As long as you're interested in people and things, that curiosity propels you forward.

Teaching can be learning, especially if student curiosity with the question 'What's going on here?' can be elicited.

I have always had a sense of curiosity and aspiration.

Kids and adults alike are having their curiosity drained away by boredom in class or the workplace, and by the unremitting background noise of a dumbed-down pop culture.

For me, when I think of curiosity on television, a lot of times my childhood was shaped by shows on PBS that encouraged and embraced curiosity.

Oprah has this intense curiosity that I haven't found with any interviewer.

Neither Adam or I are scientists, we're not engineers or anything of the sort. We just have a lot of fun and the thing is, fun for us happens to involve science and satisfying our curiosity.
