"My main efforts focussed on trying to identify the rate controlling steps during the cell cycle. Crucial for this analysis were wee mutants that were advanced prematurely through the cell cycle and so divided at a reduced cell size."

"I think it was this curiosity about the natural world which awoke my early interest in science."
Science
"It has been a privilege to pursue knowledge for its own sake and to see how it might help mankind in more practical ways."
Knowledge
"This possibility bothered me as I thought it was not advisable to remain in one academic environment, and the long dark winters in Edinburgh could be rather dismal."
Thought
"At age 11 in 1960, I moved to an academic state secondary school, Harrow County Grammar School for Boys."
Age
"A key issue in developmental biology at that time was the problem of how cells underwent differentiation, with most workers concentrating on explanations in terms of changes in enzyme and gene regulation."
Time
"I have an idealistic view of science as a liberalising and progressive force for humanity."
Science
"During the winter my attention was attracted to the changes in the stars and planets in the sky."
Attention
"I decided that the University of Sussex in Brighton was a good place for this work because it had a strong tradition in bacterial molecular genetics and an excellent reputation in biology."
Work
"Therefore, I reasoned that study of the cell cycle responsible for the reproduction of cells was important and might even be illuminating about the nature of life."
Life
"My parents were born in Norfolk and spent their early years working in the big houses of that rural English county, my mother as a cook and my father as a handyman and chauffeur."
