Never just run through a study because you happen to be familiar with it, but use it to see what you can get from it on this new day which has been granted you.

I read a book a week. I try to keep my mind working.

When I can't do something, this always impels me to study it.

When you run into something interesting, drop everything else and study it.

Even when I wasn't doing much 'science for the public' stuff, I found that four or five hours of intense work in physics was all my brain could take on a given day.

I'm always studying and I've been doing it for a long time now.

I kind of go in waves with reading. Sometimes I read all the time, and sometimes I can't get settled enough to focus.

A lot of my research time is spent daydreaming - telling an imaginary admiring audience of laymen how to understand some difficult scientific idea.

I went to college and I never allowed myself to think for an instant that I would have this chance to do this.

I'm not a fast thinker, but once I am interested in something, I am doing it for many years.
