The most creative people are motivated by the grandest of problems that are presented before them.

Not enough people in this world, I think, carry a cosmic perspective with them. It could be life-changing.

The most creative people have this childlike facility to play.

One of the things that fascinates me most is when people are so charmed by the universe that it becomes part of their artistic output.

Most religious people in America fully embrace science. So the argument that religion has some issue with science applies to a small fraction of those who declare that they are religious. They just happen to be a very vocal fraction, so you got the impression that there are more of them than there actually is.

Like most creative people I don't fit well into boxes.
