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."

At the heart of science is experimentation. Science doesn't care what you think. What's important is experimenting and actually working stuff out.

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.

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

I was very much the laymen, trying to find stuff out because I'm curious about the world.

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

We've only had aircrafts for a hundred years, and yet look at us. So, I've become absolutely fascinated by this strange, bizarre world of airports, air travel and transportation. It's interesting.
