Here's an insight that I've had about success: You can't be successful at everything. We hear a lot of talk about work-life balance. Nonsense. You can't have it all. You can't. So any vision of success has to admit what it's losing out on, where the element of loss is. And I think any wise life will accept, as I say, that there is going to be an element where we're not succeeding.

I think prime numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
