Yuri Manin, in a translation of a recent interview, available in the forthcoming issue of the Notices of the AMS:
I’m somewhat apprehensive that its [the Riemann Hypothesis] first solution might be a proof using blunt analytic methods. It will receive every imaginable prize, the solution will be acclaimed in every newspaper in the world, and all of this will be misleading because the “right” solution should be given in a wider context, which we already know. We even know several approaches to a solution.
(Note: I do not speak or read Russian, so I can not check the accuracy of the translation from the original article).
