“He did it alone. We had a cast of a million.”

It’s a strange, eerie sensation to fly a lunar landing trajectory not difficult, but somewhat complex and unforgiving.

As I stepped on the moon, I looked around, dazed magnificent. The vast, sandy silver surface was almost illusory.

Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.

I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful.

It doesn’t sound like there was time for the word on moon.

I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don’t intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.

I fully expected that, by the end of the century, we would have achieved substantially more than we actually did.

Opportunities will be available to you that you cannot imagine.

The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet, and our visions go rather further than that, and our opportunities are unlimited.

No matter when you had been to this spot before, a thousand years ago or a hundred thousand years ago, or if you came back to it a million years from now, you would see some different things each time, but the scene would be generally the same.

Research is creating new knowledge.

The single thing which makes any man happiest is the realization that he has worked up to the limits of his ability, his capacity. It’s all the better, of course, if this work has made a contribution to knowledge, or toward moving the human race a little farther forward.

I think if there was anything I learned from our skipper was that it’s not how you look; it’s how you perform.

People love conspiracy theories.

Gliders, sail planes, they’re wonderful flying machines. It’s the closest you can come to being a bird.

So yes, I can absolutely see myself cast as Agent Mom.

The opening-night audience is mostly friends of the cast and backers of the show, and they cometo applaud their money.

My heart is moved by all I cannot save: so much has been destroyed I have to cast my lot with those who age after age, perversely, with no extraordinary power, reconstitute the world.

Only I can’t do them so I ended up on my ass followed by the most unsightly backward roll out of it, followed by the cast falling over in laughter and a good portion of the audience too.

The death of dictator Kim Jong-Il has cast all eyes on North Korea, a country without literature or freedom or truth.

I can’t imagine that I would have been cast in the role, without Jamie Lee giving me a thumbs up.

We are Muslims. My father would pawn off his Muslim in-laws as Hindus just so that he could get free pancakes.

I’ll get cast occasionally as sort of the jerk version of myself, and I have fun doing that. But it’s really better for everyone if I stay behind the camera.
