When I'm online, I'm alone in a room, tapping on a keyboard, staring at a cathode-ray tube.

Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?

Rather than bringing me closer to others, the time that I spend online isolates me from the most important people in my life, my family, my friends, my neighbourhood, my community.

Merely that I have a World Wide Web page does not give me any power, any abilities, nor any status in the real world.

Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don't let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months.

If you don't have an E-mail address, you're in the Netherworld. If you don't have your own World Wide Web page, you're a nobody.

While I admire the insights of many of the people in the world of computing, I get this cold feeling that I speak a different language.

Computers in classrooms are the filmstrips of the 1990s.

Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom.

The Internet is a telephone system that's gotten uppity.

A box of crayons and a big sheet of paper provides a more expressive medium for kids than computerized paint programs.

The internet is a telephone system that's gotten uppity.

Anyone can post messages to the net. Practically everyone does. The resulting cacophony drowns out serious discussion.

When you're playing a character, I think it's always better not to judge that character.

I was born in Mexico because my father was teaching at a school in Mexico City. I was born during the third year he was there. And when I was 16, I returned to Mexico to learn Spanish.

We're not like robots. God promises to guide us through the Holy Spirit, but He gives us the freedom to make our own decisions.

The extremists wanted to divide France; it came together.

Lyft is enabling an exciting new model of freedom and personal mobility, as evidenced by its millions of satisfied users.

Once you do have a child, you want to talk about every detail of it. And it is really boring to all your friends, and it should be. I was really worried about even going there at all.

If you take out the team in teamwork, it’s just work. Now who wants that?

A hermitage in the forest is the refuge of the narrow-minded misanthrope; a hammock on the ocean is the asylum for the generous distressed.

You have to live what you write, or you have to know it. There are exceptions, like story songs, where you just have to have your facts straight. But I think you don't have to live a hard life to be a good or interesting songwriter.

We need Hollywood to make movies and television shows about sexy female engineers.

As a writer myself, my job has very often been to also write on the job. So you get the script and a vague idea of how the scene might work, and you then add funny words or change the script. I'm not the world's best writer or the world's best actor, but I can do that thing where I can fix - or ruin - fix-slash-ruin, add quirk, add value.

I don't see any of my colleagues as rivals. I don't think our generation needs to do that. We are a chilled out lot, and we should all be happy.

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.

An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. Isaac Stern takes good care of his violin. What if everybody jumped on his violin?

My parents told me I'd point to a bed of flowers and say 'Pink. Pretty,' before I knew any other words.

Verjuice may not be the easiest thing in the world to find, but you should be able to track some down in good delis and online.

I require every Taipei student to swim; if they can't pass the test they won't graduate. Why do I do that? Because I think that is very, very important integral part of their education.

One's art is just one's effort to wed oneself to the universe, to unify oneself through union.

I always felt that my way into comedy would be through my writing rather than my acting.

Public misbehavior by the famous is a powerful teaching tool.

I had to fight the intellectual label when I started in television, because, first of all, it's not going to help you commercially, and also, it wasn't particularly true of me. I mean, if anybody thought I was an intellectual, they probably had never really seen one.

I don't believe in flagship retail, because the definition of flagship retail is that it's a marketing expense, and it's going to lose money.

I regard the writing of humor as a supreme artistic challenge.

I feel like when you do things with such a small budget, it actually makes you be more creative... and allows you to concentrate more on the story and the characters. I think that there is something about dirty, gritty and raw filmmaking that makes it feel a little more natural and makes it easier to connect with the action.
