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.

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

Newton had a very good description of gravity, back in the day, and then Einstein came along and dug a little bit deeper. Science is like peeling an onion. You go deeper and deeper and deeper, and it doesn't stop. It's not like you will get to a right answer.

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 was awful at science at school, as a subject, because I didn't have the discipline. But, I was awful at music, as well, and I loved music.

I'd missed science and what it was all about because I was too busy trying to think of other things, when I was at school. I was too busy trying to be James Dean.
