I started on the use of the Internet for scientific communication. Our research group was one of the very first to make really systematic use of it as a way of managing research projects.

I got my Nobel Prize for my lab work.

If it takes you 20 or 25 years to establish yourself in one field, you really ought to be careful not to stray too far.

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

I have many shortcomings. I feel very lucky to have been able to have what I've had.

I certainly saw science as a kind of calling, and one with as much legitimacy as a religious calling.

Everybody has to learn for the first time.
