I see myself in pop culture. I listen to pop music, I do pop things, and I'm also a scientist.

The last person I ever want working for me is someone who says 'that's not in my job description.

The urge to miniaturize electronics did not exist before the space program. I mean our grandparents had radios that was furniture in the living room. Nobody at the time was saying, 'Gee, I want to carry that in my pocket.' Which is a non-thought.

I bet most of the crowd does not know that there are six moons in the solar system bigger than Pluto.

One should not be too distracted by definitions. Ideas transcend definitions.

Our history, in the cosmos and on planet Earth, was shaped by countless events, some obviously epic, some seemingly trivial, yet all vital in getting us to this point, here and now, the people we are today.

A scientist is just a kid who never grew up.
