre qualities often begets more reputation than is achieved by true merit.

The secret to economic growth lay in the fact that that each generation attacked Nature not only with its own energies and resources, but with the heritage of equipment accumulated by its forebears.

Herein lies our problem. If we level that much land to grow rice and whatever, then no other animal could live there except for some insect pest species. Which is very unfortunate.
