A biography for Graham Moorehasn’t been written yet.
“Space camp was actually, like, the best summer of my life. It was amazing. But I thought I wanted to be a computer programmer, and among computer science folks, Turing is this object of cult-like fascination.”
“The enduring appeal of mystery stories for all of us is that the world is a pretty confusing place. There's a lot of really unanswered things, and perhaps the scariest notion would be that there might not always be answers out there for us.”
“Amazing, really, to think of what a man could achieve with the simple ability to put pen to paper and spin a decent yarn.”
“My mother, she worked in the mayor's office in Chicago when I was growing up and has been in democratic politics for a long time.”
“I was a sound engineer. That was my day job when I started writing.”
“Turing was always a legend among computer/geeky kids. He was such an outsider in his own time, and because of that, he was able to see things differently. It was a story that had been well told in books, onstage and on TV, but never on film.”
“The only way for something human to feel human is to convince others that it is.”
“I had first heard about Alan Turing when I was a teenager. I've known about him since I was a kid, and I always wanted to write about him.”
“If you know someone's secret, what power does that give you? How much power does that really give you? What can you do with secrets?”
“I think everyone practices their Oscars acceptance speech with a shampoo bottle, and I've done my fair share of them. It's really surreal to be able to do it in real life.”
“Alan Turing, to me, always felt like an outsider's outsider.”
“I was not a successful TV comedy writer.”
“I'm always much more interested in flawed heroes than in perfect ones.”
“Depression is internal. The upswings and downswings have pretty much nothing to do with what's going on in the external world. It's not like something sad happens to you and then you feel sad. Good things happen, but you feel sad anyway.”
“I had been a lifelong Alan Turing obsessive. Among incredibly nerdy teenagers, without a lot of friends, Alan Turing was always this luminary figure we'd all look up to.”
“A mystifying sensation of loneliness shook him. Arthur had been alone before, to be sure, but to be alone while surrounded by people, the one sane man in a mad place - that was loneliness.”
