Your car should drive itself. It's amazing to me that we let humans drive cars... It's a bug that cars were invented before computers.

We want to reinvent the phone. What's the killer app? The killer app is making calls! It's amazing how hard it is to make calls on most phones. We want to let you use contacts like never before - sync your iPhone with your PC or mac.

Largely this is a class thing - writers tend to be cosseted little middle-class kiddies who think that the world owes them a royalty cheque. But just doing it - being in your room for years on end locked in your head alone with invented ghosts - it weakens and softens the body. And I know I can't just live in my head.

Californians invented the concept of life-style. This alone warrants their doom.

With 'Twilight ' you have these massive tomes that you have to condense. With 'Penoza ' we had an eight episode Dutch series that just for the pilot alone I condensed three episodes. So there's a lot of filling in and a ton of invention that has to happen to fill out eight episodes.

Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.

Invention is the talent of youth as judgment is of age.

Interest is the spur of the people but glory that of great souls. Invention is the talent of youth and judgment of age.

This is the patent age of new inventions for killing bodies and for saving souls. All propagated with the best intentions.
