I have always been a fan of 'Star Trek.' I love Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future.

I'm a firm believer and always have been that there aren't all that many things that you should not express to children in an age-appropriate manner, and as a parent, that is your job - to be discerning as to whether or not your child can handle the information, provided you have the ability to express yourself in that age-appropriate way.

We can't afford to sacrifice another generation of American children to bureaucratic politics. We've got to get it done. The future, the health, the life - our nation depends on it and it's just foolish to think or act otherwise.

I'm enormously proud of the fact that Star Trek has really not just sparked an interest, but encouraged, a few generations of people to go into the sciences.

We have an amazing advantage right now in that we have developed technology that is so sexy, so engaging for kids.

You can break down anything for a child, and you have to know what your child is ready for and what your child is not.

I'm excited to see how current and future technologies revolutionize the way we learn.
