I don't do any RESEARCH. It's all about GUT. EDITING - it's ALWAYS about gut.

I don't often do a lot of that KIND of research, but when it's something specific like 'Oz' - which I fortunately did not have a lot of EXPERIENCE with - I will. I READ 'The Hot House,' about being on the INSIDE at Leavenworth prison.

The Director of the LABORATORY, GEORGE Reynolds, was most supportive of my efforts to work independently. There followed for ten YEARS a GLORIOUS time for RESEARCH.

When actors TALK about RESEARCH, they're just patting themselves on the BACK.

You see, I used to do a certain amount of market research by GOING to the LOCAL drugstore and seeing what the truck drivers would put up. Now it's all just copies from the LATEST best-seller LIST and damn little of ANYTHING else.

We need your HELP. I need your help. We need MONEY for RESEARCH. It may not SAVE my LIFE. It may save my children's life. It may save someone you love. And it's very important.

I think even in bad TIMES it's good to keep some MONEY going into research. And that's the purpose of the whole SPACE program. It's not just exploration and going to see how far we can GO out into space and keep people alive and bring them BACK, although exploration certainly has its place.

Every corporation WORTH its salt is throwing money at Deep WEB RESEARCH, not least Google. The company that unlocks the mysteries of the Deep Web will obtain POWER of an enormous MAGNITUDE.

After qualifying for a B.Sc. in pharmacology, I spent a few MONTHS in Sheffield University as a RESEARCH worker in the pharmacology department but then went BACK to OXFORD to the Nuffield Institute for Medical Research in order to study for a D. Phil. with Dr. Geoffrey Dawes.

I ENJOY doing the RESEARCH of NONFICTION; that gives me some PLEASURE, being a detective again.

I talked to ex-wives of musicians of the '70s for RESEARCH. They're the funniest PEOPLE in the world, yet there is this SAD, beautiful THING in their eyes that says they've seen more than they COULD ever possibly tell you.

We think that it is the best scientists WORKING in the frontier fields of SCIENCE who are best ABLE to judge what is GOOD and what is BAD - if any - in the application of their scientific research.

But with NONFICTION, the TASK is very straightforward: Do the RESEARCH, TELL the STORY.

For Kitty Gilbert in 'Topsy-Turvy,' I had to get to the POINT where I could IMPROVISE in the style of 1880, which is difficult. The research for that was HUGE.
