More From Tom Hooper

When the spirit came to moses, the plagues came upon egypt, and he had power to destroy men's lives; when the spirit came upon elijah, fire came down from heaven; when the spirit came upon gideon, no man could stand before him; and when it came upon joshua, he moved around the city of jericho and the whole city fell into his hands; but when the spirit came upon the son of man, he gave his life; he healed the broken-hearted.

Reading is everything. reading makes me feel like i've accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. reading makes me smarter. reading gives me something to talk about later on. reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real. reading is grist. reading is bliss.

Branson ate his salad, and left the rest of his fish untouched, while grace tucked into his steak and kidney pudding with relish. 'i read a while ago,' he told branson, 'that the french drink more red wine than the english but live longer. the japanese eat more fish than the english but drink less wine and live longer. the germans eat more red meat than the english, and drink more beer and they live longer too. you know the moral of this story?

So you want another story?" uhh... no. we would like to know what really happened." doesn't the telling of something always become a story?" uhh... perhaps in english. in japanese a story would have an element of invention in it. we don't want any invention. we want the 'straight facts,' as you say in english." isn't telling about something--using words, english or japanese--already something of an invention? isn't just looking upon this world already something of an invention?

I always had a sense of people and would talk with them. i talk to my doorman. i talk to everybody i work with. i enjoy it. i like being part of a real life. i love dreams. i love glamour. i love being invited to great places. but i don't really care if i go, as long as i'm invited. i get invited to so many things, but i'd rather go have a hamburger or see a movie.

It is my mission to change the world. i'm not kidding: make no small plans, dream mighty things. i feel if we get enough people engaged in climate change, we will get enough people to change the world. we will revolutionize the way we produce electricity and provide clean water to people.

From the very beginning, the american dream meant proving to all mankind that freedom, justice, human rights and democracy were no utopia but were rather the most realistic policy there is and the most likely to improve the fate of each and every person.

If you have a dream, this is your chance. we don't always have to play it safe because people might think you're weird.
