I think I thought it would be important for electronics as we knew it then, but that was a much simpler business and electronics was mostly radio and television and the first computers.

My own interest developed because I thought it was a fascinating subject and something I wanted to pursue.

Well, the thought that everybody might have a personal computer at their desk or their home was certainly not on the mainstream of anybody's activity at that time.

How absurd men are! They never use the liberties they have, they demand those they do not have. They have freedom of thought, they demand freedom of speech.

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.

My parents thought it was nice to develop my imagination, but they never seriously thought that anything would ever come of it. They said that I couldn't be an actress because I would be taller than all my leading men, so I thought I would be a writer instead.

I was in two episodes playing Christopher Reeve's character's emissary. They wanted to have my character announce Dr Swan's death, which I thought was exploitative.

I had always thought of Chris as my kid brother and watching how this kid, as I still thought of him, had affected so many people's lives around the world was incredible.

They wanted Bridgette to be this extremely enigmatic character. Im about the least enigmatic person on the planet, so I just thought what I did on the show was boring.

I don't know about whether I thought I would make it this big.

If economists could manage to get themselves thought of as humble, competent people on a level with dentists, that would be splendid.

I used to think we were going to win in the '60s. Nixon went out and I thought we won.

I thought they'd get one of us, but Jack, after all he's been through, never worried about it I thought it would be me.

Too often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

I thought I'd definitely be a writer, whatever I did.
