I was never a boy magnet at school. There was always the girl all the guys liked and wanted to date, but it was never me.

Once I turned 13, I was the guy magnet.

I felt alienated at school, and I never did well with girls.

With my early work I got eviscerated by my male professors, and so you learned to disguise your impulses, as many women have done. And that's definitely changed.

I learned early on how to treat women by the examples that were set around me.

I have always had a talent for irritating women since I was fourteen.

Girls were always my biggest distraction in school.

I've never been anti-women.

For whatever reason, I didn't succumb to the stereotype that science wasn't for girls. I got encouragement from my parents. I never ran into a teacher or a counselor who told me that science was for boys. A lot of my friends did.
