Surfing is simply the most fun I know how to have on this planet.

I think the universe is pure geometry - basically, a beautiful shape twisting around and dancing over space-time.

The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works. And it tells us our reality is continually branching into different possibilities, just like a coral.

You cannot think when you're ecstatic.

Everything that can happen, does. That's quantum mechanics. But this does not mean everything happens. The rest of physics is about describing what can happen and what can't.

There are a lot of good things about string theory, and it's great that some people want to work on it.

Yeah, I am a guy working on physics outside of academia. But I'm nowhere near Einstein's caliber.

Math does come easily to me, but I was always much more interested in what theorems imply about the world than in proving them.

Science is our last and greatest frontier.

Ninety-five per cent of my time is virtually wasted.

Coral is a very beautiful and unusual animal. Each coral head consists of thousand of individual polyps. These polyps are continually budding and branching into genetically identical neighbors.

I worked with him for years. I still think Kanye [West] is one of the most important people in music in the last ten years.

Before enlightenment, I used to be depressed; after enlightenment, I continue to be depressed.

You need to play with supreme confidence, or else you'll lose again, and then losing becomes a habit.

I have way too many songs that have music but don't have lyrics.

Adultery is extravagance.

It’s the method of consumption, not what’s on the plate.

I'm not nearly young enough to know everything

Our basic fundamental desires are overly stimulated. A friend of mine said, "you have a generation of people that have been accidentally marketed to."

The body is the garden of the soul.
