Every night I fell asleep to a different Beatles album. So I'm very familiar with the Beatles Ringo was my favorite Beatle until I grew up and then changed. I made the switch over to George Harrison just in time to regain my cool.

I've never been much of a computer guy at least in terms of playing with computers. Actually until I was about 11 I didn't use a computer for preparing for games at all. I was playing a bit online was using the chess club mainly. Now obviously the computer is an important tool for me preparing for my games.

As a rule software systems do not work well until they have been used and have failed repeatedly in real applications.

I got up with my wife I sat down at the computer when she went to work and I didn't stop until she got home.

It has to be able to play at the maximum expression and communication in every style and the only way you can do that is - like Verdi said - working with a file every day little by little until the orchestra's collective qualities emerge.

We shall never be able to remove suspicion and fear as potential causes of war until communication is permitted to flow free and open across international boundaries.

I don't think anything changes until ideas change. The usual American viewpoint is to believe that something is wrong with the person.

One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat it won't jump out. Instead it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.

People feel that the EU is a one-way process a great machine that sucks up decision-making from national parliaments to the European level until everything is decided by the EU. That needs to change.

We can't change anything until we get some fresh ideas until we begin to see things differently.

I used to be a Catholic. I left because I object to conversion by concussion. If you don't agree with what they teach you get clobbered over the head until you do. All that does is change the shape of the head.

As man sows so shall he reap. In works of fiction such men are sometimes converted. More often in real life they do not change their natures until they are converted into dust.

You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.

Until we totally change the way we elect our leaders until we remove private money from public campaigns lying will be the de facto method of governance in this country.

The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice there is little we can do to change until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.

We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate it oppresses.

I will stay in the car until the last minute that I'm going to jump out and do a standup or jump out and do some interviews.

To have some idea what it's like stand in the outside lane of a motorway get your mate to drive his car at you at 95 mph and wait until he's 12 yards away before you decide which way to jump.

We couldn't get the car back until well after the end of the race and we had very little time for repairs.

The red carpet is kind of a surreal experience. There's nothing normal about it so for me the most important thing is to maintain some normality right until the point you get out of the car.

My first car was a 1976 Toyota Corolla Liftback in red like the one in 'The Blues Brothers.' I painted a Union Jack on the roof. I was absolutely in love with it until I destroyed it which broke my heart!

I didn't get my first car until I was 22. It was a BMW 1602 and now I've got it back I'm waiting to restore it.

One thing that worried me was how writers get categorized and so they end up having to write the same kind of book again and again. That is fine if it is what you want to do but I would rather be locked in the trunk of my car with a weasel than write the same book every three years until I die.

If your goal is to be the biggest movie star in the world a 10-movie contract is gold. It was never my goal. Up until now I made movies - and I have a nice house a nice car. I'm fortunate happy and grateful. Life is good.
