My wife could turn to me and she may say, 'Why do you love me?' And I can with all honesty look her in the eye and say, 'Because our pheromones matched our olfactory receptors.'

Science is very cross-generational; you're not just aiming it at twentysomethings, or eightysomethings. Every town's got a really broad selection of people and age groups interested in science.

I have a theory that evolutionary biologists are more vain than particle physicists.

We very quickly forget about the wonderful things we've got. People lose their excitement because there's too much. Basically we're experiencing nothing, because everything is available to us.

I want to create shows which are interesting. I hope that some people are excited by some of the ideas.

I have spent a reasonable percentage of my life in libraries - I like the hush.
