• I'm not very geeky. I'm quite homespun. I would say I'm more modern rustic than gadget-orientated. I like woollen things and log fires and whiskey

• My favorite villain was maybe Batman. I think Vandal Savage is really cool 'cause he has the ability not to die and he's smart, but he doesn't have any gadgets, he doesn't shoot fire and he doesn't fly. He's just old school, and I love that.

• I'm a bit obsessive. I've just bought this Wi-Fi radio, which can pick up 7,500 stations from all over the world. I'm boring my wife to death with it. I've got a thing about technology, so I've got four sat-nav systems and loads of gadgets, including a 100% accurate watch. Any new development and I'm there buying it. My best trait is that I'm happy and optimistic.

• The workplace has become a psychological battlefield and the millennials have the upper hand, because they are tech savvy, with every gadget imaginable almost becoming an extension of their bodies. They multitask, talk, walk, listen and type, and text. And their priorities are simple: they come first.

• Back in the twentieth century, we thought that robots would have taken over by this time, and, in a way, they have. But robots as a race have proved disappointing. Instead of getting to boss around underlings made of steel and plastic with circuitry and blinking lights and tank treads, like Rosie the maid on The Jetsons, we humans have outfitted ourselves with robotic external organs. Our iPods dictate what we listen to next, gadgets in our cars tell us which way to go, and smartphones finish our sentences for us. We have become our own robots.

• El hombre moderno vive aislado en su entorno artificial, no porque lo artificial sea malo en sí, sino por su falta de comprensión de las fuerzas que lo hacen funcionar, de los principios que relacionan sus artilugios con las fuerzas de la naturaleza, con el orden universal. No es la calefacción central lo que hace que su existencia sea "antinatural", sino su negativa a interesarse por los principios que la sustentan. Al depender por completo de la ciencia y cerrar su mente a ella, lleva la vida de un bárbaro urbano.

• We are strangely biased, as individuals and media institutions, to focus on big sudden changes, whether good or bad - amazing breakthroughs, such as a new gadget that gets released, or catastrophic failures, like a plane crash.

• Bueno, tiene un circo mucho más grande con el que jugar, y tiene mucha más financiación disponible, y tiene mucho más tiempo disponible. Creo que eso hace una gran diferencia. Creo que instintivamente sabe cómo hacer películas y todas las diferentes maneras en que se pueden hacer cosas. Es muy hábil con los artilugios y conoce muy bien todas las cosas que están a disposición de un cineasta hoy en día, y las utiliza muy bien. Tiene un cine en su casa, por el amor de Dios. Tiene cortinas adecuadas y todo. Es bastante salvaje.

• Indeed, my wish is quite simple: if we could learn to recognise and evade the biggest errors in our thinking - in our private lives, at work or in government - we might experience a leap in prosperity. We need no extra cunning, no new ideas, no unnecessary gadgets, no frantic hyperactivity - all we need is less irrationality.

• I'm not a real gadgety person. But bottle opener is probably the gadget I can't live without. Actually, I can open a bottle of beer pretty easily without it, but wine is always too much of a pain in the (rear) to open that up. So a corkscrew is probably the gadget that I can't live without.

• America has had the best university system in the world for a long time.

• Yo no diría que el diseño se ha vuelto estrictamente funcional. Hoy en día, muchos coches me parecen auténticos tebeos, y los infogadgets con los que la gente de la industria tardía pasa más tiempo -teléfonos, reproductores de música, etc.- son objetos deformables. - son objetos con forma de burbuja.

• Ideas for gadgets for the disabled were coming into my head so fast they seemed to be arriving from somewhere outside of me, beamed down by an unremitting force. I had little control over them, or their flow. I would wake up in the middle of the night. A blinding flash of an idea would rouse me from my bed and I'd rush down to my workshop to have a go at it before the inspiration dimmed.

• As a child, I'd help my mum cook, and it was ridiculous - she had the correct gadget or utensil for everything. 'Stop! Don't use that, I have exactly the right utensil.' After I left home, I survived on cup-a-meals and never saw myself as being like her. Now I've become her.
