I'd rather have a kid come up to me and tell me that he loves dinosaurs or he loves airplanes or he likes training dogs or I like Shakespeare. I mean, just something.

I am much less autistic now, compared to when I was young. I remember some behaviors like picking carpet fuzz and watching spinning plates for hours. I didn't want to be touched. I couldn't shut out background noise. I didn't talk until I was about 4 years old. I screamed. I hummed. But as I grew up, I improved.

I'm pure geek, pure logic.

There's no black and white dividing line between a mild Aspergers, which is the mild autism, and computer engineer, for example.

I'm seeing too many geeky, nerdy kids get addicted to video games and they're going nowhere. It's making me crazy.

I feel very strongly that we need to give beef cattle a really good life. When they go to slaughter, it needs to be painless.

I've got a lot of people that are really good at taming animals and working with animals; and they can't explain how they do. They just get a feeling from the animal.
