Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise.

When I was a little boy, my wish was to be on an airplane. My wish was to get on a plane and fly to the sky.

I don’t listen to that many podcasts when I fly.

The big mathematical challenge for flying robots is making them move in six dimensions: x, y, z, pitch, yaw and roll. We create 3-D obstacle courses in the lab – windows, doors, hula-hoops taped to posts – and ask the robots to fly through. It looks like a Harry Potter Quidditch match.
Even after four years in office, George W. Bush’s record on women doesn’t leap out at you. It’s composed almost entirely of little things, small enough to fly well under the media’s radar screen, so few of us have any sense of their cumulative impact.

In racing, you want to win – there are no rules, and you can do whatever you want. Flying a plane is the opposite: you respect rules and fly to the rules. You can’t possibly compare the two.
I think L.A.’s terrific. You fly an hour and a half and you’re in the mountains in three feet of powder. I also think it’s a much better city if you’re working as an actor. If you’re not working and you don’t see your dreams coming true, there can be a lot of heartache.

I heard of this Texas studio. The owner, Tony Rancich, wanted to fly us out for the day to see the studio. I booked it the next day. He’s that rare guy that is in it purely for the love of it.

Humans are the only creatures with the ability to dive deep in the sea, fly high in the sky, send instant messages around the globe, reflect on the past, assess the present and imagine the future.
It’s the little details I love. How to fletch your arrows with owl feathers, because owls fly silently, so maybe your arrows will, too. How to carry fire in a piece of smouldering fungus wrapped in birchbark. These are the things which help a world come alive.
I would like to fly in space. Absolutely. That would be cool. I used to just do personally risky things, but now I’ve got kids and responsibilities, so I can’t be my own test pilot. That wouldn’t be a good idea. But I definitely want to fly as soon as it’s a sensible thing to do.

I never shot on sets, but if I was traveling somewhere or on location, I would always have my camera, and I’d always be – it’s that kind of fly on the wall approach to photography, though. I don’t engage the subject. I like to sneak around, skulk about in the dark.

I work on my novels wherever I have a PC, and I have four or five places around the world where I do have a PC. These days you can just slip a little flash drive into your top pocket, fly for 12 hours, come to another place, plug it into a computer and you are away again.

If you’re ever bcc’d, do not go near ‘reply all.’ ‘Bcc’ is ‘blind carbon copy.’ It means you’re a fly on the wall, dude! If you hit reply all, it’s beyond bad etiquette to out the person who gave you the superpower of invisibility. It’s like screaming, ‘I’m a spy!’
I’d really love to watch David Lynch work, to be a fly on the wall.
I’m not afraid of flying; I just fear I’m going to die. I think I’m – vulnerable. I admit it. I don’t fly. I got claustrophobia. I don’t go in high buildings. I don’t do those things. I’m just myself, whatever that is.
My parents were the only people to go to South Africa from Australia in a single engine plane… the two of them, no radio… you had to fly down low to see the street signs to know which city you were in… most people couldn’t speak English.

All of those years, I felt like ‘Heaven’s Gate’ was a beautiful, fantastically colored balloon tied to a string fastened to my wrist, so the balloon could never fly.

I want to fly a jet. I’d love to just be in the air and go mach 3 or mach 4. Or, I’d be an underwater salvager. I’ve always been fascinated with the Bermuda Triangle and Atlantis. I love chemistry, also. That’s why acting is so random for me!
You’ve got to pay me to leave my house, spend the night in hotels and fly in airplanes. That’s what I get paid for. Playing I actually do for free.

This is something I haven’t told many people, because it’s embarrassing. We always used to catch flies with our hands. I was the only one who could catch ’em. One-handed, two-handed. I actually studied flies. I’d watch ’em. How do you catch flies? They fly up. If I can catch that, I can catch anything.

As you get older, you have to force yourself to have new dreams. For instance, I’ve been flying for 37 years, but now teaching others to fly is interesting for me. Sometimes you have to find new angles on life to keep you interested, like sharing successes and inspiring and helping others.
I’m not a guy that’s going to shoot 10 3s a game – I like to get to the basket. But some of those shots I do gotta take. Some of those shots I gotta let fly.

I was 16. I went, auditioned, and then they called me and they were like ‘can you fly to Korea within two months?’ And then my whole life changed. In Australia, I dropped out of school.

We speak Turkish at home, and I can speak the language. I have a lot of family there – I try to fly to Turkey once a year when I have holidays.

I like the company of men. I’ve never been welcome in those groups, but then I would no more go to a consciousness-raising group and talk about my intimate life with my husband than fly to the moon. I never understood all that.

I fly every single week, sometimes up to four days a week, and I see incredible inconsistencies in TSA throughout our country.

I taught principally German language and literature at Eton. But any master with private pupils must be prepared to teach anything they ask for. That can be as diverse as the early paintings of Salvador Dali or how bumblebees manage to fly.

Let’s say you need a perfectly obedient servant who never gets tired, never needs to be paid, and is virtually indestructible. If you’re in a galaxy a long time ago and far, far away, you’ll just fly off to the local droid auction and pick up one of those shiny gold models with lovely manners.
I’d say I am a fly half. As regards being 12 for England, I’ve not tried to play any different. I guess I’ve been like another 10. Obviously, you do some things differently, and you might not have your hands on the ball as much – but you’re still in the game and constantly communicating.
I love flying and kind of just fascinated with it, and to fly something like an F-22 would be a blast.
The Hollywood actor business can be a little shallow and can be a little more of a facade, and Nashville and the South, people are genuine and real, so if I can be based out there and go off to Hollywood to do a film or do another TV show and then fly back to Nashville, I’d be set.

I fly from the seat of my pants, basically.
If your great-great-grandfather participated on the Confederate side, and you hold some sentimental value to that, and you want to fly the flag and hang their picture up in your home, that’s fine.

When you’re asked to fly a 747 you better at least be able to fly a Piper cub.
I still don’t understand why we need a gigantic airport sprawled across South East England.

I want to entertain my audience. I know when then come and see me play, if I don’t do ‘Swing Town,’ ‘Jet Airliner,’ ‘Take the Money and Run,’ ‘True Fine Love,’ ‘Fly Like an Eagle,’ ‘The Joker,’ blah blah blah – if I don’t do all those songs, they’ll be extremely disappointed. I love to do them.
I wanted to fly when I was little.

You know, songs like ‘Rock’n Me’ were actually written to be played in large… for a hundred thousand people kind of gatherings. And a lot of what came out on ‘Fly Like an Eagle’ and ‘Book of Dreams’ was music that was put together to be played in big, big venues with big light shows.

There are a lot of things I might be good at, such as competitive figure skating, window washing from ten stories up, and being an open heart surgeon.

Most of the writers in TV are from L.A. or New York, and those are places where people are cynical and snarky. And they fly from L.A. to New York in an airplane over this vast, expansive land where people aren’t snarky; they’re a lot more like the ‘Parks and Rec’ characters.

I go to Yosemite a lot. To get there, you fly from L.A. to Fresno and rent a car. So I know about Fresno. It looks like the entire city was built in 1946 in three months – all these low California ranch style homes. The whole city looks like that.

There is a distinct layer between the Earth and the universe, which is extremely black. Slowly, the entire universe starts to look 3D, like you can fly through it rather than this sphere of blackness overhead. And when you’re above the atmosphere, there isn’t water vapour in the air to make things foggy.

My parents always swore that in my childhood they had to let me win at board games. If, by the lucky stroke of the plastic wheel, my father would accidentally beat me at Candy Land, I would fly into fits of bawling that I’m told would last for hours. If I couldn’t triumph, I didn’t want to play.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.

I think it’s nice when you come into the room and the director has a plan, a vision of exactly what he or she wants the piece to be. Because when that happens, then you feel safe. You feel safe to make choices and to do something big and just fly because there’s a structure around you.
I used to fly off the handle in everyday life, but I’m a little calmer now.
The episode of the ‘shoe bomber,’ Richard Reid, has suddenly meant more feet being bared at airports than at the average Hindu temple.

I fly an aeroplane, and I think a lot about how much I do not want ever to run into an optimistic air traffic controller. I just don’t.
