Mullis was a bright active kid, always experimenting with some project. Living on the coast at La Jolla, California, he was a surfer from the time he was a youth and was an unlikely example of a scientist in his patterned surfing shorts, as well as an unconventional lifestyle and opinions that were not bounded by academic limitations. Open to the possibility of alien visits and questioning the nature of ESP, he said that "Astrology has some scientific basis and probably has done more than psychiatry to help people understand their lives."
