There just aren't that many Jesus roles around.

I was notified on July 17 to be ready to start August 7 for an October air date. When we reached the screen we did not have a single segment ready. It was done so fast the writers never got a chance to know what it was all about.

I love doing motion pictures and expect to be as busy as I want to be in them.

The idea of making pictures abroad is exciting when you're in Hollywood and have never worked in foreign countries. You think you'll get to see the sights and have all the fun that goes with traveling. Actually, you spend so much time on the job that you don't do much else.

With all the weird surroundings of outer space the basic underlying theme of the show is a philosophical approach to man's relationship to woman. There are both sexes in the crew, in fact, the first officer is a woman.

You try to get the feel of any role, but it's much more difficult in the case of Christ because everyone has their own personal image of Him. It's a role you take on, knowing that no matter how you play it, you are going to disappoint many.

I doubt if the public thought of me as Christ when they next saw me as Temple Houston on television.

When it comes to turning out movies, I'm for Hollywood.

There just aren't that many Jesus roles around.

I was warned not to do it. Actors who play Jesus are supposed to have a hard time getting other roles to follow, but I felt this was a myth. After all, how can you be typecast as Christ?

We had to be parents by long distance, which is far from satisfactory.

I would write a scientific paper with the devil, if it was on high temperatures. The fellow's probably an authority.

To me, innovations are the wheel, fire, language, movable type. There are not 3 million innovations; there are 3 million inventions.

The secret to success is to know something nobody else knows.

I remember when the idea of living to be 40 seemed absurd.

People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.

A lot of the hip hop artists don't write music. They write words.

Find a job you like and you add five days to every week.

I am an artist... I am here to live out loud.

Once I fell out of a tree and was hit by a motorbike. I still have the scar on my head now.

I got really excited about the idea of data-driven startup just as I was starting Kaggle.

We have a saying in Guns N' Roses: 'When somebody's gonna get yelled at, they're gonna get the corn.'

Sometimes it just feels like the only thing you do is play hockey and eat.

I enjoy seeing new places.

The rage was in me, and if it wasn't for the rage, then I wouldn't know how to be calm. They feed off of each other. Just like when Malcolm X fed off Martin Luther King. They needed each other.

The more I compose, the more I know that I don't know it all. I think it's a good way to start. If you think you know it all, the work becomes a repetition of what you've already done. I try to make sure that I don't repeat my music.

It's what the Pixies always said about music - they were writing songs and just trying not to be boring. That was their main motivation and it worked for them. I remember reading that and thinking that was the way to do it.

I try to not focus on what people expect from me.

One of the most important things about the geology on the moon is your descriptions of what you see, comparing them to things that you've seen on Earth so that the geologists and the scientists on the ground would know what you're talking about; and then take pictures of them.

Daily life is better when it involves interactions with real people who have a personal investment in their labour, like shopkeepers, than it is with someone 'just doing my job' or the infernal self-checkout machine.

I have a brother-in-law who lives in Spain.

Let us go in the fog is rising.

Listing and counting have a spooky, magical power, and the holiday season is a spooky, magical time.

The warm green of the grass sprinkled with flowers of many hues is a carpet whereon we walk with noiseless tread.

Size doesn't mean anything - not all the time.
