I think my dad [ stephen hawking] would have been pleased if i had turned out a scientist because he truly believes that is the most interesting career open to anyone. but he also believes that you have to follow your own path in life and so he certainly wasn't going to push me toward theoretical physics when it didn't look like i was going in that direction naturally.

More From Stephen Hawking

Walking the streets of tokyo with hawking in his wheelchair ... i felt as if i were taking a walk through galilee with jesus christ [as] crowds of japanese silently streamed after us, stretching out their hands to touch hawking's wheelchair. ... the crowds had streamed after einstein [on einstein's visit to japan in 1922] as they streamed after hawking seventy years later. ... they showed exquisite choice in their heroes. ... somehow they understood that einstein and hawking were not just great scientists, but great human beings.

I've been fortunate to have had the life i had prior to hollywood. i wasn't starving, i was going to eat the next day. i came to hollywood wanting a career that had longevity, and i wasn't afraid to take risks because i had a dollar in the bank. i wasn't driven by money as much as i was driven by making a successful transition. and i was smart enough to know that i certainly didn't have all the answers and i needed to surround myself with smart people and be willing to take risks and be willing to fail.

As i started to pursue the subject more deeply i realized that walking was this wonderful meandering path through everything i was already interested in - gender politics, public space and urban life, demonstrations and parades and marches. the relationship between walking and thinking and between the mind and the body.

A marriage was like a house under constant construction, each year seeing the completion of new rooms. a first-year marriage was a cottage; one that had gone on for twenty-seven years was a huge and rambling mansion. there were bound to be crannies and storage spaces, most of them dusty and abandoned, some containing a few unpleasant relics you would just as soon you hadn't found. but that was no biggie. you either threw those relics out or took them to goodwill.
