I think what I am is a "convener"; I like to convene people around ideas.

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 happen to be a hopeaholic. I tend to look at problems as an opportunity to do some work.

I am lucky: I have fantastic doctors and a fantastic dentist.

I am not myself; I am the potential of myself.

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.

People who are sick, or who have been sick, or have come close to death have a lot to say - and they want you to hear it.
