Part of the scientific temperament is this tolerance for holding multiple hypotheses in mind at the same time.
I don't put weight on fame, and having people around me just because I am famous makes me feel really bad about myself.
I was a nervous young man. I wanted to do so many things. And I was so enthusiastic and earnestly in love with so many things that I tried too hard. I tried really, really hard. And I made a lot of mistakes. I was afraid of a lot of stuff. And I kind of feel bad for that person I was.
