As we get older, things seem less important.

Science is about exploring, and the only way to uncover the secrets of the universe is to go and look.

An explorer of the universe is sexier than a musician.

For me, Woody Allen's 'Manhattan' defines New York. Both New York and Manhattan Island should be in black in white! I always hear the soundtrack of Gershwin in my head every time I go over the Queensboro Bridge, or come in from JFK because of it!

Skepticism must go hand in hand with rationality. When theories are shown to be false, the correct thing to do is to move on.

In science, there are no universal truths, just views of the world that have yet to be shown to be false.

The fact is that Hollywood, from as early as the sixties to the present time, has ghettoized cinema into the big industry, a marketing industry. In doing this, the audiences have lost touch with the aspects of film which were to be informative and educational and even spiritual.
