Stephen Hawking: It is clear that we are just an advanced breed of primates on a minor planet orbiting around a very average star, in the outer suburb of one among a hundred billion galaxies. BUT, ever since the dawn of civilization people have craved for an understanding of the underlying order of the world. There ought to be something very special about the boundary conditions

of the universe. And what can be more special than that there is no boundary? And there should be no boundary to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there is life, there is hope.

Brian: Stephen, your 'motor-mouth' disease, does it affect, um...
Stephen Hawking: What?
Brian: [Gesturing towards his crotch] Uh, everything?
Stephen Hawking: What? No. Different system. Automatic.
Brian: Are you serious? Well that's pretty wonderful isn't it? Well it certainly

explains a lot about men.

Stephen Hawking: I will write a book.
Jane Hawking: About what?
Stephen Hawking: Time.
Jane Hawking: Time?
Stephen Hawking: What is the nature of time? Will it ever come to an end? Can we go back in time? Some day these answers may seem as obvious to us as the Earth orbiting the sun, or

perhaps as ridiculous as a tower of tortoises. Only time, that's what we say.

Technician: [presenting Hawking with the speech-generating device] Welcome to the future.
Stephen Hawking: [speaks for the first time] My name is Stephen Hawking...
Jane Hawking: [astonished] It's American!
Technician: Is that a problem?
Jane Hawking: Oh, my goodness, well... is there

another voice?
Technician: It's the only one lately I have at the moment.
Jane Hawking: [smiles with delight] I think it's great!

Cockcroft Guest 2: Now you are recognized everywhere. How do you deal with all the attention?
Stephen Hawking: [grinning] I was stopped recently by a tourist at Cambridge who asked if I was the real Stephen Hawking. I replied I was not, and said the real one was much better looking.
Audience: [laughing]

Jane Hawking: Einstein hated peas. Quantum theory. He said, "God doesn't play dice with the universe."
Stephen Hawking: Seems he not only *plays* dice, but he throws them where we can't find them.
Jane Hawking: God is back on the endangered species list.
Jonathan Hellyer Jones: Well, I expect he'll cope.

Stephen Hawking: And physics is back in business.

Jane Hawking: Reading Stephen Hawking's draft of A Brief History of Time: "Who are we? Why are we here? If we ever learn this, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason, for then we would know the mind of god."
