Work with your competitors when the interest of the community and planet are at stake.

I work really hard at trying to see the big picture and not getting stuck in ego. I believe we're all put on this planet for a purpose and we all have a different purpose... When you connect with that love and that compassion that's when everything unfolds.

I think the most important thing people can do to save our planet and the human race is to empower women!

I love Sweden. The entire world should be like Sweden. They all like to drink and get naked and the women are hot. I can't think of a better nation on the planet.

The connections between and among women are the most feared the most problematic and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.

We still live with this unbelievable threat over our heads of nuclear war. I mean are we stupid? Do we think that the nuclear threat has gone that the nuclear destruction of the planet is not imminent? It's a delusion to think it's gone away.

We have no control over the outcome of anything. Like the planet and global warming we don't control that. If politicians want a war we don't control that. Acts of terrorism we can't control them.

War contributes greatly to global warming which shouldn't surprise us. All those bombs going off all those rockets all those planes and helicopters. All that fuel of various kinds being used. It pollutes the air and water of this very fragile and interconnected planet.

Traveling is my form of self-education. Every stream I fish now is not as good as it used to be. Traveling is my form of self-education. Every stream I fish now is not as good as it used to be. If you keep your eyes open as you travel around you realize we are destroying this planet.

I travel Europe every couple of weeks. I just came back from London Holland and Denmark. Every nation on this planet has its issues with race and I am not sure if everyone has figured out how to deal with it.

But today we become aware of other readings of the human experience very quickly because of the media and the speed with which people travel the planet.

By the time I'm 40 interplanetary travel will be common. Nobody will want to talk to me at that age anyway.

Every time I go and shave I assume there's someone else on the planet shaving. So I say 'I'm gonna go shave too.'

Technology is a wonderful tool but also if used incorrectly a horrible tool. We're fascinated by all aspects of it whatever makes our human lives easier on the planet but eventually there will have to be some sort of merger. The fascination isn't going to die down.

I do not think that there is a reputable scientist on this planet who would advocate using this technology to generate a human child as was just announced.

I've always liked Saturn. But I also have some sympathy for Pluto because I heard it's been downgraded from a planet and I think it should remain a planet. Once you've given something planetary status it's kind of mean to take it away.

Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy who are as ignorant of each other's habits thoughts and feelings as if they were dwellers in different zones or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor.

Patriarchy is like the elephant in the room that we don't talk about but how could it not affect the planet radically when it's the superstructure of human society.

Man is the animal that intends to shoot himself out into interplanetary space after having given up on the problem of an efficient way to get himself five miles to work and back each day.

What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?

When I was a kid I loved 'The Curse of Frankenstein ' 'The Creeping Unknown ' 'X: The Unknown.' I love 'Forbidden Planet ' 'The Thing from Another World.' They were science fiction/horror movies generally.

Science Fiction is not just about the future of space ships travelling to other planets it is fiction based on science and I am using science as my basis for my fiction but it's the science of prehistory - palaeontology and archaeology - rather than astronomy or physics.

What has become clear from the science is that we cannot burn all of the fossil fuels without creating a very different planet.

A permanent base on Mars would have a number of advantages beyond being a bonanza for planetary science and geology. If as some evidence suggests exotic micro-organisms have arisen independently of terrestrial life studying them could revolutionise biology medicine and biotechnology.
