Medicine is a jealous mistress. It demands all your time.

I get up at the same time every morning.

If you can laugh your way through life, you can have a good time as you're going through the sometimes troubling time that we have in our lives.

In Turkey, you're not allowed to be left alone in the hospital. The nurse teaches the family how to do things, and somebody is always there with the patient.

We're all human beings, but some of us are more sophisticated at covering our flaws. We're just smart enough to lie to ourselves that everything is OK.

It's a big issue for me - feeling like I should be helping every person who asks for something or who has a problem.

No matter how old you are, no matter how much you weigh, you can still control the health of your body.
