• I was attracted to the positive outlook on women especially exploring relationships with different people and being confident and comfortable and strong.

But because we live in a Western, patriarchal world, we have very little chance of exploring these gender possibilities.

• The whole point of science is that most of it is uncertain. That's why science is exciting--because we don't know. Science is all about things we don't understand. The public, of course, imagines science is just a set of facts. But it's not. Science is a process of exploring, which is always partial. We explore, and we find out things that we understand. We find out things we thought we understood were wrong. That's how it makes progress.
