Perhaps arising from a fascination with animals, biology seemed the most interesting of sciences to me as a child.

I like animals. I like natural history. The travel bit is not the important bit. The travel bit is what you have to do in order to go and look at animals.

My interest in biology was pretty much always on the philosophical side.

Ever since I was a kid, I've had an enormous interest in the sciences - everything from quantum physics to anthropology.

As a young boy, I was obsessed with endangered species and the extinct species that men killed off. Biology was the subject in school that I was incredibly passionate about.

The more you learn about animals and animal rights - it's an intriguing, fascinating world.

Here I was into astronomy, and here into anthropology, and there I go into geology. It was much more fun to be able to research and write about whatever I wanted to.

I find humans tremendously interesting.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved animals and been fascinated with them.

I love to be a scientist. I've always enjoyed being curious.
