There is absolutely no point in not being a populist. What I feel emboldened to do is to take something which is a minority interest and make it accessible without dumbing it down. I’m such an enthusiast for peculiar things, things that are perhaps a bit avant-garde, and try and involve everyone.

When I was maybe eight or nine years old, I first learned about the climate crisis in school. My teachers taught me about it and we saw films and pictures of plastic in the ocean and extreme weather events. Those pictures were just stuck in my head; I thought, there is no point in anything.
Nobody can hide their birthdays anymore, so there’s no point in lying.

There is no point in developing anything at the cost of exploiting and abusing animals.

We humans are not the end of evolution, so if we can make a machine that’s as smart as a person, we can probably also make one that’s much smarter. There’s no point in making just another person. You want to make one that can do things we can’t.
There is no point in appearing in just a few episodes. If I do a show on television, it won’t be for a few episodes only.

I’m trying to focus on the 100 and 200 breaststroke now. There’s no point concentrating on the 50 when it’s not in the Olympics. I’m not going to quit the 50 but it’s not my priority any more. I’ll do it but as part of my bid for gold at the other distances.
The viewers have the brains to decide the merits of a film and there is no point in blaming them if it flops.
