Orwell wasn't right about where society was in 1984. We haven't turned into that sort of surveillance society. But that may be, at least in small part, because of his book. The notion that ubiquitous surveillance and state manipulation of the media is evil is deeply engrained in us.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Orwell hatte nicht recht, wo sich die Gesellschaft 1984 befand. Wir haben uns nicht in eine solche Überwachungsgesellschaft verwandelt. Aber das kann zumindest zu einem kleinen Teil wegen seines Buches sein. Die Vorstellung, dass allgegenwärtige Überwachung und staatliche Manipulation der Medien böse sind, ist tief in uns verwurzelt.

What we've seen over the last decade is we've seen a departure from the traditional work of the National Security Agency. They've become sort of the national hacking agency, the national surveillance agency. And they've lost sight of the fact that everything they do is supposed to make us more secure as a nation and a society.

A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress, and that stuck in my memory. I did some modeling, and Polanski gave me that small part.

I was once told that I had become too confident and that it made me less likeable. Many successful people will get this at some point, because the people who haven't followed a similar path can be threatened by someone who has and is unabashed about it.

People don't care about what someone says about you in a movie - or even what you say, right? They care about what you build. And if you can make something that makes people's life better, then that's something that's really good.
