They've also asked me now to start on another series that we're gonna do after this Frontier Earth. But it's not science fiction it's more in the Mystery and Crime division and that's another area I'm very interested in.
I think there is a tendency in science to measure what is measurable and to decide that what you cannot measure must be uninteresting.
I was on the football team because I wanted to experience the different iconic social classes of high school. So football for me was an attempt to socially integrate in an interesting way. And then I didn't like it anymore and stopped doing it and focused more on drama and science and other forms of art and music.
It was generally believed that Catholics were not interested in arts and science graduate schools. They weren't going to be intellectuals. And so I put the theses to the test. And they all collapsed.
A person that much interested in science is going to neglect his social life somewhat but not completely because that isn't healthy either. So one has to work it out according to one's own inclinations how one wants to proportion these things.
The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But I've had to learn a little bit about it. It's not rocket science: You get ratings that's good.
There's a lot of interesting words nomenclatures in science.
I think it was this curiosity about the natural world which awoke my early interest in science.
I didn't invent forensic science and medicine. I just was one of the first people to recognize how interesting it is.
So fantasy was fine early on and when I discovered science fiction I was very happy with it because my first interest in science fiction came with an interest in astronomy.
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.
In science we must be interested in things not in persons.
Film-makers are always going to be interested in making movies that plug into society around them. That's what a vibrant artistically alert community should be doing. After all it would be sad if we only made films about alien robots.
I look at my people and I look at those who control them - the political elite. And the sad thing is that the elites are just not interested in the welfare of the people.
You will soon find that I am a bit obsessive about my work. And that is a little sad one often feels strangely restricted not finding time to simmer although one actually has many interests.
For decades Japan has been a friend and reliable trading partner with the United States and I anticipate that relationship will prosper.
