The thing I loved, particularly, was the mystery of science and the idea that science doesn't know all the answers, but it is a process of finding out. It's not like science will give you the right answer and science knows everything. I love the mysteries of it.

I'm not an academic, but I'm someone who has a great passion for science and wants to convey the idea that science is for everyone.

When I was acting, as a hobby, I would devour popular science books and keep up-to-date about what was going on in the science community. And then, suddenly my hobby became my job. I didn't one day say, "I'm not acting. I'm now going to be a science person."

I've always been a bit of a dreamer. I've always loved to look and seek, and explore and find out.

Those people who are scared of science or are a bit dismissive of science tend to not really understand what science really is, which is the most beautiful, most elegant and most creative way of looking at the world.

I've found the thing in life that I adore, which is working in science television. It's just a big adventure, really.

People think of science like somehow that's the answer, and that it's all about right answers, but science is a lens that we look at the world through.
