How do you live with evil? Art is traditionally - certainly with my secular background - the answer but art is very self-referential whereas religion claims to go beyond the bounds of human existence.

In science a healthy skepticism is a professional necessity whereas in religion having belief without evidence is regarded as a virtue.

I try to keep it light and positive most of the time whereas earlier on I didn't always do that.

Everyone in L.A. is very positive and upbeat whereas London can get quite miserable at times.

Foods high in bad fats sugar and chemicals are directly linked to many negative emotions whereas whole natural foods rich in nutrients - foods such as fruits vegetables grains and legumes - contribute to greater energy and positive emotions.

Whereas with poetry no one has to show anybody really and you don't have to tell anyone you're doing it.

Poetry always runs away from you - it's very difficult to grasp it and every time you read it depending on your conditions you will have a different grasp of it. Whereas with a novel once you have read it you have grasped it.

People often complain that music is too ambiguous that what they should think when they hear it is so unclear whereas everyone understands words. With me it is exactly the opposite and not only with regard to an entire speech but also with individual words.

There's a constantly applicable nature to soul music whereas sometimes pop music can be a periodical.

From the beginning I knew intuitively that if nothing else music was safe and that nobody could tell me anything about it. Music didn't need a middleman whereas all the other things in school needed some kind of explanation.

Kubrick's vision seemed to be that humans are doomed whereas Clarke's is that humans are moving on to a better stage of evolution.

I love bad movies whereas going to the theater for me is a painful experience. I think it's really hard to sit and watch actors do something live and have it not go well.

When you kill somebody in the movies it matters whereas in literature it can be allegorical.

As far as writing I like watching bad movies. Nothing stops me in my tracks more than watching a great film like 'The Godfather' or 'Dog Day Afternoon' or 'The Graduate.' You watch one of those and you never want to write again. Whereas with bad movies it makes you think If that counts I certainly could write.

Whereas I used to get depressed or neurotic or dwell on things I see my son's bright eyes and smile in the morning and suddenly I don't feel like I'm depressed anymore. There's nothing to be depressed about when you've got that.

You cannot spend money in luxury without doing good to the poor. Nay you do more good to them by spending it in luxury than by giving it for by spending it in luxury you make them exert industry whereas by giving it you keep them idle.

Men think highly of those who rise rapidly in the world whereas nothing rises quicker than dust straw and feathers.

Doctors are just the same as lawyers the only difference is that lawyers merely rob you whereas doctors rob you and kill you too.

I took the fear of marriage from my parents' relationship because I didn't want to end up in a relationship like that whereas my brothers and sisters learnt a lesson from it and made sure they didn't carry it on into their own marriages.

Why in almost all societies have married women specialized in bearing and rearing children and in certain agricultural activities whereas married men have done most of the fighting and market work?

Marriage is an institution fits in perfect harmony with the laws of nature whereas systems of slavery and segregation were designed to brutally oppress people and thereby violated the laws of nature.

In other words knowledge of the external world begins with an immediate utilisation of things whereas knowledge of self is stopped by this purely practical and utilitarian contact.

Men love it. They have a sense of humor whereas a lot of women are threatened or just don't get it.

You can't control the paparazzi. But if you go to Coachella you're going to get photographed. Whereas if you're at home walking down the street you probably won't. It's something I've learnt to navigate my way around but I try to keep my private life private.
