I have a lot of optimism about new doctors because I think it's really clear that it's a lot of hard work and no guarantee of a lot of money.

I love studying how people are. Not just what they're saying, but how they are, what they're doing.

I'm interested when things are upside down - because there are so many possibilities in that one moment. There is a lot that is exposed.

Learning is a tunnel experience that makes us think more broadly.

Even jealousy is based on fantasies: a fantasy that someone else has what belongs to you.

I am interested in personal stories because that's when people become expressive, spontaneous and heartfelt.

People realize that we're very good at sending people to war, but we're not good at taking care of them. And people are coming back from war now; years ago, they would have been killed, now they're wounded; and they're coming back alive and with post-traumatic stress. So, I think Americans are sensible enough to know we've got to figure out a way to take care of them.
