If you take all the factories in the world today, they could make all the parts necessary to build more factories like themselves. So, in a sense, we have a self-replicating industrial system today, but it would take a tremendous effort to copy what we already have.

Today we have big, crude instruments guided by intelligent surgeons, and we have little, stupid molecules of drugs that get dumped into the body, diffuse around and interfere with things as best they can. At present, medicine is unable to heal anything.

One of the fundamental questions of today's world is undoubtedly the question of equitable globalisation.

Today the fate of humankind is even more crucially linked than ever before. The boundaries between the problems of 'others' and 'our' problems are being increasingly erased.

Today knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement.

Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.

Tomorrow do thy worst, I have lived today.

So I constantly play women who are damaged and out of touch, who are seeking without knowing, or knowing without the skills to transform their lives. But then, that's really the fate of many women today.

Most human beings today waste some 25 to 30 years of their lives before they break through the actual and conventional lies which surround them.

But that's why there are so few women stars today. Pornography has taken away the mystery.

Today's Communism can survive only if it abandons the myth of an infallible party, if it continues to think, and if it becomes democratic.

Today's difference between Russia and the United States is that in Russia everybody takes everybody else for a spy, and in the United States everybody takes everybody else for a criminal.

Today, everything has to be made by committee, and has to have special effects, but there's always room for good films.

Today, if you're not an alcoholic, you're nobody.

People today are still living off the table scraps of the sixties. They are still being passed around - the music and the ideas.

Yesterday's just a memory, tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be.

But by showing us live coverage of every bad thing happening everywhere in the world, cable news makes life seem like it's just an endless string of disasters - when, for most people in most places today, life is fairly good.

Time and again these governments have rejected proposals today - and longed for them tomorrow.

I guess the one question I will not get today is: When are you going to do anything about cellular?

I think today the players are too nice to one another, but that might change with the unbalanced schedule, with teams playing each other more and more. When you face each other that much, with that much at stake, something's bound to happen.
