Physics is all very well, but it is completely cold. I couldn’t carry on with my life if I only had physics. Like everyone else, I need warmth, love and affection. Again, I’m very fortunate, much more fortunate than many people with my disabilities, in receiving a great deal of love and affection.

Music is also very important to me. […] I have to say that the pleasure I have had when everything works out in physics is more intense than I have ever had with music. But things work out like that only a few times in one’s career, whereas one can put on a disc whenever one wants.

Got an opinion? Some insight? Think we couldn't be more wrong?
