I miss riding those fast trains in Japan… ’cause I’d never seen a train that fast in my life.
Employers love cheap labor, but a country should train its own people.

I never understood the concept of a fluffy summer read. For me, summer reading means beaches, long train rides and layovers in foreign airports. All of which call for escaping into really long books.

I’ve had situations where producers would be like, ‘Could you meet me? Take the train; don’t tell your parents.’

I pay people very, very well – probably more than I have to. But that costs me less money in the long run because I’m not having to constantly train somebody. I pay them enough that they don’t go seeking a higher scale at the next restaurant.

‘300’ was a real turning point in my career. Until then, I felt like a steam train that was slowly chugging to the top of a hill. Now I’m over that hill, my career seems to have its own momentum.

I’m completely absorbed by Peter Guralnick’s definitive, two-part biography of Elvis Presley: ‘Last Train To Memphis’ and ‘Careless Love.’ Meticulously researched, this is a compelling mix of history, myth-busting, and, of course, some timeless music.
In 2008, I decided I wanted to begin a new venture, so I started Rethink Robotics. We build factory robots that a person can learn to train in just a few minutes. In May 2011, I stepped off the iRobot board.
I can’t listen to music when I’m writing. I like music best in a car or on the train.

The swim at Deception Island was by far the hardest swim I’ve ever done. Antarctica is a very unforgiving environment. If you don’t train properly, you’ll die.
Before they deploy, they train for the specific operations, but there is a danger that the Army is not retaining the core of its full capabilities.
A lot of Hollywood films tend to be bloated, bombastic, loud. At the same time, I do like the infrastructure of making a blockbuster; it’s like having a big train set.

When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.
I train to fight five rounds, but if we can end the fight in the first round, it’s even better.
The Lilith Fair thing was Bummer Town – hey, hop aboard the marginalizing train. I guess you had people come out of that and have careers, but I think there was a pretty intense backlash, too.
‘Sir’ Richard Branson may be the Julian Assange of British business, in that both believe the world revolves around them. Hence Branson’s decision to set up an air service between Manchester and London, above the route of the train line that’s been taken from him.
I really want to do a Western. I want to be the dude who is riding horses and doing exciting things – something where I get to do something physical and have to train for it. I don’t want to be the damsel.
The one album I can’t live without is called ‘Cumbolo’ by a band called Culture. Every song on their album is deep, but there’s one in particular called ‘This Train.’ I have a tattoo of the lyrics on my left arm.
