The mysteriousness and mystique of space is such, that science fiction attempts to tantalize you by telling you a story that could possibly be out there and that's the appeal of science fiction.

I can't tell you where a poem comes from, what it is, or what it is for: nor can any other man. The reason I can't tell you is that the purpose of a poem is to go past telling, to be recognised by burning.

I get so nervous on stage I can't help but talk. I try. I try telling my brain: stop sending words to the mouth. But I get nervous and turn into my grandma. Behind the eyes it's pure fear. I find it difficult to believe I'm going to be able to deliver.
我在台上紧张得说不出话来。我试一试。我试着告诉我的大脑:不要再往嘴里发单词了。但我变得紧张,变成了我的奶奶。在眼睛后面是纯粹的恐惧。我发现很难相信我能做到。
I've realized that although Valentine's Day can be a cheesy money-making stint to most people, it's a day of expressing love across the world. It doesn't have to only be between lovers, but by telling a friend that you care, or even an old person that they are still appreciated.
我意识到,尽管情人节对大多数人来说可能是一种俗气的赚钱方式,但它却是全世界表达爱的日子。这不只是恋人之间的事,你可以告诉朋友你很在乎他们,甚至告诉一个老人他们仍然很感激你。
