I've found the thing in life that I adore, which is working in science television. It's just a big adventure, really.

There is so much wonder and joy in science, about understanding how the world works and why the world is the way it is. It's not just for academics. It is a thing that's available to everyone.

I've never felt scared of flight, ever. It's really weird. I don't know. They stick a gin and tonic in your hands and I just think, "Life is good!"

People think of science like somehow that's the answer, and that it's all about right answers, but science is a lens that we look at the world through.

At the heart of science is experimentation. Science doesn't care what you think. What's important is experimenting and actually working stuff out.

I've always been a bit of a dreamer. I've always loved to look and seek, and explore and find out.

If you go through life and actually get to find out the thing you want to do, you're very lucky.

In my lifetime, the population of the world has doubled.

We've only had aircrafts for a hundred years, and yet look at us. So, I've become absolutely fascinated by this strange, bizarre world of airports, air travel and transportation. It's interesting.

I'd missed science and what it was all about because I was too busy trying to think of other things, when I was at school. I was too busy trying to be James Dean.

I love being in America. I love America. I absolutely adore working in America. I'm at my happiest when I'm in the States.

Everything that happens to you matters to me.

To make life beautiful--every time you think--think about the amazing beauty of life.

We born dyin'...But you ask a man an' he talk like he gonna live forevah.

There is no other force, no other determining factor, no external cause to the cohesive unfolding of your life’s episodes – only your composite inner nature. Change that and you change your life.

And the purpose of our creation, in which all our subsidiary purposes fit, is to be in a personal relationship to God, in communion with him, in love, by choice, the creature before the Creator.

I like Joaquin Phoenix. He's an amazing actor and he's so buff.

As an actor you always wanna protect your character. You wanna make them loveable, likeable. You wanna make them strong, you want them to be the hero, you want them to always be right.

Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society.

I am an observant Jew! Now my secret is out.

Most men remember obligations, but not often to be grateful; the proud are made sour by the remembrance and the vain silent.
