Quote

When someone becomes successful or rich and famous, people perceive that person as being different. But I'm the same guy I've always been.

I have lived my life that way and I expect the people who work for me to be the same way.

I'm still the same person I've always been.

I pattern my actions and life after what I want. No two people are alike. You might admire attributes in others, but use these only as a guide in improving yourself in your own unique way. I don't go for carbon copies. Individualism is sacred!

The older that we get and the different stages we go through in life, it seems like we become different people. But I think that the truth is you are always the same person. You just discover these new things about yourself.

Is my science of a level consistent with other people who have gotten the Nobel? Yes.

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.

You know, sometimes you're jealous of other people and their achievements, and you wanna be that person, but I've come to realize that each individual on this planet has his own path.

The people you surround yourself with influence your behaviors, so choose friends who have healthy habits.

I feel a different person in a lot of ways. I feel much more professional and dedicated to my trade than I used to be. I appreciate this ability I've got - and don't take it for granted any more. That fits every aspect of my life now.
