Jurassic Quotations

I love watching Hollywood movies - I just don't know if I'd be happy doing a 'Jurassic Park.

By the way, it was his simulations that helped out in Jurassic Park - without them, there would have been only a few dinosaurs. Based on his techniques, Industrial Light and Magic could make whole herds of dinosaurs race across the screen.

The only time I have a good hunch the audience is going to be there is when I make the sequel to 'Jurassic Park' or I make another Indiana Jones movie. I know I've got a good shot at getting an audience on opening night. Everything else that is striking out into new territory is a crap shoot.

We're in 'Jurassic Park' territory. If we go to the zoo in the future, we'll have zoos for extinct animals.

The problem with Skye is that the Jurassic rocks are topped by about 20-30 metre thick volcanic rocks, which is very hard, ... So you can't get at the remains. You have to wait for the fossil to fall out of the cliffs.

A lot of people, from seeing (the film) Jurassic Park know what an ostrich dinosaur looked like. This is a case of convergence with the ostrich dinosaur. It evolved more than once.

I guess it's sort of this naive character that I play. I also do a velociraptor, a dinosaur from the Jurassic period. I like writing a good joke. I like being able to use my physical-ness, like facial expressions and stuff to really take home a joke and get it across - especially like in Tiffin.

Almost all of my graduate students say that they got interested in dinosaurs because of 'Jurassic Park.'

There are no black film composers doing the likes of Star Wars, doing the likes of E.T., doing the likes of Jurassic Park. There are none, nor will there ever be one. That ain't about to happen!

It is really pushing the record of tyrannosaurs back into the Jurassic (Period).

Yeah but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they didn't stop to think if they should.

No. I'm simply saying that life, uh, finds a way.

God help us we're in the hands of engineers.

You've never heard of Chaos theory? Non-linear equations? Strange attractors? Ms. Sattler, I refuse to believe you're not familiar with the concept of attraction.

Let's be clear. The planet is not in jeopardy. We are in jeopardy. We haven't got the power to destroy the planet - or to save it. But we might have the power to save ourselves.

Welcome...to Jurassic Park!

God creates dinosaurs, God kills dinosaurs, God creates man, man kills God, man brings back dinosaurs.

They don't have intelligence. They have what I call 'thintelligence.' They see the immediate situation. They think narrowly and they call it 'being focused.' They don't see the surround. They don't see the consequences.

Living systems are never in equilibrium. They are inherently unstable. They may seem stable, but they’re not. Everything is moving and changing. In a sense, everything is on the edge of collapse.

Computer language design is just like a stroll in the park. Jurassic Park, that is.

I don't blame people for their mistakes, but I do ask that they pay for them.

The only movie that I would ever even consider retrofitting is the first 'Jurassic Park,' which I think would look pretty spectacular in 3D. That's the only one of my films that I would consider doing in 3D.

There are companies which are prepared to change the way they work. They realize that nothing can be based on what used to be, that there is a better way. But, 99 percent of companies are not ready, [they are] caught in an industrial Jurassic Park.
