People don't want to hang around someone that you don't know how they're going to react to anything you do or say.

A scientist sounds like a scientist because the things that come out of their mouth don't stumble, that's all. If they [said], "And the, um, a microwave, uh," you know, then you don't sound right, but if you can just get it out without stumbling then you're going to sound fine.

I've travelled a lot, but I am essentially American. All my input has been American.

I don't have anybody telling me what to say. I have people who would suggest, maybe, that I shouldn't do this, that or the other, but that's strictly up to me.

I have four children and nine grandchildren. I'm presently wearing out my second wife.
