Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not sure whether I could win a Nobel Prize or not, but the Nobel Committee called me, and, 'You got the Nobel Prize.' So, I was so, so happy, and I was so surprised.
I think anyone who gets the Nobel Prize has to be a little bit embarrassed to be picked out when there have been so many people who have contributed.
If I could explain it to the average person, I wouldn't have been worth the Nobel Prize.
Some people think the Nobel Prize makes you bullet-proof. I never had that illusion.
My wife thought I deserved it, but I always thought the Nobel a Western prize.
I've always felt that the Nobel Prize gives me nothing as far as science is concerned.
I got my Nobel Prize for my lab work.
It is a great honor for me to be able to express my sincere gratitude to the Nobel Foundation.
I can only point out a curious fact. Year after year the Nobel Awards bring a moment of happiness not only to the recipients, not only to colleagues and friends of the recipients, but even to strangers.
The truth is that anyone, almost anyone, who receives the Nobel Prize has some indirect knowledge of one sort or another that they may be a candidate.
