Personal background
"For as long as I can remember, I've been searching for something, some reason why we're here. What are we doing here? Who are we?" "So what's more likely? That a mysterious, all-powerful God created the Universe, and then decided not to leave a single piece of evidence of his existence? Or that He simply doesn´t exist at all, and that we created Him, so that we wouldn't have to feel so small and lonely?" "Funny, I've always believed that the world is what we make of it."

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
"Science fiction. You're right, it's crazy. In fact, it's even worse than that, it's nuts. You wanna hear something really nutty? I heard of a couple guys who wanna build something called an airplane, you know you get people to go in, and fly around like birds, it's ridiculous, right? And what about breaking the sound barrier, or rockets to the moon? Atomic energy, or a mission to Mars? Science fiction, right? Look, all I'm asking is for you to just have the tiniest bit of vision. You know, to just sit back for one minute and look at the big picture. To take a chance on something that just might end up being the most profoundly impactful moment for humanity, for the history... of history."
