I hope I have helped to raise the profile of science and to show that physics is not a mystery but can be understood by ordinary people.

If I want to understand the laws of physics I have to first believe what I read about physics. I have to have faith in what I read.

I have a funny mental framework when I do physics. I create an imaginary audience in my head to explain things to - it is part of the way I think. For me, teaching and explaining, even to my imaginary audience, is part of the process.

There's something called From 'Alchemy to Quarks,' which will teach you everything you have to know, you want to know, about physics.

I actually studied literature at university, so I'm much more of an arts-based person, but I remember I actually did enjoy physics because you got to do weird experiments. I remember we did this thing with static where we all had to put our hands on this static ball to see that your hair would all stand on end.

I'm fascinated with quantum physics.

I have a problem with telling jokes about physics. Quite often the audience have no idea what you are talking about and, to be honest, I don't know what I'm talking about either.

I've always been fascinated by physics and cosmology. It gets more and more scary the older you get.

Physics has the cutest words.
