Mostly, I try to take a rational approach to life.

When I was growing up in Huntsville, Alabama, this is where the space and rocket center was. This is where all of the German rocket scientists came after war and started designing rockets for NASA, for the moon landing and all that.

I think that reality exists and that it's knowable.

It just didn't occur to me, sitting at my computer, that I would end up travelling all over the world.

I'm a very friendly person, and I think that's had a big impact on my work because I tend to be pretty good with not trying to always win every argument and things like that. I just sort of try to bring a lot of people together to talk.

You shouldn't use anything as the sole source for anything, in my view.

I have zero interest in sports of any kind - professional, college or international.
