Being successful at a very young age gave me the confidence and the capability to try out other things.

I hope I've lived a life of science whose style will encourage younger people.

The central moral issue of science is that we do not have a science of peace and hardly know where to begin in building one.

I believe I am a person with unusual talents. I think I'd be a liar or stupid if I were to deny that.

If lifespan jumps by 30 or 40 years, that has enormous implications.

I'm not easily inhibited by the fact that I don't know something about a subject. It doesn't stop me from dabbling in it.

I don't believe anybody can really grasp everything that's even in one textbook.
