I think women are just as gifted when it comes to science as men are. But I think their wishes and desires are different and this is also shaped by the society in which they live.

Successful women are not liked. I think the biggest danger for women in science is colleagues who are not as good as you are.

I immediately loved working with flies. They fascinated me, and followed me around in my dreams.

It is very important for me to be taken seriously for my science and not for my looks or other personal accomplishments.

The pressure on kids is high to get good grades. In my time, no one cared about it. My father looked at them but he didn't really make much fuss about them.

Everyone thinks I must have been an ace in school. But I didn't work hard, I was lazy. I liked to be lazy. I thought laziness stimulated your imagination.

At the time I finished high school, I was determined to study biology, deeply convinced to eventually be a researcher.

I was always trying to look modest and natural. I don't like women who come into the lab and you see immediately that it took them two hours to dress in the morning.

I know labs where women refuse to make a coffee for others because they don't want to be seen doing seemingly female things. I think this is stupid. Why not make a coffee, bring a cake? I do it.

I think there are profound differences between women and men. In intelligence and creativity, there is no difference, but in what one loves, what one likes, the passions - there are differences.

I was raised with this idea of hard work and keeping doors open. To be able to choose what you want to do in the future. That was what we tried to tell our children, too.

We all have potential for greatness in ourselves. The only thing we need to do is to find it.

We expect more from technology and less from each other.

More and more people work on Sundays as a consequence of the competitiveness imposed by a consumer society.

The skies and land are so enormous, and the detail so precise and exquisite that wherever you are you are isolated in a glowing world between the macro and the micro.

People who don't have gender dysphoria aren't going to catch it by watching me dance on television.

Football is not part of that lifestyle anymore.

No man is a man without high morals and ethics.

To complain about how the media are dominated by liberals, Limbaugh has an hour a day on network television, an hour on cable, and a radio show syndicated by over 600 stations.

The reason I didn't like cocaine is it made me do stupid things, have stupid conversations, and stay awake until 11 o'clock in the morning unable to think, read, sleep or speak.

Being receptive, being able to listen openly and well, is a crucial skill for creative problem-solving.
