I've always been on the side of science that tries to help man. I play an active part with the foundations I'm involved in. Science gives hope. If it were offered to me? Never say never. But I wouldn't kill or steal to have my sight. My blindness doesn't define my life.

I love science, and I believe in it. I have a faith that science can solve problems and make the world a better place.

I've always been very one-sided about science, and when I was younger, I concentrated almost all my effort on it.

I spent my adult life as a scientist, and science is, essentially, the most successful approach we have to try and understand the vast mysteries around.

I've only actively promoted what we always hope is good science.

I support basic research, which can lead to discoveries that change our world, expand our horizons and save lives.

My life in science has been rich and rewarding. I have sacrificed very little.

I had no specific bent toward science until my grandfather died of cancer. I decided nobody should suffer that much.

I have an idealistic view of science as a liberalising and progressive force for humanity.

I got into science because I thought that, with inspiration and hard work, I could figure out how life works.
