The idea of a divine creator belittles the elegant reality of the universe.

Much as we might wish to believe otherwise, universal love and the welfare of the species as a whole are concepts which simply do not make evolutionary sense.

Do not indoctrinate your children. Teach them how to think for themselves, how to evaluate evidence, and how to disagree with you.

Faith is belief without evidence and reason; coincidentally that's also the definition of delusion.

Evolution is just a theory? Well, so is gravity and I don't see you jumping out of buildings.

Such delusions of grandeur to think that a God with a hundred billion galaxies on his mind would give a tuppenny damn who you sleep with, or indeed whether you believe in him.

The less you think, the more you believe.

How thoughtful of God to arrange matters so that, wherever you happen to be born, the local religion always turns out to be the true one.

The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

Science is the poetry of reality.

The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity.

...people with nothing to declare carry the most.

I wanted people who are though of for their acting and not their gymnastic abilities or their muscles.

They come into being not through demonstration but through revelation, through the medium of powerful personalities.

We only have one person to blame, and that's each other.

I love a good cliffhanger. I love when big events happen in shows. I love shows that aren't afraid to take risks and to really do what's best for the story line and realistic for the story line.

Every day it becomes clearer that this was the wrong war at the wrong time.

A kiss is a lovely trick to stop speech.

We're in a time now where technology is such that we can create anything, and that's what's new about television and film these days.

It suits me to be in a series that takes ages to film.

It turns out Superman is weak to Kryptonite and horses.
