I see myself as life-sized, certainly not a supersized personality, and apparently after 30 years of television, that's what the audience thinks of me as well. I know this because for the first time in my career, I've just seen market research, and the thing I am known for is being authentic. ↗

The first thing to make clear is that scientists, freely making their own choice of problems and pursuing them in the light of their own personal judgment, are in fact co-operating as members of a closely knit organization. ↗

The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but must live with a character. ↗

I have not much interest in anyone's personal history after the tenth year, not even my own. Whatever one was going to be was all prepared before that. ↗
