I have no doubt that Brian May would have had a brilliant career in science had he completed his Ph.D. in 1971.

Spectroscopy can probably answer the question, 'Is there anybody out there?' Are we alone?

It's not very fun to do spectroscopy.

If you see, in the spectrum of a planet host star, strange chemical elements, it can be a signal from a civilization which is there.

There are many unidentified bands in the spectra of stars. Wide bands are produced by some complex molecules in the interstellar space.

Let me mention that not all sun-like stars host planets - perhaps about 30% of them are planet-builders. It's not so easy to form a planet!

The one way to discover about aliens is to tune your radio telescope and listen to the signals.

There are no unresourceful people, only those who choose not to care about the results.

Love is the linchpin that connects the material world with higher levels of existence.

An activist is one who is actively involved in creating community, whether that is locally in their neighborhood or internationally. It is an admirable quality.

It wasn't like, 'I'ma lose weight and start doing dramas.' I wanted to be healthier, and that was the impetus for wanting to lose weight - it's just about being healthy and feeling good.

Reading's the only thing that allows you to use your imagination.

I was actually really happy with where my game was at. That's probably the most disappointing aspect.

It was in our power to cause the Arab governments to renounce 'the policy of strength' toward Israel by turning it into a demonstration of weakness.

One ungrateful man injures all who need assistance.

From the very first movie I ever made to the current time, there have been times between action and cut when I've sensed some kind of new dimension that I haven't been familiar with before.

That which a man spits against heaven, shall fall back on his own face.
