"I don't want to go to work and get into bed with someone else, not even Tom Cruise. It's not like I enjoy it."

"I've always been a huge fan of Julia Roberts. Without her what would the world be like?"

"Sometimes I enjoy talking, but when it's like people are trying to find something out about me, I don't."

"I've banged my head quite a bit. I liked Iron Maiden, Ozzy, AC/DC. And of course, Ratt and Poison."

"What drives me is what I'm putting out into the world, and I like to make films that people can connect to, or they can escape in."

"Whenever I gaze up at the moon, I feel like I'm on a time machine. I am back to that precious pinpoint of time, standing on the foreboding - yet beautiful - Sea of Tranquility. I could see our shining blue planet Earth poised in the darkness of space."

"I think humans will reach Mars, and I would like to see it happen in my lifetime."

"When I was grounded, I wouldn't be allowed to go on set. That's how much I loved it."

Unconscious means identified totally with thought. You reduce reality to a conceptual reality.

“No other writer tells a story so well and with so much profound philosophy as Haruki Murakami does!”

“She was a quiet little creature living deep in the woods, with pale wings like the shadow of a spirit.”

“Intelligent teenage girls were often instinctively theatrical, purposely eccentric, mouthing highly suggestive words to confuse people.”

“The scene seemed somehow divorced from reality, although reality, he knew, could at times be terribly unreal.”

“Closing your eyes isn’t going to change anything. Nothing’s going to disappear just because you can’t see what’s going on…. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes.”

“I understood for the first time that I didn't understand what I thought I understood”

“Everything is there but there are no parts. Since there are no parts there's no need to replace one thing with another. No need to remove anything or add anything. You don't have to think about difficult things just let yourself soak it all in. For Nakata nothing could be better.”

“Once you’re lost, you panic. You’re in total despair, not knowing what to do. I hate it when that happens. Sex can be a real pain that way, ‘cause when you get in the mood all you can think about is what’s right under your nose - that’s sex, all right.”

“Where the road sloped upward beyond the trees, I sat and looked toward the building where Naoko lived. It was easy to tell which room was hers. All I had to do was find the one window toward the back where a faint light trembled. I focused on that point of light for a long, long time. It made me think of something like the final throb of a soul's dying embers. I wanted to cup my hands over what was left and keep it alive. I went on watching the way Jay Gatsby watched that tiny light on the opposite shore night after night.”

Revenge is a caustic thing. I say, Breathe in, breathe deeply, let it go.

A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.

A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.

I'd like to be the last person alive in the world! Yes, I'd like to know what happens.
