Chess is a contest between two men which lends itself particularly to the conflicts surrounding aggression.

Chess is a unique battlefield for human minds and computers - human intuition, our creativity, fantasy, our logic, versus the brute force of calculation and a very small portion of accumulated knowledge infused by other human beings.

I wouldn't want a director who imposes conceits or distrusts the text or who has prejudged the characters.

Chris Hemsworth is like Christopher Reeve in that he can do two things: he can wear a big red cape without a shred of self-consciousness. But he's also funny as hell, and he's so sweet. So with all the fish-out-of-water stuff, he's so funny. So he does almost two jobs in a way.

Firstly, the price, which was slightly higher, and secondly, the nutritional content, which was roughly equivalent to that of a Sony Walkman.

Classical music and pop are two different universes, each with its own difficulties, peculiarities, depth and artistic dignity.
