When I was a kid, I figured I would be a physicist when I grew up, and then I would write science fiction on the side. The physicist thing didn't pan out, but writing science fiction on the side did.

I was going to engineering school but fell in love with physics.

I was always good at math and science and physics.

While I was in high school, I discovered and began writing science fiction.

I chose to pursue a career in physics because there the truth isn't so easily bent.

I grew up obsessed with science fiction, and when I was really young, I wanted to be a scientist.

I always wanted to be a scientist. I don't really have any writer friends.

I have always loved science, but I have always loved the arts - drawing, painting and, yes, writing - more.

I actually love physics, but art is where I thought I could make a difference for my country.
