Its very difficult in our society. You cannot impose certain behavioral changes. Education can do it at the right time, probably by high school. After that it is too late.

I think we should put the same weight now on the co-factors as we have on HIV.

It's clear that prevention will never be sufficient. That's why we need a vaccine that will be safe.

Basic research is very useful, but it should be more geared toward application than it was before.

We don't know why, but there are some gradients of infection.

AIDS does not inevitably lead to death, especially if you suppress the co-factors that support the disease. It is very important to tell this to people who are infected.

when your child is in trouble, the first thing you do is blame yourself.

The seed of sin is in us when we are born.

Trying to be funny is one of the hardest things on the planet. I think that's tough for everyone. If you're just naturally funny it's a hell of a lot easier.

Morality is similar to religion - it is a somniferous drug which blinds people from seeing the squalor of their lives.

I have some vivid memories of walking around as a child with a cassette tape.

I like to keep myself wrapped in layers of sleep and wait for the geraniums.
