I was happy when I got into film school. I’d simply satisfied my ambition to show them that I could get in – nothing else – although I do believe they shouldn’t have accepted me. I was a complete idiot. I can’t understand why they took me. Probably because I’d tried three times.

A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.

Personally, my twenties were a complete waste of time. Professionally, I hope some good came of them.

I don’t think that science is complete at all. We don’t understand everything, and one can see, within science itself, there are many inconsistencies. We just have to accept that we don’t understand.
I’m a mathematician. I can trade in facts about false positives and absolute truths about accuracy and statistics with complete confidence.

You can’t get a car loan or money from a bank to start a business. So most end up back in prison within 24 months. It’s just so wrong. We need to fix this problem.

Every time Jimmy Scott sings, it’s the same but slightly different. I don’t know how he does that or where he gets that from. I think it’s instinct. Nothing he does is by chance; he’s in complete control of what he’s doing. He’s just beautiful and unique.
Opposites attract, and I think temperament is so fundamental that you end up craving someone of the opposite temperament to complete you.
