I have always focused on basic research, motivated by a desire to understand the world.

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

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.

I'll kind of get interested in a subject and I won't know why. It'll be in my head for many years and I'll say, 'Do I know enough here to research?'

Chemically speaking or biologically, we research things, but we don't know half of them. We only know our half of it - symbolically - and we don't know ourselves more than half.

In much of society, research means to investigate something you do not know or understand.

You discover yourself through the research of your work.

My motivation is to get a deeper understanding and exploration of something that I want to know about the human condition. So, that's what I look for in the material I read: if it's asking a genuine question about a concept of the world that interests me. And also, it helps if it's a context that I find interesting.

Science is to do research because of the target's fascinating and interesting characteristics.
