There are a lot of people doing good work, but we need to get the burning of fossil fuels off the highways and speedways of the world, so that we'll step up on global warming.

I'm honored and humbled to win the Nobel Prize. I thank all my friends for the support and assistance throughout my life.

Well as I say, don't believe everything that you read and don't be afraid to think and it is alright to understand what has gone before but don't just rely on copying but develop your internal voice and your own internal means of interpreting.

I'm extremely happy to be able to work to build communications throughout the world.

We need to build relationships, not walls.

I enjoy the company and interaction of people at work.

I go to the lab and in order to interact with my postdoctoral students and try to see if I can shape them to not copy but to ask questions and to think. We have to have a little dialogue because you don't pretend to be the fountain of all wisdom.

My objective was never to make money. I wanted to contribute to human knowledge and betterment.

I'm extremely happy the lithium-ion batteries helped communications around the world.
