I can’t remember the source of the quote I’m thinking of, but it goes something like this:
“People always remark that I know so much about science and so little about celebrities, but they fail to see that the two are related.”
Does anyone know the original quote?
There’s this:
People are always amazed by how much "free time" I have. They're also amazed that I don't know who Ally McBeal is. Frankly, I'm amazed that they can't make the connection." -- Robert Wenzlaff
Maybe that was it and I spruced it up in my head! Thanks.

Where did you find that quote originally?

I was unable to track it any further—all the Google hits seem to trace back to this or the original posting.
Here’s one of a few mailing list postings where he has it as his signature.
