When life demands more of people than they demand of life - as is ordinarily the case - what results is a resentment of life almost as deep-seated as the fear of death
Tom Robbins
Why shouldn`t we give our teachers a license to obtain software, all software, any software, for nothing? Does anyone demand a licensing fee, each time a child is taught the alphabet?
William Gibson
[Talking about his dressing room demands] Because I`m a spoiled little brat, i absolutely always insist on a table and chair and lighting. This February I`m even going to demand heating.

[On using CGI in Batman Begins] "I think there`s a vague sense out there that movies are becoming more and more unreal, I know I`ve felt it. The demand we put on ourselves was to be as spectacular as possible, but not depend on computer graphics to do it....

I spoke to the Colombians. It`s fine. I get passionate sometimes. I said Colombia because it was the first country to come to mind. The drug problem has as much to do with what`s going on in this country. If there wasn`t a demand, there wouldn`t be a supp...
Bruce Willis
I didn`t have a great knowledge of this genre. The only demand I was putting on the picture was that my paycheck came in and that I had fun making it. It seemed like it would be rather light-hearted. And it was. I`m not a big fan of films that take themse...

With 3 percent of the world`s resources and 25 percent of the world`s demand, it is pretty obvious this country cannot drill its way to energy security.

While consumer demand for high mileage vehicles has grown dramatically in the past few years -- with increasing interest in hybrids -- the best way to build cars that get over 100 mpg is still uncertain. We expect to see some new, exciting technologies de...
