My approach to 'Star Trek' was, 'I know science fiction, and I know screen writing.'

We actually got used to the idea that the future's going to be different.

It's not rocket science: The best ads tell great stories. They look and feel like the content you're already consuming. They invite you in. They make you laugh. They teach you something. They also sell.

I think what a life in science really teaches you is the vastness of our ignorance.

I spent my adult life as a scientist, and science is, essentially, the most successful approach we have to try and understand the vast mysteries around.
