Extra dimensional theories are sometimes considered science fiction with equations. I think that's a wrong attitude. I think extra dimensions are with us, they are with us to stay, and they entered physics a long time ago. They are not going to go away.

Unforeseen surprises are the rule in science, not the exception. Remember: Stuff happens.

I was from a poor Jewish family in the South Bronx. My father was a plumber, but when I was 16, he got sick and I had to take over. Being a plumber in the South Bronx wasn't fun.

You have to say now that space is something. Space can vibrate, space can fluctuate, space can be quantum mechanical, but what the devil is it?

The success of ordinary cosmology speaks against the idea that the universe was created in a random fluctuation.

Einstein, in the special theory of relativity, proved that different observers, in different states of motion, see different realities.

Barcelona is a beautiful city. I love the buildings and the architecture and always enjoy being close to that. It makes sense as an art person to work in places like that, it always feels nice and creative.

I have a huge love for architecture.

I don't know if I'll go back into medicine. As much as I love it and went to school for it, my passion has always been in real estate, development, interior design and architecture.

I love architecture, I love buildings, I love history, buildings that have got a story to tell, and we can save the building along the way by turning it into a house. For me, as an architect, there's nothing better than that.

Love the art in yourself and not yourself in the art.

My love of fine art increased - the more of it I saw, the more of it I wanted to see.
