I liked math - that was my favorite subject - and I was very interested in astronomy and in physical science.
After all science is essentially international and it is only through lack of the historical sense that national qualities have been attributed to it.
It cannot be said often enough that science fiction as a genre is incredibly educational - and I'm speaking the written science fiction not 'Star Trek.' Science fiction writers tend to fill their books if they're clever with little bits of interesting stuff and real stuff.
In science we must be interested in things not in persons.
The method of political science is the interpretation of life its instrument is insight a nice understanding of subtle unformulated conditions.
I just did an interview where I was asked whether I drink beer or whisky and I was sad to reveal that I'm pounding spring water.
Film-makers are always going to be interested in making movies that plug into society around them. That's what a vibrant artistically alert community should be doing. After all it would be sad if we only made films about alien robots.
What if the Soviet intervention was a blessing in disguise? It saved the myth that if the Soviets were not to intervene there would have been some flowering authentic democratic socialism and so on. I'm a little bit more of a pessimist there. I think that the Soviets - it's a very sad lesson - by their intervention saved the myth.
I look at my people and I look at those who control them - the political elite. And the sad thing is that the elites are just not interested in the welfare of the people.
I've never met a woman who thinks they've got a good enough figure - however perfect they look - which is sad because no one else can see these perceived flaws they're entirely internal.
It's very rare that things are true about yourself that are on the Internet. It's just sad sometimes. So you definitely try and stay away from it as much as possible.
You will soon find that I am a bit obsessive about my work. And that is a little sad one often feels strangely restricted not finding time to simmer although one actually has many interests.
I find America falling in love with a TV show flattering and interesting but at the same time a little sad.
Make the most of your regrets never smother your sorrow but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh.
I'm getting a lot of uninteresting romantic lead guys that look good and fall in love sort of garbage.
I had no romantic interest in Gable. I considered him an older man.
The only thing I would unequivocally say is that I have never had any interest in romantic comedy I just couldn't do it. I think I'd be terrible.
I feel close to Lloyd in 'Say Anything'. He was like a super-interesting version of me. Only I'm not as good as him. Whatever part of me is romantic and optimistic I reached into that to play Lloyd.
I have never acted he has never been cast in a romantic lead or has been cast opposite a female love interest in any movie he starred in.
The telephone which interrupts the most serious conversations and cuts short the most weighty observations has a romance of its own.
I think the crux of the matter was that if we were going to become partners in for example the International Space Station we had to gain the respect of a country like the United States and particularly its space organization NASA.
I call on the international community to be fair to the Iraqi people. My position is that we respect international resolutions but in return demand justice and accountability for those who stole Iraq's money.
I do support enhanced interrogation techniques. Obviously their value is shining through with respect to the bin Laden killing.
I am very proud to come back to speak on the disinterested effort we have made and I believe that with all due respect that the decisions we made when we turned our final report over to President Johnson will stand in history.
As we develop and get quicker with technology in America it's like we're downgrading if you look at the investment in education... that's the thing that worries me.
