But for me, it was a code I myself had invented! Yet I could not read it.

And, not only in Budapest. I worked very closely with a very powerful government organization, which shall remain unidentified, to develop the mass marketed version of the Cube.

Once I completed the Cube and demonstrated it to my students, I realized it was nearly impossible to put down.

Usually we are saying only part of the truth.

A good puzzle, it's a fair thing. Nobody is lying. It's very clear, and the problem depends just on you.

I wanted nothing else than to make the object as perfect as possible.

The problems of puzzles are very near the problems of life.

The Cube is an imitation of life itself - or even an improvement on life.

Our whole life is solving puzzles.

It was tremendously satisfying to watch this color parade.

This was such an extraordinary situation that I simply could not accept it.

I do not truly consider myself an icon, but the Cube has been quite successful.

I was somewhat out of place among my classmates; I could not be as bohemian as they were.

Now, after the Cube, I still don't have any plans to make anything like it.

We turn the Cube and it twists us.

I want to try to keep my life the same.

In my teaching, I enjoyed creating models to clearly communicate my thoughts.

I did not plan to make the Cube.

But thanks to my invention, my capitalist friends and I were able to bring the government to its knees.

The Cube can seem alive as it heats up in your hand. The fact that each face of the Cube is made of three layers of three blocks has an important meaning.

Yes, but with the Cube there are many flashes, there are many aha's.

I'm still the same person, thinking the same way, so it's possible I will invent something.

Like after a nice walk when you have seen many lovely sights you decide to go home, after a while I decided it was time to go home, let us put the cubes back in order. And it was at that moment that I came face to face with the Big Challenge: What is the way home?

I've always been passionate about geometry and the study of three-dimensional forms.

But for me, it was a code I myself had invented! Yet I could not read it.

Believing we know what makes prosperity work, ignoring the nature of the actual prosperity all around, we change the rules within which the Internet revolution lives. These changes will end the revolution.

I like emotional horror. I don't like horror movies. I hate them. But, if you can make emotional horror movies, I'm in. If I can care and root for the main character, then I'm in.

Screen is satisfying because it's so technical and mysterious. It's like playing roulette: you get a script, you think it's either great or naff, but you have no idea how it will really turn out. On stage, you are your own editor - and you get brief moments of grace, where suddenly you feel free.

Forget the miles forget them. Youll be there and Ill be here and itll just be long distance. And thatll be okay because quite frankly Im crazy about you.

I love people that, in the face of falling off a cliff, still want to fight about something that happened five minutes ago, going, 'Now, you know I'm right about that,' even though they're facing imminent doom.

When I think about my new CD, the word 'joy' comes to mind. I sincerely hope that each listener will feel the earth, spirit, and aggressive creativity emanating from this album.

It may take us a little longer to reach the summit, but never fear, we will get there!

Anyone whose needs are small seems threatening to the rich, because he's always ready to escape their control.

It's very hard for individual inventors to get paid. For the same reason that private equity is valuable - broadly, that's a good thing - in the case of patents, many that own them aren't in a good position to take the next step.

I love it when the director says, 'Rebel, just do whatever you want.' I'm, like, 'Yes!'

As much as I can act, I don't have anything in me that yearns to be an actor - that sense of needing to be onstage, in costume, in character; that is utterly not interesting to me.

Let's not overlook, though, what we do know about the campaign finance scandal, and the fact the Chinese were involved in our presidential campaign and our congressional campaigns.

I've always been drawn to spooky things, to the unusual, to things that are dark but in a friendly way.

My work is like a dialogue between me and unseen powers, like alchemy.

I've always felt that you can't do much wrong in a garden providing you enjoy it.

It is a significant gamble to assume that troops in our U.K. Armed Forces would volunteer for a Scottish Defence Force.

By the time I came to the States, I really understood how a magazine works. I came to 'Vogue' as creative director, and three years later I went back to London to be editor in chief of British 'Vogue.'

Most hiring managers interview a lot of people. So many that they generally have to go back to their notes to remember candidates - the exception being candidates with a strong hook. Sometimes these hooks are how people dress or their personality, but the best hook is a strong story that's work-related.

The Welsh are all actors. It's only the bad ones who become professional.

Honestly, I find writing to be a very lonely job.

Perfume: any smell that is used to drown a worse one.

I never looked at my future as comedy. Even at Second City, I always thought of it as acting. I knew I was going to be an actor financially, emotionally, egotistically.

My Nike Free sneakers add a splash of color and slide on fast, perfect for when I'm rushing to catch the school bus. And my favorite cargos are skinny but stretchy, so I can go up or down a few pounds and they still fit!

Mostly this problem is contained in the fact that the US makes it so difficult for Canadians to get green cards (you heard it here), but if an American orchestra really wants a player, they have their ways.
