More From Georg C. Lichtenberg

Appearances to the mind are of four kinds. things either are what they appear to be; or they neither are, nor appear to be; or they are, and do not appear to be; or they are not, and yet appear to be. rightly to aim in all these cases is the wise man's task.

The difference between ignorant and educated people is that the latter know more facts. but that has nothing to do with whether they are stupid or intelligent. the difference between stupid and intelligent people-and this is true whether or not they are well-educated-is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. they are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations-in fact, they expect them and are apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward.

I really like the director [for weeds]. i don't know if you've spoken to him yet but he's really, really intelligent. he was just really kind when i met him and nice and really told me why i should play the part...and kind of really didn't argue with him. he's just really, really smart and assembled these really great people. i felt like he really knows how to enlist his intelligence to get you - i don't know - he's really hard to argue with i find.

I've always wanted to make a big apocalypse movie. i love 28 weeks later, i think it's great but cell is totally different. it's about people's dependence on technology, the collapse of society and watching everything fall apart. that's something i've always wanted to do, which i believe it can!

I believe that people should write biographies only about people they love, or understand, or both. novels, on the other hand, are often better if they're about people the writer doesn't like very much.

To me, acting is very therapeutic. i get out a lot of anger and frustration. it's maybe hard to believe, but as a kid i really had a lot of self-doubts. my father was very ill - he was an alcoholic - so there were a lot of things that built up for me. and because i was going to a catholic school in a small german town, a lot of it was suppressed. i was angry and didn't know how to get it out.
