I think documentaries are the greatest way to educate an entire generation that doesn't often look back to learn anything about the history that provided a safe haven for so many of us today.

Remember, science fiction's always been the kind of first level alert to think about things to come. It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching to them. Every science fiction movie I have ever seen, any one that's worth its weight in celluloid, warns us about things that ultimately come true.

All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives.

I think the key divide between the interactive media and the narrative media is the difficulty in opening up an empathic pathway between the gamer and the character, as differentiated from the audience and the characters in a movie or a television show.

Safety lies in tending towards our highest and not in resting content with an inferior potentiality..... To rest in or follow after an inferior potentiality may seem safe, rational, comfortable, easy, but it ends badly, in some futility or in a mere circling down the abyss or in a stagnant morass. Our right and natural road is towards the summits.

The minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion.

If you think you're going to be up for an Oscar, you schedule your moviemaking.

I don't think I'll ever act again.

I definitely fall into the camp of thinking of AI as augmenting human capability and capacity.

When we think about even the PC market and what is required in the student as well as in the consumer market, we want to be able to compete in the opening price point.

I can look back over my earlier music, and it takes me back to the place I was emotionally.

I go out on the road for much longer than I probably should and lose more of myself than I should.

I play piano every day.

I try so hard to live in the moment - I don't think ahead very much.

It's a very romantic sentiment, but to think that you would die if you didn't write, well, I would definitely choose to not write and live.

I think sometimes all you need is to hear someone else say the same thing that you're going through to realize that you're not alone. I try to put some sense of hope into the songs, into whatever the situation is so that it's not just dirt, drudgery and a life of misery.

If I had to pick one song for me that sort of quintessentially summed me up, it would be 'Angel.' Without fail, I absolutely love singing it.

The first gig we ever played was in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where I'm from. I was in a band called the October Game, and we opened up for a Vancouver band.

I think a lot of contemplation happens in bathtubs. It does for me. Nothing like a hot bath to ease the tension and think about what's going to happen next.

We're constantly being told what other people think we are, and that's why it is so important to know yourself.

Not everything has to be immediate.

Men, I still think, ought to be weighed, not counted. Their worth ought to be the final estimate of their value.

If I look confused it is because I am thinking.

I don't think anyone should write their autobiography until after they're dead.
