I can't ever remember not wanting to be a scientist.

We need to drive like hell and get to the hills before the winter sets in.

Having been given that public trust, we have a responsibility to share with the public.

The thing that sets Mars apart is that it is the one planet that is enough like Earth that you can imagine life possibly once having taken hold there.

We're stunned by the diversity of rocks. This stuff looks like it was put into a blender.

The rocks, to a great extent, look swept clean. It's a much cleaner surface than what we had a right to hope for.

This whole mission has surpassed all of our expectations.

You create a pile of dirt and then drive over it. We may have to learn to drive all over again.

These rovers are living on borrowed time. We're so past warranty on them. You try to push them hard every day because we're living day to day.

We didn't know if the rover could climb up or down the hills of the crater.

I want to make as many people as possible feel like they are part of this adventure. We are going to give everybody a sense of what exploring the surface of another world is really like.

It's not going to fill in the potholes. It's not going to put a roof over people's heads. What it does is it helps to address really fundamental questions of who we are, where we came from, by which I mean we can learn how life came about.

When we opened our eyes, we saw bedrock exposed in the walls of the crater.

That's really what science is just trying to figure stuff out, and I like figuring stuff out.

Taking part in these types of programs is crucial to our youth and crucial to the future of this game.

What's the point of doing a brilliant Hedda Gabler in my back garden if no one will ever see it?

When somebody challenges you, fight back. Be brutal, be tough.

I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he's going to do, even when it's hard - especially when it's hard.

If people are concerned about my house and where I live again it's much more of a reflection on them than it is on me.

I try to bring elements of my own personality to every character I've played, but I think I'm pretty similar to the character I'm playing now. The biggest departure would have to have been Freaks and Geeks Sara, who was this sort of subordinate and shy girl.

Old women especially are invisible. I have been to parties where no one knows who I am, so I am ignored until I introduce myself to someone picked at random. Immediately, word gets round, and I am surrounded by people who tell me they are my biggest fans.

We can't deny that films have a bigger reach. After the popularity of the 'Slumdog Millionaire,' a lot of people started reading Vikas Swarup's 'Q & A'. From a business sense, films are a good tool to increase the number of readers.

When I came into the mobile phone business, I was really the upstart who pretty much took the business, not quite by storm, but really made an impact on it quite early on. But it was from a position, really, of feeling that I was a last mover.

If there was one overarching theme to 'True Detective,' I would say it was that, as human beings, we are nothing but the stories we live and die by - so you'd better be careful what stories you tell yourself.

Everybody in Argentina can remember 'the hand of God' in the England match in the 1986 World Cup. Now, in my country, the 'hand of God' has brought us an Argentinian pope.

Doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong - if I'm hungry or hot, I'm probably arguing with someone about something. Especially if that someone is rude.

I just see how Donald Trump treats other people, and I was impressed by that.

There are millions of Americans who belong by nature in movie theaters as they belong at political rallies or in fortuneteller parlors and on the shoot-the-chutes. To these millions, the movies are a sort of boon - a gaudier version of religion.

After a long, impartial enquiry of the truth, and after much and earnest calling upon God, to give unto me the spirit and revelation in the knowledge of Him, I find myself obliged, both by the principles of reason and Scripture, to embrace the opinion I now hold forth.

There is nothing wrong with eating sweets, fried foods, pastries, even drinking soda every now and then, but food manufacturers have made eating these formerly expensive and hard-to-make treats so cheap and easy that we're eating them every day.

I don't really think about what's 'age appropriate' for my audience because I think they can handle quite a bit, but I do try to think about what's honest and true to my characters who have grown up in situations where they've been taught to handle these things very carefully and that they're very powerful.

Once I'm committed, I'm unafraid of the outcome.

Fascinations breeds preparedness and preparedness survival.

I'm crap at interviews. I'm just not very good at sentences.

I'm every bourgeois nightmare - a Cockney with intelligence and a million dollars.

I believe in myself.

The best thing about the iPhone is this that tells me where I am all the time. There's never a need to feel lost anymore.

The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.
