I'm a school teacher, and later on, well past my formal education, I became very interested in science.

I would like people to appreciate science in the same way they appreciate the arts.

For some years, I've been very interested in the relationship between science and art.

I don't recall any interest in science in particular. It came later in college.

I would say the connection between art and science is very tenuous for me. It's just that I'm interested in both. I don't think that my interest in art affects the kind of science that I do.

When I was in elementary school, I was very interested in science already. I must have been ten or eleven years old. I started experiments with chemistry sets at my home in Mexico. I was able to borrow a bathroom and convert it to a laboratory. My parents supported it. They were pleased. My friends just tolerated it.

I have always loved science, but I have always loved the arts - drawing, painting and, yes, writing - more.

Indeed, I would feel that an appreciation of the arts in a conscious, disciplined way might help one to do science better.

I was always exploring relationships between art and science.

I hated science in high school. Technology? Engineering? Math? Why would I ever need this? Little did I realize that music was also about science, technology, engineering and mathematics, all rolled into one.
