You just have to go with a good story and a script that you like and people that you like to work with.

To me, it's the kiss of death when you start winking at the audience as an actor. I just never liked it. I don't like it when we do monologues, looking into the character.

Most of my career up until the last couple of years has basically been a training ground for me. Actors that came up in the '50s and '60s, they had the theater, and television was in its infancy.

I think what makes us human is our interconnectedness among people. It's our ability to form and maintain relationships. It's the barometer by which we call ourselves human.

When you say you don't think we should have public schools, they can't believe you mean that. You must mean that they should be smaller. But you can't really mean no public schools.

At no time, anywhere, was the population of a country told the truth: facts about events trickled into general consciousness much later, if ever.

When the idea comes, I often can't remember where it came from. I remember very little about writing the first series of Hitchhiker's. It's almost as if someone else wrote it.

I believe that the quintessential task of every painter in any time has been to concentrate on the essential.

All will be well, and every kind of thing will be well.

Small Data is not about testing concepts - it is more to create the foundation for innovative brand thinking.
