"He was clearly one of the greatest and most original thinkers. You’ll feel like you are reading brand new thoughts; it’s very funny in places, it seems effortless in its cleverness, but it isn’t showy at all. Very readable and intimate."

"Breathtakingly original, consistently sinister and utterly compelling. For once, a story of alien arrival (and then fast departure) with no explanation, and no sense that they/it thought humanity was worth a damn. They just came, and left their garbage. Maybe."

"I just love Woody Allen movies, so much. Annie Hall is also the first movie poster I owned — and it’s an original; I feel so happy to have it. I would love to work with Woody Allen. I would love to."

"I cringe whenever I think of Pat Morita grabbing a fly with chopsticks. Toshiro Mifune’s original display of this technique is what film characterization is all about. His remarkable portrayal of Musashi Miyamoto grows in richness and complexity with each episode."

"Biographies are the original self-help guides. It's like a life blow-by-blow by someone you admire. In this case this book was not only a great, inspiring read, it was my how to live a big life instruction manual."

"My number one favorite film was the first film I ever saw — I was six-years-old before I ever went to the movies — and that film is the original King Kong. It’s still, I think, the best King Kong."
