If you start any large theory such as quantum mechanics plate tectonics evolution it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so.

Both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery surrounded by it.

'Snow White' is an old fairy tale so obviously the idea of vanity and obsession with youth is long-standing. With today's science people have become crazy with trying to move their face around. It's bizarre.

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow between science and superstition.

Science has explained nothing the more we know the more fantastic the world becomes and the profounder the surrounding darkness.

Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber if he has common sense on the ground floor.

Even when I begin with a situation that's basically funny or sad I like to keep poking around in it. I like to get into the middle of a relationship to explore the subtle places.

Film-makers are always going to be interested in making movies that plug into society around them. That's what a vibrant artistically alert community should be doing. After all it would be sad if we only made films about alien robots.

That's what so sad about a lot of modern music in my opinion so many young bands never stay around long enough to fulfill their ultimate promise. They only get halfway there or a quarter of the way there.

You put a song on the record or on tape and you stop singing it. You just don't sit around and sing it anymore unless you're performing. That's kind of sad.
