I don't feel I have to acknowledge how I'm doing by an award.

I think that my humble beginnings were very deliberate, and I'm grateful for them because I'm not sure I would see my achievements the same way if they were handed to me. I'm not sure my work ethic would be the same.

I think I felt that I was very well known for my figure and needed to keep that up for my work. And I regret all of it. I felt fraudulent and very shameful.

Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.

I made the mistake of thinking that external accomplishments would bring me peace. I thought it was about the job or a book or making a name for myself.

I've had a very good career and I'm grateful that the public has had some level of acceptance and appreciation of my work.

You should not forget that without all the work in law and economics, a great part of which has been supported by the John M. Olin Foundation, it is doubtful whether the importance of my work would have been recognized.

I feel that my whole life is a contribution.

You will not be satisfied unless you are contributing something to or for the benefit of others.

I don't feel like what I've done are 'accomplishments.'
