• Actors, who should pride themselves on their singularity, are forever trying to be someone else. It isn’t necessary for you, the actor, to like yourself— self-love isn’t easy to come by for most of us— but you must learn to trust who you are. There is no one else like you.

• I think it's very easy for people who are not deep in the technology itself to make generalizations, which may be a little dangerous. And we've certainly seen that recently with Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, all saying AI is just taking off and it's going to take over the world very quickly. And the thing that they share is none of them work in this technological field.

• God pity us indeed, for we are human, And do not always see, The vision when it comes, the shining change, Or, if we see it, do not follow it, Because it is too hard, too strange, too new, Too unbelievable, too difficult, Warring too much with common, easy ways, And now I know this, standing in this light, Who have been half alive these many years, Brooding on my own sorrow, my own pain, Saying "I am a barren bough. Expect, Nor fruit nor blossom from a barren bough."

  Stephen Vincent Benet

  Pain, Light, Years

• Viajando por Estados Unidos, es fácil ver por qué a menudo se piensa que los estadounidenses son estúpidos. En el zoo de San Diego, cerca del hábitat de los primates, hay una exposición con media docena de gorilas de tamaño natural hechos de bronce. Cerca hay un cartel que dice PRECAUCIÓN: LAS ESTTUAS DE GORILA PUEDEN ESTAR CALIENTES. Se mire por donde se mire, se dice lo obvio. EL CAÑÓN PUEDE HACER MUCHO RUIDO. LA ACERA MÓVIL ESTÁ A PUNTO DE ACABARSE. Para la gente que no va por ahí demandándose unos a otros, estas señales sugieren una falta de inteligencia paralizante.

• It's so easy to get into the same routine. A novel every two years; perhaps, improving technique. But I'm not interested in that. I'm interested in doing something fundamentally important--and therefore, it needs time. And what I've been doing, really, is avoiding this pressure to get into the habit of one novel a year. This is what is expected of novelists. And I have never been really too much concerned with doing what is expected of novelists, or writers, or artists. I want to do what I believe is important.

• There's a tremendous popular fallacy which holds that significant research can be carried out by trying things. Actually it is easy to show that in general no significant problem can be solved empirically, except for accidents so rare as to be statistically unimportant. One of my jests is to say that we work empirically -- we use bull's eye empiricism. We try everything, but we try the right thing first!

• Las canciones son bastante fáciles. Son pequeñas, modulares y del tamaño de un panecillo. Son fáciles de construir. Las películas son abrumadoras por su magnitud y alcance. En comparación, muchos directores de cine desearían escribir canciones porque pueden hacerlo mientras se cortan el pelo.

• When I'm on stage, I'm not me playing me. I'm somebody else doing me. I could never go on stage and be like, "Hey, I'm Mike Tyson. My mother and father was in the sex industry." That's the politically correct way to say it, but I would really say, "My mother and father were pimps and whores. This is my life." I could never do that as Mike Tyson. Because I'd feel sorry for myself. But if I could be objective about it and be somebody else, portraying Mike Tyson, saying this story, then it's easy sailing.

• It's easy to be a bad ass, it's easy to act like a bad ass, easy to act like a tough guy, it's easy to be a diva, and it's easy to be self absorbed. The list goes on and on but to me, I always just find it more important to be nice and kind.
