Douglas Hofstadter Zitate

For 13 to be unlucky would require there to be some kind of cosmic intelligence that counts things that humans count and that also makes certain things happen on certain dates or in certain places according to whether the number 13 'is involved' or not (whatever 'is involved' might mean).

Deutsche Übersetzung

Damit 13 unglücklich sein kann, müsste es eine Art kosmischer Intelligenz geben, die die Dinge zählt, die der Mensch zählt, und die bestimmte Dinge an bestimmten Tagen oder an bestimmten Orten passieren lässt, je nachdem, ob es sich bei der Zahl 13 um "oder" handelt ist beteiligt 'könnte bedeuten).

I am a very independent person, and I, you know, I maintain that independence, but, you know, certain things - I mean, it takes, you know, it's just much easier for other people if other people can help you every now and again.

On a very small scale, I kind of understand why the directors that I work with do certain things. I don't consider myself an incredible director. I'm not ready to do movies by any means. But, I feel like I can be a better actress now that I've been on the other side and kind of understand the process and more of the technical aspects of it.

I guess I didn't feel confident enough to be searching in a big public way. I was very content at the time to toil in obscurity on things that I thought might point me in certain directions or teach me certain things - not knowing what that would be.

It was always important to me to be confident and strong with myself. It didn't happen overnight, but I've learned that the only way you can start to control things is if you feel a certain way about yourself.
