You almost wish you could turn off the COMM and just appreciate the deafening quiet.

In the short term, some deadly virus might be more important, but in the long run there is hardly anything more important than asteroids.

So I just let go with one hand, and just sort of swung around, looked at the Earth below and the black space above and the sun over my shoulder. And, I mean, it was this incredible, spectacular view.

We are now able to very slightly and subtly reshape the solar system in order to enhance human survival.

We not only need to train people, we also need to develop deflection technologies.

It would take an extremely large spacecraft to deflect a large asteroid that would be headed directly for the Earth.

We can both prevent asteroid impacts and address climate change. It's not either-or.

Anytime we can save lives or prevent the destruction of property, we should do it.

While we didn't know the dinosaurs personally, we do know that they were wiped out by an asteroid impact.

Journalists often put things into either-or scenarios.

It is not enough to do a desktop exercise of a Beethoven symphony. You need to practice with an orchestra. The musicians need to read the notes. Otherwise it will be a disaster.

P-p-p-please, don’t cast me out

I am happy to continue with my journey through time.

I've never been Romeo who meets a girl and falls for her immediately. It's been a much slower process for me each time I've gone into a relationship.

The problem with doing a schlocky or big budget studio film is that it wouldn't actually be fun for me. It wouldn't be exciting.

Obviously there is a lot more ecstasy in the spirit than in the flesh but the flesh has its moments!

It's important to remember that there are many different types of people, styles of teaching and that we won't agree with all of them.

In Texas, we do not hold high expectations for the [governor's] office; it's mostly been occupied by crooks, dorks and the comatose.

There is a famine in America. Not a famine of food, but of love, of truth, of life.

It has been the best thing that has ever happened in my life.

The destructive character lives from the feeling, not that life is worth living, but that suicide is not worth the trouble.
