“I've always been interested in people who think out of their time, and I have this passion, actually, for science. I'm just so enormously interested in how, when you think of these revolutionary ideas, other people get threatened, especially if you are different.”

“I'm always interested in talented or odd people, and my whole life I've written about geniuses who society has treated badly and they strike back - or not.”

“All great characters, great icons, in literature are a bit of a riddle, and that's the reason we go back to them over and over.”

“The beautiful thing is I have sort of grown up. I don't care if I'm highbrow or not anymore.”

“All I wanted to do was to follow my passion and tell a good story.”

“The capacity of computers is doubling every eight months. It's exponential development. I think it's a real threat, actually, that a computer one day will be more intelligent than us.”

“Many concepts and ideas become laws in time, like the laws of physics. In time, many of these same concepts lose validity in favor of new concepts that become new laws. These phenomena lead to the progress of science; otherwise, some concepts, which were previously laws, would always stay the same regardless of whether they were correct.”

“Violence is a social and political problem, not just a biological and psychological one. Nonetheless, the phenomena we call ‘social’ and ‘political’ are not external happenings that mysteriously affect human affairs… they are shared understandings among individuals at a given time and place.”
