For me to sit down here, even as a Nobel Laureate and make a prediction about which science I think that will be a mistake.

There is a danger one has to really be knowing much more because you can't be too narrow on science.

Human resources are just tremendous in Egypt but we need the science base.

I found with my students they don't necessarily look at journals any more, but they print right away from the internet what's relevant to what's he doing you see.

I built on the efforts of a previous scientist, others will build on the work I'm doing and if I look at the whole scope from chemistry to biology to physics, it's just the list is too long to mention just one and it's not fair to the others.

You should have some time to think and that's very important.

One of the things I enjoy most is to be left alone with a book.
