Stegosaurus was common only on well drained, dry soil.

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.

I'm just concerned that if I get older, people aren't going to enjoy me as much as when I was younger, because I had a great voice for a little girl, but I mean, my voice can't get any bigger when I'm older.

We can no longer prosper by increasing human productivity. The more we try to do, the more poverty we will create.

My biggest mistake was when I started up easyEverything, a chain of Internet cafes. The idea that people would go to a shop to use a computer was revolutionary in 1999. It worked for a while, but cheap technology almost killed it. One silver lining of the problems I faced was that it gave me experience of turnarounds.

Making children cry for a photographer can be considered mean. But I would say that making children laugh and show off their jeans for an apparel ad is just as exploitative and less natural. Toddlers' natural state, like, 30 percent of the time, is crying, and it doesn't indicate pain or suffering.

Most of our ancestors were not perfect ladies and gentlemen. The majority of them weren't even mammals.

I am gluten free, dairy free and sugar free, although I do slip up on the sugar sometimes because I have a big sweet tooth!

October is the opal month of the year. It is the month of glory, of ripeness. It is the picture-month.

The people who have the strongest opinion about everything have never left their city, their town, haven't left their 'hood, haven't left their area, their corner of the world. They don't read. They've never left their house.

We necessarily operate in an environment in which there's a great deal of uncertainty. In such an environment, it makes sense to use a risk-management approach to identify and avoid the big mistakes. That's one reason I favor a cautious approach.

My initial interest, just prior to my work on cytokines, was on cell-mediated immunity and delayed hypersensitivity, mostly with respect to the cells that populated these reactions.

I feel like guitar explains a lot. You can just listen to a guitar without any lyrics over it; you can just feel what kind of track it is. If it's pain... you can feel it. It sets the mood.

My brother had boxes of comic books. He was really the collector.

Our brain, our body, craves fat. We cannot help it. That's why a kid will eat a hot dog quicker than a piece of broccoli.

Is the system going to flatten you out and deny you your humanity, or are you going to be able to make use of the system to the attainment of human purposes?

We need a free media, not just freedom of speech.

You don't really know much until you get to be 70.

On climate change, we have only a handful of years to make massive changes, according to the scientists. The politicians have to act, and only the people can make them, because Royal Dutch Shell's not going to do it.

Bats drink on the wing, like swallows, by sipping the surface, as they play over pools and streams.

My whole career this is the biggest failure financially, but at the same time, it's one of my favorite things I've ever done.
