You can involve yourself in electronics computers puzzles... there's a lot of creativity and brain working. There's a lot to model trains that people don't realize.

I do two things. I design mobile computers and I study brains.

In one century we've added 28 years to our average life span - a change so rapid that our brains couldn't possibly have evolved to accommodate it.

The first trip I remember taking was on the train from Virginia up to New York City watching the summertime countryside rolling past the window. They used white linen tablecloths in the dining car in those days and real silver. I love trains to this day. Maybe that was the beginning of my fixation with leisurely modes of travel.

The thing about drugs and sex is that you lose all your inhibitions. I've had sex in trains planes wine bars... and quite a few car parks!

Living the past is a dull and lonely business looking back strains the neck muscles causing you to bump into people not going your way.

What I loved about 'Summer' was that they were these four bright kids with a wonderful future. In a way she was the one with the brains and then you have the beauty queen and the jock and the introvert.

The reason that the all-American boy prefers beauty to brains is that he can see better than he can think.

Doors open because you're beautiful but I wouldn't cultivate beauty to the exclusion of brains.

We have magnificent brains but we use a great deal of our brilliance to keep ourselves stuck and ignorant to keep ourselves from not shining. We are so afraid of our beauty and radiance and brilliance because it scared the adults around us when we were children.
