No one undertakes research in physics with the intention of winning a prize. It is the joy of discovering something no one knew before.

So Einstein was wrong when he said, "God does not play dice." Consideration of black holes suggests, not only that God does play dice, but that he sometimes confuses us by throwing them where they can't be seen.

It's a pity that nobody has found an exploding black hole. If they had, I would have won a Nobel prize.

My three children have brought me great joy.

Philosophers have not kept up with modern developments in science. Particularly physics.

Most people don't have time to master the very mathematical details of theoretical physics.
