Me as president would not be like anybody else as president. Everyone does the job differently.

I told everyone who was ready to listen that I had material with pentagonal symmetry. People just laughed at me.

The message from the Technion when I was a student was: 'You will be so good that when you graduate, everyone will want to hire you.'

I'm human, just like anybody else.

I don't live for poetry. I live far more than anybody else does.

Wherever I go in the world, I'm treated like royalty.
