I do not believe in a personal God.

When I get to heaven I'm gonna find the guy in charge of the weather and kick his rear.

Obviously, because of my disability, I need assistance. But I have always tried to overcome the limitations of my condition and lead as full a life as possible. I have traveled the world, from the Antarctic to zero gravity.

We won't know for a few years.

Science does not deny religion, it just offers a simpler alternative.

Thirty years ago I was diagnosed with motor neurone disease, and given two and a half years to live. I have always wondered how they could be so precise about the half.

Simplicity is a matter of taste
