I just happen to believe that people are not stupid.

A great operation on the wrong patient is just as bad as a horrible operation on the right patient. So, you have to have all that together.

A lot of people simply don't realize their potential because they're just so risk adverse. They just don't want to take the risk.

The thing that is probably most important is having a brain, and to be able to figure things out and learn things very rapidly.

There is a tendency of people to try to make you believe only a few people are smart. As a brain surgeon, I know better than that.

The more I learn about the human body, our environment, and the universe, the more it increases my faith.

What do lawyers learn in law school? They learn to win... What we've got to start thinking about is how do we solve problems.
