You know men and women are a lot alike in certain situations. Like when they're both on fire - they're exactly alike.

A psychologist once told me that for a boy being in the middle of a conflict between two women is the worst possible situation. There's always a desire to please each one.

Wisdom is the quality that keeps you from getting into situations where you need it.

So instead of talking about theoretical ways of ending the war and violence I say that we have to get rid of the individual asholes in each office and situation.

The reason that war is such a fascinating subject for writers is because it's a revealer. Put a bunch of people in an adrenaline-fuelled life-or-death situation and their fundamental behaviours are exposed the scrim is taken away and the motivations behind each personality come out to play.

The most disastrous phenomenon of the current situation is the factor that imperialism is employing for its own ends all the powers of the proletariat all of its institutions and weapons which its fighting vanguard has created for its war of liberation.

Bad things do happen in the world like war natural disasters disease. But out of those situations always arise stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

In the re-creation of combat situations and this is coming from a director who's never been in one being mindful of what these veterans have actually gone through you find that the biggest concern is that you don't look at war as a geopolitical endeavor.

There are historic situations in which refusal to defend the inheritance of a civilization however imperfect against tyranny and aggression may result in consequences even worse than war.

One must always try to see the truth of a situation - it makes things universal.

The word theatre comes from the Greeks. It means the seeing place. It is the place people come to see the truth about life and the social situation.

Firemen can do almost everything. You already trust them in life-threatening situations why not let them help you with your everyday problems too?

Trust me my runners aren't going to run one event while looking past it to the second event. When they get on the line for the 10K that's a do-or-die situation for them.

The best situation is where they cast you and then they trust you.

I intend to travel to Okinawa and to visit with Okinawa officials and the citizens of Okinawa at an early date. I will send my best analysis of that situation including the local attitudes back to Washington to the government there.

It's a unique situation as well because England is a small country so it makes it easy for the fans to travel. If we play down in London they get buses and we'll get three or four thousand fans come down. They'll all sit in the same area and show their support for the team.

If you travel around America you see different sections of highways donated by this or that person and that's a slow beginning of what may end up being a situation common in the Third World: some sections of highways in wealthy areas are beautifully maintained and other parts are just dirt-strewn potholes.

Unlike some of the time-travel movies I love like 'Primer' or '12 Monkeys ' 'Looper' is not about time travel. It's about this situation that time travel creates and the people dealing with that situation. So narratively the big challenge was to have time travel get out of the way.

The intellectual property situation is bad and getting worse. To be a programmer it requires that you understand as much law as you do technology.

As information technology restructures the work situation it abstracts thought from action.

So many times these kids know more about the technology than their parents. And so many times we're putting kids in very adult situations and expecting them to behave like they're 40 years old. Well that's just not going to happen.
