My heroes were never scientists. They were Graham Greene and Christopher Isherwood, you know, good writers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I can list on one hand the famous science fiction writers I never met.
Another hero was Tom Swift, in the books. What he stood for, the freedom, the scientific knowledge and being and engineer gave him the ability to invent solutions to problems. He's always been a hero to me. I buy old Tom Swift books now and read them to my own children.
I was a very keen reader of science fiction.
I grew up thinking that a research scientist was a natural thing to be.
All my big heroes are literary, writers.
I happen to be one of those rare actors that actually loves very intelligent and well-acted science fiction.
I teethed on books of heroes such as Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and King David.
I think I was a born scientist.
I greatly enjoy reading the biographies of scientists, and when doing so I always hope to learn the secrets of their success. Alas, those secrets generally remain elusive.
The best scientists that I've met are those that are humanists and scientists at the same time.
