Stephen Hawking in New York Magazine interview:

>What is your I.Q.?
I have no idea. People who boast about their I.Q. are losers.

>How can we know if you qualify as a genius physicist, as you are invariably described?
The media need superheroes in science just as in every sphere of life, but there is really a continuous range of abilities with no clear dividing line.

>Are you saying you are not a genius?
I hope I'm near the upper end of the range.
