I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always knew I wanted to make my own way; I never wanted to be dependent on my father.
In parallel with the development of my interests in technical gadgetry I began to acquire a profound love of and respect for the natural world which motivates my scientific thinking to this day.
Life is composed of different inventions. I have continued to work at different things and rebuilt my home all by myself. I did it for the sake of satisfaction at doing something.
If there are things you don't like in the world you grew up in, make your own life different.
Also by my earliest days, I was fascinated by a utopian vision of what the world could be like. I've thought that science could be the basis for a better world, and that's what I've been trying to do all these years.
I invented 'It's a good thing' before you were even born.
I wanted to be a lot of things in my life.
Beginning to create again was something that I took for granted but I never will take it for granted again.
I would not take for granted that my personal life - because I knew better than anybody - that it was just a life. It was surprisingly an ordinary life.
My personal life is invented for me, so why bother?
