Exact excerpt

there are statements which would have enormous implications if they could be definitively proved (e.g. the six remaining Millennium prize problems), but the likelihood of actually doing so is so remote, I don’t think these are the problems that we should be devoting the bulk of our mathematical manpower to attacking. (Though I do like to keep tinkering with an approach I have to disproving global regularity for the Navier-Stokes equations…)
