I always liked movies, so I started writing for Hollywood, but my day job was physics.

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

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

I was always into science fiction as a kid. I loved science and tinkering with things.

I vowed to myself that when I grew up and became a theoretical physicist, in addition to doing research, I would write books that I would have liked to have read as a child. So whenever I write, I imagine myself, as a youth, reading my books, being thrilled by the incredible advances being made in physics and science.

I've always wanted to write science fiction. It was one of my first loves, and I knew if I became a writer someday I'd probably write something in the science fiction vein, but I hesitated for a long while because it's such well-trod ground.

I began reading science fiction before I was 12 and started writing science fiction around the same time.

We physicists don't like to admit it, but some of us are closet science fiction fans. We hate to admit it because it sounds undignified. But when we were children, that's when we got interested in science, for a lot of us.

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.
