You don't go to the movies to do historical research unless it's historical research about the movies.

I've just finished my 20th book this past year and I'm working on my 21st book about the Middle East right now that I'll finish this year. And I get up early in the morning and when I get tired of the computer and tired of doing research I walk 20 steps out to my woodshop and I either build furniture or paint paintings. I'm an artist too.

I think the worst and most insidious procrastination for me is research. I will be looking for some bit of fact or figure to include in the novel and before I know I've wasted an entire morning delving into that subject matter without a word written.

Research is four things: brains with which to think eyes with which to see machines with which to measure and fourth money.

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 was looking to do something non-fiction because I had done a strip 'My Mom Was a Schizophrenic.' I really enjoyed the process of doing that strip despite its subject matter. To do it I'd had to do a lot of research and reading and I figured I'd like to do that again.

I was almost 8 years old when I was watching a kid on a TV commercial and I told my mom that I wanted to do the same thing. She said that I would need to get an agent and that she would research it.

The latest research has revealed that women have a higher IQ than men.

Alfred Nobel was much concerned as are we all with the tangible benefits we hope for and expect from physiological and medical research and the Faculty of the Caroline Institute has ever been alert to recognize practical benefits.

The sort of thinking at the time was 'Well we're giving you access to medical care which you wouldn't otherwise be able to get so your payment is that we get to use you in research.'
