No one was going to stop me from writing and no one had to really guide me towards science fiction. It was natural really that I would take that interest.

Science fiction was never my thing. I have no interest in it.

I've always felt that the human-centered approach to computer science leads to more interesting more exotic more wild and more heroic adventures than the machine-supremacy approach where information is the highest goal.

Learn about the world the way it works any kind of science and anthropology it's really an interesting place we live in. Evolution is a really fantastic idea even more than the idea of God I think.

If I can get some student interested in science if I can show members of the general public what's going on up there in the space program then my job's been done.

I didn't mind studying. Obviously math and the physical science subjects interested me more than some of the more artistic subjects but I think I was a pretty good student.

The artist does not illustrate science (but) he frequently responds to the same interests that a scientist does.

I was always very interested in science and I knew that for me science was a better long-term career than tennis.

I liked math - that was my favorite subject - and I was very interested in astronomy and in physical science.

It cannot be said often enough that science fiction as a genre is incredibly educational - and I'm speaking the written science fiction not 'Star Trek.' Science fiction writers tend to fill their books if they're clever with little bits of interesting stuff and real stuff.
