Kubrick's vision seemed to be that humans are doomed whereas Clarke's is that humans are moving on to a better stage of evolution.

When you kill somebody in the movies it matters whereas in literature it can be allegorical.

As far as writing I like watching bad movies. Nothing stops me in my tracks more than watching a great film like 'The Godfather' or 'Dog Day Afternoon' or 'The Graduate.' You watch one of those and you never want to write again. Whereas with bad movies it makes you think If that counts I certainly could write.

Whereas I used to get depressed or neurotic or dwell on things I see my son's bright eyes and smile in the morning and suddenly I don't feel like I'm depressed anymore. There's nothing to be depressed about when you've got that.

Working with Chaplin was very amusing and strange. His films are so funny but working with him I found him to be a very serious man.

The secret of freedom lies in educating people whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.
