At the end of October 4 in 1957, when I was coming back from sea duty in the South Pacific, Sputnik went up.

The concept of the robot encapsulates both aspects of technology. On one hand it’s cool, it’s fun, it’s healthy, it’s sexy, it’s stylish. On the other hand it’s terrifying, it’s alienating, it’s addictive, and it’s scary. That has been the subject of much science-fiction literature Picture Quote #1

I look for good directors mainly because if you do enough of movies where there’s not a real creative vision behind it, you start to turn into a robot and you want to jump off a bridge Picture Quote #1

I’m insane, I’m emotional, but I’d rather be that than a robot. So that’s definitely something that I wanted to get out there. Especially with Cry Baby’s story, because the album is about Cry Baby but I realized that me and her went through the same change Picture Quote #1

The boys in the office preferred Daft Punk and the song Robot Rock as an anthem, speaking excitedly and without irony about wanting to become robots one day. That made me wonder: Why? What’s the pull of being a robot? Picture Quote #1

In the original ‘Star Wars’ movie, there is a small toaster-sized and shaped robot on the Death Star that guides Stormtroopers to where they need to go. I always liked that robot because I could imagine how to build it - and it served a real purpose Picture Quote #1

If you want a robot to maneuver aggressively, it has to be small. As you scale things down, the ‘moment of inertia’ - the resistance to angular motion - drops dramatically Picture Quote #1

It is far better to have 10,000 Facebook friends who are in the same category or aligned with your values or a common inter- est than 100,000 random robot followers from around the world Picture Quote #1

In L.A., I was meeting people who were all actors. My mind started to open up to what acting was. I didn’t realize that Brad Pitt was a real person. I didn’t think he was a robot or a machine, but I thought you were just born into acting - that it’s a family tree, kind of like NASCAR. No one can just say, ‘Hey, I’m going to be a NASCAR driver.’ Picture Quote #1

Personally, I’m not afraid of a robot uprising. The benefits far outweigh the threats Picture Quote #1

She’s like a Barbie, then she wants to be a superhero, or coming out of a spaceship and everything’s pink. She makes a certain move that’s ghetto hood mixed with a little robot so its like I’m evolving Nicki Minaj and developing her style. She’s fearless, and I love her Picture Quote #1

Me, I have a science fiction writer’s conviction that the damn robot is supposed to speak human, not the other way around Picture Quote #1

As a writer, that moment every few years when I buy a new laptop and find out that all the word processing stuff has slightly changed again (stuff I spend every working day using) is like getting into bed at night and finding some mad robot where you expected your wife to be Picture Quote #1

With regard to robots, in the early days of robots people said, ‘Oh, let’s build a robot’ and what’s the first thought? You make a robot look like a human and do human things. That’s so 1950s. We are so past that Picture Quote #1

When I was fighting, I would look to excite the crowds with a bolo punch or something taunting. Looking back, they were legal - but not sportsmanlike. I don’t recommend another boxer try them. But we looked more to make the robot fights dramatic first and realistic second Picture Quote #1

When I was a kid, I’d wake up extraordinarily early every morning and turn on the television, scanning for episodes of ‘The Jetsons.’ For some reason, I loved the notion of a future where there would be flying cars, supercomputers, and most of all, robot maids to take care of the chores Picture Quote #1

Perhaps future space probes will be plastered in commercial logos, just as Formula One cars are now. Perhaps Robot Wars in space will be a lucrative spectator sport. If humans venture back to the moon, and even beyond, they may carry commercial insignia rather than national flags Picture Quote #1

People give me things at shows-the Robot from Japan. What I would treasure the most is a little doll of the general from the movie-and if they don’t make it, I’ll make my own and bring it to shows and sign it Picture Quote #1
