Between meeting with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and university students, prominent physicist Stephen Hawking recently did an interview with a local Israeli TV station while visiting the country for his fourth time. The well-known author ("A Brief History of Time"), who has Lou Gehrig's spoke candidly of his condition and his celebrity:
"The downside of my celebrity is that I cannot go anywhere in the world without being recognized," he said, to soft giggles from the studio audience. "It is not enough for me to wear dark sunglasses and a wig. The wheelchair gives me away. People want to be photographed with me, but it can be a nuisance when I am in a hurry."
Later on in the interview, Hawking was confronted with the question of whether or not he'd ever considered ending his life. To which, he replied, "However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at." Leave it to the Israelis to ask such questions.
