I have a remarkably normal life.

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it saved my ass.

If you fixate on the worst-case scenario and it actually happens, you’ve lived it twice.

I think I benefited from being equal parts ambitious and curious. And of the two, curiosity has served me best.

I might have skipped class, but I didn't miss any lessons.

I have now is whenever my kids say, "Can you look at this?" or "Can I ask you something?" or "Can you come here for a minute?" no matter what I am doing, I say yes instead of saying, "Just a sec." They never abuse the privilege, and I never once regretted it. What they took me away to do was never less important than what I was doing already.

Optimism is a cure for many things.
