  I didn’t want to become a professor, just a scientist! It just happens that I’ve done so much science over the years, and made so many discoveries, that I’ve been made a professor.
  
  What isn’t interesting about using giant telescopes to look at things in space? There’s so much stuff to see, and so much new stuff to discover, you can never get bored doing it.
