For me, the original Guns N' Roses is the embodiment of a certain kind of chemistry that really couldn't be duplicated.
We all teach ... the chemistry of Lavoisier and Gay-Lussac.
There are 6 billion people in the world. It's hard to find the one person who's right for you.
Your chemistry high school teacher lied to you when they told you that there was such a thing as a vacuum, that you could take space and move every particle out of it.
You can't choose who you fall in love with, you know?
I love Michael Anthony. We met on set for a shoot and ever since then he has been my guy. We don't do too much conceptualizing - it's usually just a vibe we are feeling based on the wardrobe or mood of the shoot, and we go from there.
I don't go out with the plan, 'Let me find a celebrity to go date.' That's just not something you do. I'm just looking for a good person, someone who can be my friend, and someone I can have fun with. She doesn't have to be a celebrity; she can be a regular chick. She's got to be smart, though. I like smart women.
There's a difference between good chemistry and a bond. Chemistry is something you have with somebody you meet - or you don't. It's an intangible. It may be superficial. It's much harder to put your finger on than a bond.
I just don't believe in love at first sight anymore, even though I've based my whole career on the concept. In my experience, power, money and influence always attract the opposite sex. It's something that I've always exploited - with good results.
The thing that made 'M*A*S*H' so good was the fact that we did have those relationships off-camera and took them on-camera.
My brother's a blast to direct; he's one of those great characters who brings so much to every scene he's in, and we're pals.
There is an almost universal experience in physicists, at least of my generation, which is home-made pyrotechnics.
At one point I wanted to work for NASA and be an astrophysicist, so I did physics, math, and chemistry before realizing I probably wasn't quite smart enough to do that. But I am still hugely interested in cosmology and astrophysics. That is my geeky subject area.
I'm a chemistry guy. I believe you've got to play together to have a chance to win.
I've been on extremely talented teams that just don't click, and I've also been on team with a little bit less talent, but they clicked, and because they clicked, they did better than other talented teams I've been on.
Knowing without seeing is at the heart of chemistry.
Working with a good artiste is always a pleasure. If you get a reaction from your co-star, then you get the space to perform well.
I've been out with some extremely beautiful women who have had no sex appeal whatsoever. It really is a lot more than skin deep.
But I don't know if people are meant to be together. You have to have a lot in common, choose well and be really fortunate. It's not like you're sprinkled with fairy dust. You have to believe that love will be there when you need it.
I don't know how to be sexy on a date. Put up a camera and a wind machine, and I'll give you sexy. Put me at a dinner table with some candlelight and the moon shining in and, oh, I will give you dork.
To do a romantic scene is the most unromantic thing to do on screen.
Dating is hard. It's difficult and not quantity, but quality. Finding a good person.
There is a close analogy between organic chemistry in its relation to biochemistry and pure mathematics in its relation to physics.
England and all civilized nations stand in deadly peril of not having enough to eat. As mouths multiply, food resources dwindle. Land is a limited quantity, and the land that will grow wheat is absolutely dependent on difficult and capricious natural phenomena... I hope to point a way out of the colossal dilemma. It is the chemist who must come to the rescue of the threatened communities. It is through the laboratory that starvation may ultimately be turned into plenty... The fixation of atmospheric nitrogen is one of the great discoveries, awaiting the genius of chemists.
I did French, history, biology, chemistry, and general studies at A level.
