Once in a while, I have to pinch myself to remind myself I am Nobel laureate, but that is not part of my work plan every day.

Nobody wants any country to have nuclear weapons.

Egypt under Hosni Mubarak had deteriorated to the status of a failed state. We must wipe the slate clean and start again.

I worry about a democracy having nuclear weapons as much as a dictatorship having nuclear weapons.

Challenging the integrity of the non-proliferation regime is a matter which can affect international peace and security.

I have a lot of interests in global issues, as you know, humanity, inequity, arms control, and I continue to be active on all these issues.

Whether weapons exist in Iraq, Saddam Hussein or post-Saddam Hussein, it is a serious enough issue that require that we continue to go and make sure that Iraq does not have weapons.
