Nobel prizes are very special prizes, and it would be great to get one.

I got my Nobel Prize for my lab work.

There are just two things you can do to win a Nobel prize - have a good idea and pursue it effectively.

The tremendous honour of the Nobel Prize is of the strongest incentive to me in my work, while the amount of the Prize will greatly simplify my task and provide me with much valuable help in my work.

The Nobel Prize in Economics is an incredible recognition for the work that my students, colleagues and I have done over the years. We all worked hard, but we were also lucky that the financial applications were so important.

I used the Nobel money to buy a house and for the education of my children.

The Nobel Prize is an honor unique in the world in having found its way into the hearts and minds of simple people everywhere. It casts a light of peace and reason upon us all; and for that I am especially grateful.

I wish to thank the Nobel Foundation for granting me the greatest honor to which a scientist may aspire.

The Nobel Prize is given as a personal award but it also honors the field of research in which I have worked and it also honors my students and colleagues.

I'm not aiming for the Nobel Peace Prize!
