As a kid I grew to define what I didn't want my life to be like by sitting behind moaning women on the bus hearing them bang on about their aches and pains both real and imagined.

I remember the first time I saw the 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' video. I will never forget that day. I just wanted to see Kurt Cobain's face. I had a feeling he was very cute. But I couldn't see his face. When I finally did see him he was even cuter than I imagined!

The relevance of Marxism to science is that it removes it from its imagined position of complete detachment and shows it as a part but a critically important part of economy and social development.

As far as the leading man/romantic lead I'll tell you what I really enjoyed my experience more than I thought or imagined I would on 'Catch and Release.' God bless them if they want to give me another shot at that. I would love to have that as something I can go to on occasion.

Now that I look back on it having retired from being a reporter it was kind of romantic. It was a wonderful way to live one's life just as I imagined it would be when I was 6 or 7.

I think the new generation is much more demanding about respect for the environment than we have ever imagined.

There are times as a parent when you realize that your job is not to be the parent you always imagined you'd be the parent you always wished you had. Your job is to be the parent your child needs given the particulars of his or her own life and nature.

Life is much shorter than I imagined it to be.

A great many things which in times of lesser knowledge we imagined to be superstitious or useless prove today on examination to have been of immense value to mankind.

I still have a photo on my wall of the greatest idol I will ever have in my life and it's myself at eight. Because that's when the forces of imagination have the same value as the real world when they're an instrument of survival: when my mother disappeared and I imagined a mother. That was me at my best.
