I look back upon my Liberal political beliefs with a sort of wonder - as another exercise in self-involvement - rewarding myself for some superiority I could not logically describe Picture Quote #1

Magic has universal appeal. I don’t believe in magic in the way that I describe in my books, but I’d love it to be real Picture Quote #1

Friends With Benefits’: it feels like a two-hander to me, but it is a big movie, and this is the first straightforward male I’ve been able to play. I would describe my character in ‘The Social Network’ as a kind of sociopath. I would describe my character in ‘Bad Teacher’ as... just a weirdo. But this is a male’s male Picture Quote #1

Contemporary art for me is a kind of historical term that describes the 40 years between the Berlin Wall going up and then coming down. I’m not sure who will come up with a better term to describe art, but I think contemporary art is actually done for Picture Quote #1

Your relationship with God, others, yourself, and all creation keeps changing for the better. Most of the world’s religions have developed maps to describe this process Picture Quote #1

This was the reason there was music, he realized. There were some feelings that didn’t have words big enough to describe them Picture Quote #1

Dating meant nightclubs, heels, and black. It meant, No, thank you. Really, I’m full. It meant matching bras and underwear. Clothes with the word MICRO used to describe them Picture Quote #1

I’d describe my look as girly-edgy. I like black nail polish and eyeliner, but I’ll wear them with pink shoes Picture Quote #1

Describe snow to someone who’s lived in the desert. Depict the colour blue for a blind man. Almost impossible to fashion the word Picture Quote #1

I went to Istanbul. I spoke to blind people, most of whom had lost their sight suddenly. I asked them to describe the last thing they saw Picture Quote #1

You have a political and media elite who have an idiom by which they describe politics. It’s highly, highly polarised. It’s right, left, red, blue, up, down, victorious, crushed Picture Quote #1

If I describe a person’s physical appearance in my writing, which I often do, especially in fiction, I never say someone is black or white. I may describe the color of their skin - black eyes, beige skin, blue eyes, dark skin, etc. But I’m not talking about race Picture Quote #1

The best critics do not worry about what the author might think. That would be like a detective worrying about what a suspect might think. Instead, they treat the reader as an intelligent friend, and describe the book as honestly, and as entertainingly, as possible Picture Quote #1

I was 13 years old at music school talking to my teacher. I can’t quite remember what it was I was trying to describe, but I do remember my music teacher saying to me, ‘Do you have synesthesia?’ In hindsight, it seems a little presumptuous of her to think a little boy in Essex would know what synesthesia was Picture Quote #1

When I ask my medical students to describe their image of a woman who elects to birth with a midwife rather than with an obstetrician, they generally describe a woman who wears long cotton skirts, braids her hair, eats only organic vegan food, does yoga, and maybe drives a VW microbus Picture Quote #1

When I was at Berkeley, the framework of quantum field theory could calculate the dynamics of electromagnetism. It could roughly describe the motion of the weak nuclear force, radiation. But it hit a brick wall with the strong interaction, the binding force Picture Quote #1

If ants had a language they would, no doubt, call their anthill an artifact and describe the brick wall in its neighborhood as a natural object. Nature in fact would be for them all that was not ‘ant-made’ Picture Quote #1
