I am the primitive of the method I have invented.

I go to this gym full of stunt men. There aren’t any TVs or treadmills there. This is a spit-and-sawdust kind of place. It has a lot of great training aids – trampolines and bags and every weapon ever invented to do harm to a human being. If you want to know how to throw a knife, it’s great.

Airplanes were invented by natural selection. Now you can say that intelligent design designs our airplanes of today, but there was no intelligent design really designing those early airplanes.

I think we live in a unique time – the verbs that make up our online and mobile lives haven’t been completely invented or imagined for us. That was kind of a life path I was on.
It doesn’t really feel like it’s got anything to do with me. I mean, I know I wrote it, and all that and invented the characters and made it up, but it’s Mike’s film, so doing the press and stuff, it feels a little bit inauthentic. I was just one component of it.
The Laffer Curve, by the way, was not invented by me.
There are so many rules about how you make a film and so many conventions that you can and can’t do. I think people have forgotten that they are just rules that were invented for convenience – sometimes it is more convenient not to obey the rules.

Not much was really invented during the Renaissance, if you don’t count modern civilization.

A style is the consequence of recurrent habits, restraints, or rules invented or inherited, written or overheard, intuitive or preconceived.
Mother goddesses are just as silly a notion as father gods. If a revival of the myths of these cults gives woman emotional satisfaction, it does so at the price of obscuring the real conditions of life. This is why they were invented in the first place.
This is America. And we’ve basically invented the computer, and we should invent ways to protect all those that use it.

About the most exciting thing a baby can do is burp – I’ve spent hours of my life holding a baby on my shoulder and patting its back, trying to loosen up a burp. Burping was probably invented to give the father something positive to do, since our chests are not equipped to allow us to do much else.
Something most people don’t know about me is that I’m obsessed with technology. With that in mind, the ‘material’ I’d most like to experiment is the material that has yet to be invented.
Management did not emanate from nature. Management is not a tree: it’s a television set. Somebody invented it. It doesn’t mean it’s going to work forever. Management is great. Traditional notions of management are great if you want compliance. But if you want engagement, self-direction works better.
