Astrologers 'Harmless'

"I went along and said,
'Yes, Yes, Yes,' and it wasn't
until 10 minutes through the
conversation that I realized
that she wasn't talking about
astronomy at all. She was
talking about horoscopes and
signs of the Zodiac!"

"I'm supposed to be against
it. That's the official policy.
I'm not as against astrology as
a lot of astronomers today. I
really think they are relatively
harmless to a large extent."

"I think the general sort of
game of predicting the future,
giving some sort of word on
things, is something people
want."
