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.

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.

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.

Somewhere I read that anorexia recovery is more painful for the sufferer than actively engaging in the eating disordered behaviours

A man needs to be polite, not just to me but to everyone. I watch that. How does he treat the waiter? How does he treat the coat-check girl? How does he treat the driver?

Having money is a way of being free of money.

We are thrilled to work with Fun and share the same sentiment that we want do some really exciting and innovative things for the magic community.

I like the sparkle of the vibraphone.

People are always nice, so I can't complain. My name used to be SNL! More and more, people call me by my name.

It may be taken for granted that, rash as the Americans are, when they are prudent there is good reason for it.

I was that 'awkward-didn't-understand-his body-kind of-uncomfortable teen.'

Growing up in Jersey City was interesting. I got to learn a lot about different cultures: I had Hindu friends, Middle Eastern friends, black friends, Spanish friends.

My mum came from nothing and didn't have many opportunities in her youth, and she blames a lot of her social inadequacies on that.
