One of the reasons I did this because I wasn't really looking for another science fiction film was that my daughter can see it. She's 9 and it's really a good film for all ages.

I think what a life in science really teaches you is the vastness of our ignorance.

I would love to photograph Stephen Hawking. I am just fascinated by science I really am.

I think it's science and physics are just starting to learn from all these experiments. These experiments have been carried out hundreds and hundreds of times in all sorts of ways that no physicist really questions the end point. I think that these experiments are very clearly telling us that consciousness is limitless and the ultimate reality.

In the spirit of science there really is no such thing as a 'failed experiment.' Any test that yields valid data is a valid test.

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.

Fantasy is totally wide open all you really have to do is follow the rules you've set. But if you're writing about science you have to first learn what you're writing about.

I would like to do a science fiction film some day. Star Wars seems really to have destroyed the genre which at one time offered great musical opportunities.

I don't really see science fiction as fiction. I can imagine colonies on Mars and everything.

I did one sci-fi movie. I did 'Gattaca.' I liked 'Gattaca' because that was always the kind of science fiction I really dug the non-action oriented sci-fi.

I love biomedical science I love astronomy and you can't really do much with those in a fantasy setting.

We're losing track of the vastness of the potential for computer science. We really have to revive the beautiful intellectual joy of it as opposed to the business potential.

I have a Ph.D. in cell biology. And that's really manual labor. I mean experimental science you do it with your hands. So it's very different. You're out there in a lab cleaning test tubes and it just wasn't that fascinating.

'Rocket Science' is really where I fell in love with filmmaking I think 'Camp' was incredible but it was so bizarre and I was trying to find my footing in this world where you don't have an audience for immediate validation.

Science was something that really caught my attention. It was something I really could sink my teeth into.

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.

Very few recognize science as the high adventure it really is the wildest of all explorations ever taken by human beings the chance to glimpse things never seen before the shrewdest maneuver for discovering how the world works.

What I like about sceptics is that in good science you need critics that make you think: 'Crumbs have I made a mistake here?' If you don't have that continuously you really are up the creek. The good sceptics have done a good service but some of the mad ones I think have not done anyone any favours.

Everything is fraught with danger. I love technology and I love science. It's just always all in the way you use it. So there's no - you can't really blame anything on the technology. It's just the way people use it and it always has been.

The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.

Whenever anyone says 'theoretically ' they really mean 'not really.'

It's really sad that the kids today can only relate to Beethoven via a rock version of his music.

It's a sad moment really when parents first become a bit frightened of their children.

'A Bug's Life' is a really funny movie and the characters have such different personalities. The movie is happy and then gets really sad and I'm like W'hoa I'm feeling this way and this movie is about bugs!'
