Abstract
In this interview Roald Hoffmann reveals aspects of his private life, from the great difficulties he experienced during World War II, to his personal beliefs. Hoffmann addresses questions about the meaning of laboratory work, teaching chemistry, representing chemical ideas, his philosophical quandaries, his poetry, and his view of atomic orbitals. Roald Hoffmann's interest and enthusiasm for research work in every branch of chemistry as well as his love for beauty and poetry emerge in this interview.
