Famous quotes by Jonathan Miller:

"It is only right that we help provide financial security for the families of those brave men and women who are providing for our nation's security, ... That's what the Military Families' Bill of Rights is all about."

"The foyer at Covent Garden looks like Harrods food hall has offered up its dead"

"Errors of taste are very often the outward sign of a deep fault of sensibility."

"Since finding out what something is, is largely a matter of discovering what it is like, the most impressive contribution to the growth of intelligibility has been made by the application of suggestive metaphors"

"Being a doctor has taught me a lot about directing. You're doing the same thing: You're reconstructing the manifold of behavior to the point where an audience says, yes, that's exactly like people I know."

"Humor is vague, runaway stuff that hisses around the fissures and crevices of the mind, like some sort of loose physic gas"

"Falling ill is not something that happens to us, it is a choice we make as a result of things happening to us"

"I'm not really a Jew; just Jew-ish, not the whole hog."

"What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That's what their substance is."

"I wasn't driven into medicine by a social conscience but by rampant curiosity."

"What people want is not what some would call imaginative and often austere productions but very lavish productions which cast back into the auditorium an image of their affluence."

"The thing about science is that it's an accurate picture of the world."

"Someone like Einstein was quite clearly a moralist, and he had a very highly developed political vision and was very spiritual in his way, and there are many biologists and physicists of the first order who are like that."

"I was trained as a neurologist, and then I went into the theater, and if you're brought up to think of yourself as a biological scientist of some sort, pretty well everything else seems frivolous by comparison."

"As we know from the work of certain fundamental physicists, people like Einstein were very dependent upon conjuring up visual images in order to imagine things which otherwise were not easily formulated."

"I'm not against asking the audience to work, but I think what you have now is a sort of gratuitous deconstruction as a result of a fashion of literary deconstructionism indicating that there are no meanings."

"I became startled by the extraordinary difference between something whose surface is completely invisible which only makes itself present by virtue of what it reflects, and a window, which doesn't make itself apparent at all, in the ideal case."

"Argumentative exhibitions bring issues to life in a way that very much irritates traditional curators who want to see their pictures valued for themselves."

"You spend ten years of your life being trained to do one thing, and you're being taught to think that it's the most serious thing that anyone could possibly do, and then suddenly you find yourself doing something that in some respects is the epitome of frivolity."

"I spend a lot of my time trying to draw the attention of actors to the minute and subtle details of human behavior, which was the sort of thing I was looking at when I was a neurologist."
