Every second of every day, our senses bring in way too much data than we can possibly process in our brains.
Few people realize what a handicap it is to be what people call a beautiful woman. I’m glad, of course, that I don’t look like an unmade bed, but too often, I’m just taken at face value. And there aren’t many men who believe a beautiful woman can have any brains.
I do want my films to have the required entertainment quotient, but I’d prefer doing films where you don’t have to leave your brains behind.

This is what I do. I look at brains. I’m fascinated by it. I can spend hours doing it. In fact, if I want to relax, that’s one way I can relax.
The brutal truth is, we’re scarcely ‘educating’ children at all. Even if you overlook the guilt, fear, bigotry, and dangerous anti-intellectual flapdoodle being funneled into young brains by schools on the religious right, what we’re doing is training kids to be cogs in the wheels of commerce.
What I appreciate is acknowledging to the audience that I think they have brains.

Killing animals and eating meat have been significant components of human evolution that had a synergistic relationship with other key attributes that have made us human, with larger brains, smaller guts, bipedalism, and language.
A great hope gets crushed every time someone reminds us that happiness can be neither assumed nor earned; that we are all prisoners of our own flawed brains; that the ultimate aloneness in each of us is, finally, inviolable.
We must develop as quickly as possible technologies that make possible a direct connection between brain and computer, so that artificial brains contribute to human intelligence rather than opposing it.
There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God’s gracious creation.
People in L.A. don’t have to brace themselves against the cold; they slack off permanently, and their brains turn to mush.

I’m dying to do a masala Bollywood film with typical song and dance. But having said that, my character in the film should have her own point of view. I won’t play a role who has no brains.
Ever since viewing screens entered the home, many observers have worried that they put our brains into a stupor. An early strain of research claimed that when we watch television, our brains mostly exhibit slow alpha waves – indicating a low level of arousal, similar to when we are daydreaming.
In making certain things easier for people, technology has actually demotivated people from using their brains. We have all these devices that keep us connected, and yet we’re more disconnected than ever before. Why is that?

I routinely interview college students, mostly from top schools, and I notice that their brains are like old maps, with lots of blank spaces for the uncharted terrain.

We owe our big brains less to inventiveness than to conflicts of interest among social minds engaged in an arms race to be the best at manipulating others.
