One thing I am certain of is that, if I have done anything good in music, it was, first, because of my father, and second, because of my wife.
I'm insanely optimistic. For odd, weird reasons, things always work out.
For me, science is already fantastical enough. Unlocking the secrets of nature with fundamental physics or cosmology or astrobiology leads you into a wonderland compared with which beliefs in things like alien abductions pale into insignificance.
