My first experiences of academic friendship made me smile in after years when I looked back on them. But my circle of acquaintances had gradually grown so large that it was only natural new friendships should grow out of it.

Like anyone who goes to college, you're leaving a familiar surrounding and a comfortable environment and your friends and everything, and you're starting fresh. It can be pretty daunting.

I had a lot of friends in high school and in college, and we had a good time.

Friends are really important, especially when you've had the successes that I've had. I've gone really far in my career, so they're the ones that keep you humble, keep your feet on the ground.

A lot of my colleagues at school became great friends of mine.

I definitely have had friendships and moments with people from different backgrounds and in different stages of their lives.

I think that it is important to be gregarious, and that friendships are not just a leisure pursuit, that they are an integral part of what it is to be human, and one does better work if one has a circle of friends that is active.

I'm always meeting new people, and my list of friends seems to change quite a bit.

Friendships that don't fit my life anymore have faded away, and new ones have come in.

What I've realized over the years is that I have some pretty good friends.
