“My idea of that[idea of career] is constantly changing. I mostly just throw it out to the universe and I can't really do much after that.

“I still don't like the word agnostic. It's too fancy. I'm simply not a believer. But, as simple as this notion is, it confuses some people. Someone wrote a Wikipedia entry about me, identifying me as an atheist because I'd said in a book I wrote that I wasn't a believer.

This gets us back to that most pressing of human questions: why do people worry so much about other people's holding beliefs other than their own?”
