Chemistry is really about two people who like to act together, I think. It's like tennis in the most cliched way. It's like if you hit the ball, they hit the ball back, and they don't hit it into the stands, and they don't put the ball in their pocket and walk off - and they don't argue with the umpire, you know?

During my McGill years, I took a number of math courses, more than other students in chemistry.

At Harvard I majored in chemistry with a strong inclination toward math.

How do you create chemistry? If only I knew that! Some people say it's a natural thing that you have with someone, and maybe it is to do with that, but I think you can work on it.

The first education to be a good chemist is to do well in high school science courses. Then, you go to college to really become a chemist. You want to take science and math. Those are the main things.

Chemistry can be a good and bad thing. Chemistry is good when you make love with it. Chemistry is bad when you make crack with it.

I guess chemistry is just another word for love.

Chemistry was always my weakest subject in high school and college.

There is a close analogy between organic chemistry in its relation to biochemistry and pure mathematics in its relation to physics.

Sometimes I get too wound up in my chemistry, but if you play chamber music, it's impossible to think about chemistry.
