Without a functioning hippocampus, names, dates, and other information falls straight through the mind like a sieve.

Memory is the thing you forget with.

I'm always fascinated by the way memory diffuses fact.

Murderers will try to recall the sequence of events, they will remember exactly what they did just before and just after. But they can never remember the actual moment of killing. This is why they will always leave a clue.

Shooting clay targets is a very cleansing experience. It's very relaxing. It takes a lot of concentration. It's also very social, since you're usually shooting with friends. You can talk and forget about almost anything else that's on your mind.

Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there - I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television.

When you are caught with a big shot, you don't really feel it. It's like being in a car crash, and maybe your arm has been ripped off... it is only when you look down at it that you realise it has happened.

Recalling a memory is not like playing a tape recorder. It's a creative process.

In TV, you don't know everything. The writers only give you scripts before you shoot the episodes. They keep you on your nerve.

Your body has such a memory.
