I really believe people should be paid for the work that they do.

I've always been really curious about things and slightly confused by the world, and I think someone who feels that way is in a good position to be the one asking questions.

I am literally smaller than life. I am an unextraordinary-looking person. I've seen people trying to hide their disappointment when they meet me, and I have to watch them get over it.

Most people I know that have work that is very meaningful to them pay the price of having to work all the time.
