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

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.

Sales may lead to advertising as much as advertising leads to sales.

Nine-tenths of the people were created so you would want to be with the other tenth.

On girls night in we talk about dating the ups and downs of the previous week. Our collective laughter is uncontrollable and tearful even the most disappointing dates become meritorious on girls night in.

I enjoyed hitting in the Major Leagues more than in the Minor Leagues. I didn't want to tell anybody it was easier, because I didn't want to sound cocky. But Major League pitchers had better control, and most of them were around the plate.

I have a mentality of not worrying about what people say about me, good or bad. That's not what I'm putting my energy into.

I just did what I found interesting. I was so lucky that I was able to do that, especially in the '90s. I was really able to have a life to go back to.

A chaplain's biggest gift is to be present and just listen.

What you might see as depravity is, to me, just another aspect of the human condition.

I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.

Politicians... talk in generalities and lies, and I think they've caused all our grief. They're so awful, they're really funny. I hate thinking this because my dad loved politics.

Sometimes its better to be alone no one can hurt you that way.

Circumstances which we have resented situations which we have found desperately difficult have all been the means in the hands of God of driving the nails into the self life which so easily complains.

I usually prepare a track, and then I work with the artist when it's time to do the vocals.

When a politician like Marco Rubio is willing to sacrifice his career defining immigration reform legislation solely to insure that gays and lesbians are denied equal protection under the law, we have to admit that we're under attack. This is not pragmatic politics at work. These are the policies of bias, exclusion and unfairness.

I was very lucky. I left college, and Richard Eyre was in charge of the National Theatre. I was offered the lead in 'The Seagull' with no experience and went on to do five plays there.

If you live in a ghetto and really want not to just change your life and your family's life but change your ghetto's life, make your ghetto a good neighbourhood, learn science; try to be like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

You can either see yourself as a wave in the ocean or you can see yourself as the ocean.

I spent the majority of time at school trying to break the rules. I would climb to the top of buildings; I even burned a building down once - not intentionally, just because I was interested in fire. I remember going through the rule book, ticking off the ones I had broken and looking for the ones I hadn't.

He could not see a belt without hitting below it.

I haven't got the energy to write now.

So when I write characters and situations and relationships, I try to sort of utilize what I know about the world, limited as it is, and what I hear from my friends and see with my relatives.

When I was a teenager, you couldn't get straight pants. Then in '76, when punk started to hit, it was a revelation that you could find straight pants again.

Would that I were a dry well, and that the people tossed stones into me, for that would be easier than to be a spring of flowing water that the thirsty pass by, and from which they avoid drinking.

I'm very at ease, and I like it. I never thought I would be such a family-oriented guy; I didn't think that was part of my makeup. But somebody said that as you get older you become the person you always should have been, and I feel that's happening to me. I'm rather surprised at who I am, because I'm actually like my dad!
