I remember endless Apple v. Windows debates in the early 90s when I was in college. Macs were better machines, everyone said; the whole Office thing was a huge pain.

I shot all my stuff on ‘Arrested Development’ in one day, and was brought into a really well-oiled machine. ‘Cause it was the last season, and they were wrapping up a lot of stuff because they knew at that point that they weren’t coming back.

People ask me why I don’t paint oils. It takes too long. Cleaning brushes in linseed oil, and it takes six months to really dry, and all this. I don’t have that kind of time. I work with acrylic. It’s water based. You can clean it under water. If you spill it on yourself, you just throw it in the washing machine Picture Quote #1

Possible outfits rolled in her head like a slot machine in Atlantic City Picture Quote #1

One has to watch out for engineers. They begin with the sewing machine and end up with the atomic bomb Picture Quote #1

Century-old records are the closest thing we have to a time machine. To listen to the voice of Theodore Roosevelt or the piano playing of Claude Debussy is to feel the years falling away like autumn leaves from a maple tree Picture Quote #1

I always had all of these childhood fantasies about wanting to invent things, like a spaceship or a time machine.

It’s the perfect movie Picture Quote #1

I don’t bench press, but I use machines to work 10-12 muscle groups. Biceps, triceps, a few things for the back, calves, shoulders and so on - and then I’ll go on the running machine, cross-trainer or mountain climber Picture Quote #1

I would love to have some sort of ‘Back To The Future’ Delorean time machine travel device so I could go back to 1981 to see that very first Jackson 5 concert I went to, back when I was a kid Picture Quote #1

Twiddle-twiddle away at my softly clicky keyboard for a while, making twiddly adjustments all along- and then print what I have twiddled.

Repeat this procedure until I hate the very meaning of every word I know Picture Quote #1

Unless one is planning to go shopping - basically begging to be smothered by the ravening throngs of returners and bargain hunters; an embrace as constricting as that hugging machine designed by autistic author Temple Grandin - then Boxing Day feels like a bar after last call when the lights have been turned up Picture Quote #1

Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns Picture Quote #1
