Science

Id love to do a movie where the monster is human, where the issue is not otherworldly, or horror or science fiction. – J. J. Abrams

I very much enjoyed my career in science. I didnt leave science because I was disillusioned, but felt Id done my bit for it after about twenty-five years. – John Polkinghorne

And by the way, I wanted to point out that Kindred is not science fiction. Youll note theres no science in it. Its a kind of grim fantasy. – Octavia Butler

What Im working on now – Im back to fantasy, although considering that its me, Im turning it into a kind of science fantasy. Its a vampire story – but my vampires are biological vampires. They didnt become vampires because someone bit them they were born that way. – Octavia Butler

Ive always seen the world through the eyes of a scientist. I love the predictable outcomes that science gives us, the control over the world that that can render. – Barbara Kingsolver

It is not so for art in appreciation because art is concerned with human behavior. And science is concerned with the behavior of metal or energy. It depends on what the fashion is. Now today its energy. Its the same soul behind it. The same soul, you see. – Josef Albers

Ive loved science fiction ever since I was a little kid, mainly from looking at the covers of science-fiction magazines and books, and Ive read quite extensively as an adult. – Matt Groening

Rocket Science is really where I fell in love with filmmaking, I think Camp was incredible, but it was so bizarre, and I was trying to find my footing in this world where you dont have an audience for immediate validation. – Anna Kendrick

Growing up in the 70s and 80s, science fiction and especially fantasy had such a stigma attached to them. I felt so punished and exiled for being devoted to these things. – Lev Grossman

Experimental science is fascinating, but I dont want to do it. I want other people to do it, and Ill read about it. – Barbara Ehrenreich

I have a Ph.D. in cell biology. And thats really manual labor. I mean, experimental science, you do it with your hands. So its very different. Youre out there in a lab, cleaning test tubes, and it just wasnt that fascinating. – Barbara Ehrenreich

Ive got a full plate, yes I do. That iPod, thats nice. A phone recorder? Nicely done. All right Im a bit of a tech geek. I have a subscription to Popular Science and I keep up on all this stuff. – Nathan Fillion

Whats different here is that we have now technologies that allow these life science companies to bypass classical breeding. Thats what makes it both powerful and exciting. – Jeremy Rifkin

Were losing track of the vastness of the potential for computer science. We really have to revive the beautiful intellectual joy of it, as opposed to the business potential. – Jaron Lanier

Ive always felt that the human-centered approach to computer science leads to more interesting, more exotic, more wild, and more heroic adventures than the machine-supremacy approach, where information is the highest goal. – Jaron Lanier

I love biomedical science, I love astronomy, and you cant really do much with those in a fantasy setting. – Elizabeth Moon

I did one sci-fi movie. I did Gattaca. I liked Gattaca because that was always the kind of science fiction I really dug, the non-action oriented sci-fi. – Ethan Hawke

Weve heard from many teachers that they used episodes of Star Trek and concepts of Star Trek in their science classrooms in order to engage the students. – Patrick Stewart

I dont really see science fiction as fiction. I can imagine colonies on Mars and everything. – Sigourney Weaver

I like science fiction and physics, things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes, and the various vortexes that create possibility, and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me its the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man, and thats why Im attracted to it. – Wesley Snipes
