“I've never had any illusions about being a lead actor in films, because lead actors have to be of a certain kind. Apart from the beauty of looks and figure, which I cannot claim to have, there's just a particular kind of ordinary-Joe quality that a film star needs to have.” NeedsLooksKindFilmCertainActorsStarsQualityFiguresParticularOrdinaryIllusionClaimsFilm Stars Author:Stephen Fry
“One thing I've found that's really helpful in our relationship is that she's [Anna Faris] very normal. And I don't mean ordinary - I mean, she doesn't act like a big star or a comic icon or anything like that. She's really down-to-earth and sweet, and we do talk about comedy, about movies, about our careers and possible projects.” MeanBigsEarthFoundStarsCareersComedyOne ThingSweetNormalProjectsOrdinaryComicHelpfulOur RelationshipIconsAnnaDown To Earth Author:Chris Pratt
“Without the instruments and accumulated knowledge of the natural sciences... humans are trapped in a cognitive prison. They are like intelligent fish born in a deep shallowed pool. Wondering and restless, longing to reach out, they think about the world outside. They invent ingenious speculations and myths about the origin of the confining waters, of the sun and the sky and the stars above , and the meaning of their own existence. But they are wrong, always wrong because the world is too remote from ordinary experience to be merely imagined.” ThinkingWorldHumansStarsWaterBornNaturalExistenceWonderSunSkyOrdinaryIntelligentInstrumentsLongingPrisonFishesMythPoolReach OutTrappedSpeculationRestlessCognitiveIngeniousNatural ScienceAlways Wrong Author:E.
