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.

Spread joy. Chase your wildest dreams.

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.

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

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

We need to start treating the patient as well as the disease.

The most radical act anyone can commit is to be happy.
