I do love science fiction but it's not really a genre unto itself it always seems to merge with another genre. With the few movies I've done I've ended up playing with genre in some way or another so any genre that's made to mix with others is like candy to me. It allows you to use big mythic situations to talk about ordinary things.

I don't know how the poor farmers deal with such situations in real life. It's really sad.

And across Afghanistan every single day Afghan soldiers Afghan police and ISAF troops are serving shoulder-to-shoulder in some very difficult situations. And our engagement with them our shoulder-to-shoulder relationship with them our conduct of operations with them every single day defines the real relationship.

I certainly wanted to maintain some sense of mystery about Picard and that's why we never allowed certain situations to fully evolve like the relationship between Picard and Beverly Crusher.

My family gave me values that have sustained me through situations that would challenge any person. My personal relationship with the Lord inspires me in all I do.

There is something in even the darkest situations that we can make a positive in our lives.

I've had to deal with all different types of situations - positive and negative and extremes of both.

Politics and war are remarkably similar situations.

So I suppose poetry language the shaping of it was and remains for me an effort to make sense out of essentially senseless situations.

All my life I've taken photographs of people who are completely at peace being what they were in the situations I photographed them in.
