In some cases inventions prohibit innovation because we're so caught up in playing with the technology we forget about the fact that it was supposed to be important.
The great thing that guys like Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and the Google guys have in common is they treat their technology like it's art and I suppose in the hands of virtuosos like them it is.
We have more media than ever and more technology in our lives. It's supposed to help us communicate but it has the opposite effect of isolating us.
I've always been too hard on myself to behave like I've arrived or even to enjoy whatever success I've had. I've always envisioned myself higher than where I was and I still do. With each success I think 'That's nice but I'm supposed to go there!'
I suppose your security is your success and your key to success is your fine palate.
On set is where I feel comfortable. The red carpet stuff talking about the film explaining your own life it doesn't come naturally. It's all necessary stuff I suppose but it's not my strength.
Strength is one of those things you're supposed to have. You don't feel that you have it at the time you're going through it.
I love sport I grew up playing sports that's all I did and it is so invigorating now that I'm supposedly adult to learn something completely new from the bottom up.
The British are supposed to be particularly averse to intellectuals a prejudice closely bound up with their dislike of foreigners. Indeed one important source of this Anglo-Saxon distaste for highbrows and eggheads was the French revolution which was seen as an attempt to reconstruct society on the basis of abstract rational principles.
All of us in society are supposed to believe that cruelty to animals is wrong and that it is a good thing to prevent needless suffering. So if that is true how can meat be acceptable under any but the most extraordinary circumstances such as perhaps roasting the bird who died flying into a window?
I suppose that is my central obsession. What we owe to society what we owe to ourselves.
The fidelity question is difficult for me. Society has made us believe we're supposed to be monogamous when we're not killer whales or whatever the monogamous species is.
A system that was originally designed to support the poorest in society is now trapping them in the very condition it was supposed to alleviate.
I suppose society is wonderfully delightful. To be in it is merely a bore. But to be out of it is simply a tragedy.
In science 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms.
We try to... we are I suppose to a certain extent all affected and erm that is both funny and sad I think.
The sad thing about any business I suppose but in mine you see it particularly is that you're always asked to do what you've already done.
I would not know how I am supposed to feel about many stories if not for the fact that the TV news personalities make sad faces for sad stories and happy faces for happy stories.
If I were sufficiently romantic I suppose I'd have killed myself long ago just to make people talk about me. I haven't even got the conviction to make a successful drunkard.
Is Valentine's Day a day to make cupcakes with your children? No Valentine's is supposed to be a day about romantic love.
Romance is thinking about your significant other when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.
I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do - play it right and with respect.
In this respect I suppose I'm the total opposite of Garry. With his very emotive body language at the board he shows and displays all his emotions. I don't.
Religion was used as an ideology as a system of control. When they forced the veil upon women they were using it as an instrument of control in the same way that in Mao's China people were wearing Mao jackets and women were not supposed to wear any makeup.
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
