In the real world, children love me.
When I became my masked identity I was this incredible little nerd, but in the real world I had to be this tough kid from the neighborhood.
Science fiction is essentially a kind of fiction in which people learn more about how to live in the real world, visiting imaginary worlds unlike our own in order to investigate, by way of pleasurable thought-experiments, how things might be done differently.
I don't want at the end of my life to look back at just a bunch of fictional movies I was involved in that kept taking me away from the real world.
In the real world in which we live, it's a dangerous world. And you know the old saying is that we have to be right 100 percent of the time; the terrorists only have to be right once.
I don't like games. You're robbing the precious time of children to be children. They need to be in touch with the real world more.
Life would be very dreary if there were no magic. If the real world were only that veil of tears, I just don't think could get up in the morning.
I want to continually find ways to bring my ideas off the stage and into the real world, into the streets. I think I can make the world a better place, if only for a little while.
If we are ever to cross the 100-nano barrier in electronics, we need to develop nano structures that let electrons move through, as they do through wires and semiconductors. And these structures must survive in the real world of air, water, boiling temperatures.
The virtual world can never be a substitute for real world experience. And the more it takes over our lives, the more we forget to feel the sun on our skin, the more we forget that there is an entire universe to be discovered even during a 10 minute walk to work.
When you start to doubt yourself the real world will eat you alive.
Long ago, I became more interested in the real world than in make-believe.
