If it wasn't for the fun and money, I really don't know why I'd bother.

You can't remember the plot of the Dr Who movie because it didn't have one, just a lot of plot holes strung together. It did have a lot of flashing lights, though.

Eight years involved with the nuclear industry have taught me that when nothing can possible go wrong and every avenue has been covered, then is the time to buy a house on the next continent.

Opera happens because a large number of things amazingly fail to go wrong.

Freedom without limits is just a word.

Music is the soul of language.

I think the cinema you like has more to do with silence, and the theater you like has more to do with language.
