Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior but then anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower.

In the aftermath of September 11 and as the 9/11 Commission report so aptly demonstrates it is clear that our intelligence system is not working the way that it should.

We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect. The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.

I don't think that people should wear dresses two sizes too small. I just think that sexiness is better left to the imagination. It's just more tasteful.

You'd have to have one hell of an imagination to completely make up a story but historians are very anal about what they think should be portrayed on screen. Thankfully they don't make movies we do.

Works of imagination should be written in very plain language the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.

A writer should have the precision of a poet and the imagination of a scientist.

Imagination the supreme delight of the immortal and the immature should be limited. In order to enjoy life we should not enjoy it too much.

I failed to fulfill what should have been an interesting role. I couldn't take their formula and bring what I had my humor my ideas and make it my own.

Well the most terrible fear that anybody should have is not war is not a disease not cancer or heart problems or food poisoning - it's a man or a woman without a sense of humor.

I try to bring it across on my record in my dress in what I do and what I say because to me humor is important. You should have a dose of that and I guess giving it is what I'm here for.

When you meet someone new who instantly gets you your sense of humor and your attitudes and your worldview even if theirs are different - and you get them in return. You both talk and talk and agree and laugh and nod and yes yes of course you should get another round of drinks.

I think God gave us senses of humor and we should use them.

Married people should not be quick to hear what is said by either when in ill humor.

I remember when humor was gentle pokes. I used to call it 'arm around the shoulder' humor. Now they go for the jugular and they take no prisoners. It's mean mean stuff.

I really subscribe to that old adage that you should never let the audience get ahead of you for a second. So if the film's abrasive and wrongfoots people then y'know that's great. But I hope it involves an audience.

Fighting a war on terrorism is like fighting against crime. We can never hope to eradicate crime so we shouldn't bother fighting it.
