The work of science is to substitute facts for appearances and demonstrations for impressions.

A scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light but rather because its opponents eventually die and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about which is really sad.

Because the sad fact is that the Enron Corporation and others manipulated with unfortunately great effect the energy market in the West Coast starting in 2000.

It is a historical error for those who were not there to just refer to August 28th as 'I Have a Dream' speech day. That is a real disservice to those who were there. It was a sad day. It was not a celebration environment.

When I did the film Generations in which the character died I felt like a guest for the first time. That made me very sad.

I'm no romantic surfing California boy. I like reading writing philosophizing. Scheming. I've been doing some exploration of the inner space.

People say the 'Lost Generation' in a romantic sense but I think it was tragic. They were really lost.

What Romantic terminology called genius or talent or inspiration is nothing other than finding the right road empirically following one's nose taking shortcuts.

I wouldn't treat a romantic scene any differently than any other scene. I would really say the biggest preparation was chewing gum and breath mints! For a kissing scene it's all about the breath mints!
