My wish is to stay always like this, living quietly in a corner of nature.
I use a quill pen dipped in India ink. I also like Faber-Castell brush pens and Pigma Micron pens. And I work on Duo-Shade board.
Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don't rush; otherwise you'll look like a patchwork quilt.
In 1956, when I began doing theoretical physics, the study of elementary particles was like a patchwork quilt. Electrodynamics, weak interactions, and strong interactions were clearly separate disciplines, separately taught and separately studied. There was no coherent theory that described them all.
As a little girl, I thought I'd like to get married on the beach. But I'm not the quintessential girl who had these sort of fantasies about that stuff.
Quite often, I'll be sent a script for a movie. And I find that I like it, so I say I'll do it. But then they rewrite it for me. They make it quirky. Odd. I find that rather annoying. I call it Walkenising.
Being in the audience actually looks like quite a lot of fun.
I grew up in a culture of motorbikes. So I like racing just fine. Quite a lot, actually. That was when I was a boy in Australia. And I never really made the jump to cars after that.
I had been wrestling with a fracture in my elbow and a slight tear in my triceps for quite some time, but it was continuing to get worse. As I worked through it, I ended up dislocating my shoulder and tearing my labrum. All of these injuries were on the same arm, so things like working out or even sleeping became increasingly difficult.
I never really had any close friends in India, and I felt a terrible loneliness and isolation for many years. Westernized Indians don't like my books and I tend not to like westernized Indians - so we're quits.
It was kind of ridiculous to carry it up to a certain point and then drop the ball or the bomb, like quitting the band right after we had signed to Virgin.
I used to enjoy bad television, like really bad quiz programmes or sitcoms.
An apt quotation is like a lamp which flings its light over the whole sentence.
Quotations in my work are like wayside robbers who leap out armed and relieve the stroller of his conviction.
I would not consider myself to be a quote unquote real New York rapper. I don't even like New York rappers.
I like quoting 'Lord of the Rings': 'My list of allies grows thin! My list of enemies grows long!'
Quoting, like smoking, is a dirty habit to which I am devoted.
Calling a taxi in Texas is like calling a rabbi in Iraq.
In my neighborhood, everyone had an opinion on the local cantor. You didn't go to a synagogue to listen to the rabbi's sermon. You went to listen to the cantor. It was like a concert.
During times of plenty - when venture funding is abundant and startups multiply like rabbits - every business looks like a winner.
