I've never made a penny being a doctor, so that makes it not a job. My sense of a doctor is that one is a presence caring for health. So I'm never not a doctor. People call me from all over the world who are hurting, and I care for them. Chatting is what more people want than anything.

No one ever writes me and says, 'We have a happy hospital'. Nowhere is doing it in a healthy way. That's encouragement for me.

I'd say that I think the most revolutionary act that you can commit in our society today is to be happy.

If you focus on the problem, you can’t see the solution. Never focus on the problem.

It's such a paradox for them to say, "Oh, my God, I've thrown away my life," and continue to do that for the last month of their life. I shake them, physically shake them, and say, "What about now? What about now?"

I am extremely intentional in making the environment around me playful and loving. I have great skill in that area.

What I really want is a world where no one alive can remember what the word 'war' means. That's my goal.
