First of all, I believe that the results of science should be fully given to the community. Fully. Absolutely. And all types of competition such as who did it first and “I cannot tell him because he will copy me” and so on – these are not arguments. Society financed this science, if not directly, then the education and the way I got there, so society should get back what I found. It is not my finding. In this, I am not very popular, I must say.

I have to be optimistic. Otherwise I'll stop. And I think that when you're doing this kind of job, you have to keep yourself optimistic. You always have to find openings and entry points and try to see what you can work with and where you can create some opportunity to have a conversation that results in some concrete outcome.

I just don't really see the dialectic between inside and outside, and corporate and revolutionary, as being as cut and dry as I used to.

You can’t make decisions based upon whether it will be popular or not. You have to make decisions based on whether they’re right.

Monogamy is a possibility – and a necessity. Kids have got to have something they can rely on. You have got to have something you rely on.

I was never great with girls.
