“It seems to me that any popular fictional character's appeal is idiosyncratic in nature. Characters with large followings - Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter, the crew of the Starship Enterprise - seem to embody something very particular even as they speak to something within a huge number of people.

“I believe in living life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that, you don't really need to have New Year's resolutions.”
“Innovation accelerates and compounds.”
“It's also very painful, because I feel, and I know, probably all women my age and older feel like we're better and have more to give and are more fun now.”
“The Chinese philosopher Chuang-Tzu stated that true empathy requires listening with the whole being: The hearing that is only in the ears is one thing. The hearing of the understanding is another. But the hearing of the spirit is not limited to any one faculty, to the ear, or to the mind. Hence it demands the emptiness of all the faculties. And when the faculties are empty, then the whole being listens. There is then a direct grasp of what is right there before you that can never be heard with the ear or understood with the mind.”
“The more you say, the less people remember.”
“The first movie I saw - and I don't know if it influenced me - was Ben Hur. We watched it outside in a corn field, and it ran backwards, so the first movie I ever saw was Ben Hur backwards.”
“I pick up other people's trash. I'm sort of obsessed.”
