“I have this horrific thing where I'm really bad with names and faces. I have an appalling memory. Someone will come up to me in the street and go, 'Eddie!', and I'll try and give myself time by going into overdrive, 'Hey, hi! Nice to see you!' and start a whole conversation because I can't distinguish between who I know and who I don't.” KnowsGivingTryingI CanWholeFacesNamesMemoriesNiceStreetsConversationCome UpHeyBecause I CanHorrificOverdriveNice To See You Author:Eddie Redmayne

People with a lot of knowledge thrown together in a box that encourages social intercourse and experimentation tend to come up with good ideas, which are the engine of change.

“The question that comes up a lot is, if you had the chance to erase your memory of something specific, what would you erase? And my answer has always been, I wouldn't erase anything, personally. In some ways, I almost wouldn't want to erase anything from the public consciousness, either, for the same reason.” IfsWayWantReasonMemoriesChanceAnswersConsciousnessCome UpOur MemoriesErase Author:Elijah Wood
“There isn't one thing in particular; rather, a lot of different things give me inspiration. I tend to come up with tunes when I do things that are not part of my daily routine, like traveling. But even during my everyday life, I come up with tunes when I'm emotionally moved. By looking at a beautiful picture, scenery, tasting something delicious, scents that bring back memories, happy and sad things... Anything that moves my emotion gives me inspiration.” GivingDifferentInspirationBeautifulMovingMemoriesEmotionOne ThingParticularGive MeMovedEverydayCome UpTunesDifferent ThingsRoutineScentEveryday LifeDeliciousSceneryTastingSad ThingsDaily RoutinesBeautiful Picture Author:Yoko Shimomura
