A lot of media that that I want to consume, I don't want to have to own forever and ever. It's not like real estate.

A lot of my time is spent reading antique or out-of-print books of reference.

My type of humor is me not caring whether people know what I'm talking about or not.

Only the nerds will save the earth.

I don't know if you've ever been shoved into the bow of a nutshell pram, a boat that is very easily almost liftable with one hand, and quite tippy, and is being piloted by a 12-year-old, but it is the true feeling of having your life in someone else's hands, and it's very precarious.

We cannot wholly rely, as though it were Medieval times, [on the notion that] the only reality is what we see in front of us. There are germs. There are changes that are happening in our planet's ecology that are happening over such a long period of time that we cannot see the changes.

Truth may be stranger than fiction, goes the old saw, but it is never as strange as lies.
