I've known from long ago that the universe was calling me. If you were one of those annoying adults that said, 'Oh, what are you gonna be when you grow up?' I would say, 'Astrophysicist.' And then they'd walk away real quickly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have been criticized and ridiculed for turning to astrology, but after a while, I reached the point where I didn't care.
I talk to the universe all the time.
There is no limit to what astrophysicists can do. We can be very curious.
I'm a science fiction geek from birth - that's just who I am.
Other times, you're doing some piece of work and suddenly you get feedback that tells you that you have touched something that is very alive in the cosmos.
The humblest person in this world is the astrophysicist. Because we are face to face with our ignorance every single day.
It's like people call me a rock star or this or that. And I go, 'Don't call me that. I don't think of myself in those terms. If you have to call me anything, call me a chameleon.
Whether you want to call it God or the mystery of the cosmos doesn't matter to me.
I certainly saw science as a kind of calling, and one with as much legitimacy as a religious calling.
I was useless at science. I was never going to be an astrophysicist.
