I'm not going to argue with people about the existence of God. I have not the vaguest idea of whether the universe was created by an intelligence.

At 5 years old, I saw 'Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein,' and I was so scared when Costello sat himself down in the lap of the monster, not realizing where he was. My friends teased me. They were older, 8 years old. And my goal was to become a mad scientist and get back at them. And here I am, mad as hell!

Science to me is sufficiently weird and interesting, and stranger than fiction.
