The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don’t really even notice it, so it’s part of everyday life.

There are old heads in the world who cannot help me by their example or advice to live worthily and satisfactorily to myself; but I believe that it is in my power to elevate myself this very hour above the common level of my life.

I do all my own stunts. I’m kidding.

Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There’s a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.

It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.

What I’m trying to do is, is to make a significant difference in space flight. And help make space flight accessible to almost anyone.

I don’t need therapy. I’m not going to see a therapist; comedy acts as my therapy. I put my problems out there. I talk about them. I talk about everything before anybody has a chance.

I absolutely want to have a career where you make’em laugh and make’em cry. It’s all theater.

When it comes down to it, glam rock was all very amusing. At the time, it was funny, then a few years later it became sort of serious-looking and a bit foreboding.

You might well remember that nothing can bring you success but yourself.

I love music, and after my first experience with movies, I can’t wait to do more.

I just love working hard. I love being part of a team; I love working toward a common goal.

I think – I don’t know, maybe it’s nostalgia. But the choice, losing the choice to be able to use film is going to be – it’s gone. It’s going to be gone.

One must be an inventor to read well. There is then creative reading as well as creative writing.

My mother had a saying: ‚Kamala, you may be the first to do many things, but make sure you’re not the last.‘

I want to let you in on a little secret: I don’t always feel like I’m a success. That’s right. There are plenty of times when I feel like I’ve just totally messed up and failed to connect with the people I’m trying to communicate with.

Once the automobile appeared you could have predicted that it would destroy as many people as it did.

Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn’t exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible.

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.

First, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?

There’s a lack of people in power that are motivated by the idea of helping people.

An idea that is not dangerous is not worthy of being called an idea at all.

I sell escapism.

I wish I could shut up, but I can’t, and I won’t.

We have soon to have everywhere smoke annihilators, dust absorbers, ozonizers, sterilizers of water, air, food and clothing, and accident preventers on streets, elevated roads and in subways. It will become next to impossible to contract disease germs or get hurt in the city, and country folk will got to town to rest and get well.

The humanists‘ replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you’ll either save yourself or you’ll be immortal. Of course, that’s a total joke, and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there’s no ethical progress whatsoever.

I’m Mickey Mouse. They don’t know who’s inside the suit.

Marriage is a series of desperate arguments people feel passionately about.

No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone’s eyes.

There are very few people who really appreciate my shows. People come to the show and they pay and they enjoy it, but I don’t really think most people really understand what they’ve seen.

There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future.

I guess the toughest things in translations are word play, which can never be reproduced exactly.

For me, it’s enough that I have the first and last word.

We talk about this concept of openness and transparency as the high-level ideal that we’re moving towards at Facebook. The way that we get there is by empowering people to share and connect. The combination of those two things leads the world to become more open.

No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.

I think it’s so important for girls to love themselves and to treat their bodies respectfully.

Yeah, well I think anyone who likes fast cars will love the Tesla. And it has fantastic handling by the way. I mean this car will crush a Porsche on the track, just crush it. So if you like fast cars, you’ll love this car. And then oh, by the way, it happens to be electric and it’s twice the efficiency of a Prius.

We are not going to be satisfied by politicians saying ‚we support you‘ and then walking away. We won’t be satisfied until they meet our demands and act. That’s why simply taking a selfie or posting support on Twitter isn’t enough. That’s why we have to keep striking.

Being politically correct means saying what’s polite rather than what’s accurate. I like to be accurate.

I am grateful to be a woman. I must have done something great in another life.

I had a great time being a salesman because of the pitches that I gave when I was selling shoes. However, I don’t think I’m as well versed in shoes as I am in comedy. Being a salesman was all about being a people person, and I enjoy being around people. I also love talking to people – which is why I think I did so well.

My goal was never to make Facebook cool. I am not a cool person.

I wanted to be a doctor that I might be able to work without having to talk because for years I had been giving myself out in words.

I love women with attitude.

Women have a certain sexuality, and I think their bodies are beautiful, and I’m not embarrassed to explore that in a film. But there are things you get offered that are vulgar and violent – just like there’s a side of me that’s vulgar and violent.

The secret of being a bore… is to tell everything.

I heard that when Christina Aguilera went back to her prom, people, like, booed her. I can’t imagine going through that. If you know that’s going to happen, why put yourself in that situation? I’d rather play for 20,000 screaming people, you know?
