The mania is like wasps under the skin, like my head's going to explode with ideas.
I didn't know what Facebook was, and now that I do know what it is, I have to say, it sounds like a huge waste of time.
I feel like I'm wasting time if I repeat myself.
I hate wasting time getting dressed. I like to put something on and just think, 'Yes. That's it.'
In Los Angeles, I feel like I'm wasting time while I'm driving, so now I listen to NPR and the 'Serial' podcast. I'm like, 'Yay! I can learn something while driving.'
I was watching TV once, and 'Jailhouse Rock' comes on, and I'm like, 'What is this?' I started watching it, and at the end, I thought, 'This is what I want to do. That's what I want to be. That's for me. That's it!'
When I read 'Watchmen,' it changed my view of so many things. It was the first time I'd read a graphic novel really like that.
I like Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City. With the waterfall and things like that, I think it's pretty cool.
Some places you play in America, it's like 'On the Waterfront.'
I started getting interested in the craft and watching old movies, and they're the ones that reach out to me the most - films like 'Cool Hand Luke' and 'On the Waterfront.' So I start watching all of these, and I was getting educated, and I started being interested in this acting thing, if that's what they call it.
Geo-stationary orbit is actually real estate - you can only put so many satellites up there. It's like waterfront property at the beach. Everyone builds the biggest thing they can put up there.
In environments that are energy-rich but liquid-poor, like near the surface of Titan, natural selection may favor organisms that use their metabolic heat to melt their own watering holes.
We were wavering around like a ship without a sail.
I want to see the Memphis flags waving on the cars. I want to see the T-shirts going again, the hats going again like the old school days, and that's what we want to take it back to.
When chimps threaten, they open their mouth and show their teeth. It's a little like waving a knife in front of you. It's very primitive, and therefore bizarre.
Everyone has different things they like in terms of board setup. The grind of the board and how it's waxed - you want to make sure that the speed of the board is right for the conditions of the halfpipe. And then there's the edges and the bevel of the edge.
I've taken a lot of crap. That's just the way life is. There are going to be writers who like you and writers who despise you.
It feels like being in a band is a luxury now: like you can only do it if you're signed really early or you come from a wealthy family.
In general, when moviemakers talk to scientists, they usually see them as a resource to solve particular technical problems or script problems for them. So, something like: what sort of weaponry would aliens be able to wield?
When Barack Obama tries to continually weasel his ever-expanding government into the private sector or does something like try to sneak the biggest backdoor tax in history into the books, he ceases to be 'Presidential.'
