I was a huge Mike Tyson fan growing up; his fights were always on in my house.

I struggled with being a broke college graduate, and while all my friends were getting career jobs, I was working horrible part-time jobs. That's why now, even when I get tired, I think, 'This is what I asked for.'

When I was in college my girl got me a job at the doctor's office she was working at. I was a file clerk. No disrespect but I don't think a man can do that job. It takes so much meticulous and precise file-keeping.

As much as it might look like, to someone else, that I'm successful, I never feel like I'm anywhere. The further I go, I still feel equally further from my eventual goal. Because as I grow, I get more goals. I'm never content.

A powerful attraction exists, therefore, to the promotion of a study and of duties of all others engrossing the time most completely, and which is less benefited than most others by any acquaintance with science.

I'm very into science-fantasy, that kind of swordfights and magic and technology thing.

People come up to me all the time in New York. Not for autographs, but to talk about movies, often in a very scientific way.

Science fiction has always had a dark side. There has been a touch of the irrational and absurd in the genre from the very beginning.
