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

I wasn't naturally a scientist, but I was always fascinated by how the world worked and why things were the way they were.

I love being in America. I love America. I absolutely adore working in America. I'm at my happiest when I'm in the States.

You don't have to be musician to listen to music, and you don't have to be a filmmaker to go to the cinema, but somehow when we think of science, we think of it only as an academic discipline.

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."

If you go through life and actually get to find out the thing you want to do, you're very lucky.

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.
