I also discovered the only complete Brontosaurus skull.

The impact of the magazine was very strong. As I said, it portrayed dinosaurs as part of the geological history, part of the story of life on earth. It struck that paleontology was the career for me.

Feathers predate birds.

Since then I have held many jobs at museums in Colorado and Wyoming. I have also taught summer courses at the University of Colorado.

I also discovered the only complete Brontosaurus skull.

One of my major goals is to develop a web of the small Wyoming museums and create a major museum system. There are about eight of these museums, and they are all scattered.

Also, while I was at Yale, I had a job teaching kids at the museum.

I want to be the Bob DeNiro of the Jurassic.

At Harvard I was in charge of the comparative anatomy labs.

Stegosaurus was common only on well drained, dry soil.

Birds evolved from a small raptor like theropod.

As an undergraduate I held many small jobs as an illustrator.

To me it seems that the warm blooded dinosaurs replaced advanced mammal ancestors that were warm blooded, also.

One researcher just determined that African and Indian elephants make each other sick. When a new animal or plant is introduced to a habitat bad things happen. The biggest danger to native wildlife is foreign wildlife.

When looking at the evidence of feeding on large prey, you can see every size tooth from hatchling to adult in one spot. The babies may have been fed in the nest until they were full grown, like in eagles and hawks.

In 1941 Richard Owen said that the dinosaurs were almost hot blooded.

It was not an asteroid or comet, because it would have killed everything.

Often extinctions in the ocean occur at the same time as those on land. Then again, the ice age extinctions lost many big animals, but not many sea faring ones.

Land bridges were everywhere during the extinction, many species were spreading, and there were many diseases.

I also got a chance to go to the American Museum in New York, which helped my interest.

Dinosaurs are the jumper cables to the human mind. Kids can't curb their enthusiasm when they're in a hall of dinosaurs and mammoths and mammoth hunters and trilobites and giant fish that could chomp up a shark. These natural objects in motion and context make kids want to read; you can't stop them from reading and thinking.

Fossils have richer stories to tell - about the lub-dub of dinosaur life - than we have been willing to listen to.

I'll bet you a six-pack of Coors that pretty soon, people will be discovering Cretaceous parasites inside Cretaceous bones. The possibility of looking into epidemiology and pathology is pretty cool.

The evidence is overwhelming that birds are dinosaurs.

You could arm-wrestle with a T. rex and win, but you shouldn't because it only makes them mad.

Land bridges were everywhere during the extinction many species were spreading and there were many diseases.

Its very simple why kids are crazy about dinosaurs dinosaurs are natures Special Effects. They are the only real dragons. Kids love dragons. Its not just being weirdly shaped and being able to eat Buicks. Its that they are real.

The public image of dinosaurs is tainted by extinction. Its hard to accept dinosaurs as a success when they are all dead. But the fact of ultimate extinction should not make us overlook the absolutely unsurpassed role dinosaurs played in the history of life.

If we measured success by longevity then dinosaurs must rank as the number one success story in the history of land life.

Dinosaurs have a bad public image as symbols of obsolescence and hulking inefficiency in political cartoons they are know nothing conservatives that plod through miasmic swamps to inevitable extinction.

To me, respect for human life begins with making it more difficult to obtain an inanimate object that is designed to snuff it out.

More important is the fact that embryonic stem cell research could lead to new treatments and cures for the many Americans afflicted with life-threatening and debilitating diseases.

Sometimes in football you deserve to win but lose. Other times you deserve to lose or draw but you win. That is the game, and it's why I've always said you should never try to predict anything in football, especially in Europe.

I started when I was 8 years old, which is obviously nowadays pretty late, but I guess in my generation it was all right. I had plenty of other interests and I didn't do only tennis.

Worst ideas? Me? Whatever do you mean? There are no bad ideas.

I don't take compliments very easily. I think most musicians suffer from low self-esteem to some extent.

I say things as if they've already happened, so as I'm getting ready I can think about it and feel it, how it's going to feel to win, and I see myself getting on the podium.

I think people like Bill Gates, who have given away enormous sums of money, are shining examples for all of us to follow.

I know people I feel are extremely talented, but I don't know that I've ever heard any geniuses.

My twin sister, my cousin, and I used to write and perform plays for my family. We raided the closets for costumes and fought over parts. I'm sure I was the bossiest one.

The sharp employ the sharp.

If you are playing King Lear you are the centre of attention anyway. You don't need to draw attention to yourself. It's all laid out for you.

For American filmmakers, the Oscars is like a mystic thing. For me, it was being in a mirror of my dreams when I was dreaming of Hollywood when I was an adolescent.

Working in this industry, I have been exposed to so many products and now realize more than ever how cruel and unnecessary animal testing is.

I'm an emotional person. I may not seem that way, but I'm an emotional person.

The mouse that hath but one hole is taken quickly.

The guy was infected with bird flu because he took a sick chicken, slaughtered it and and then ate it.

I think we do have our true, original stories that work. I can tell you that 'The King's Speech,' which we did, became a worldwide smash because people loved the personal story.

If I was a star, it would be difficult to go off and do 'Coronation Street.' So I guess I'm not a star.
