It's kind of ironic that if I get my Ph.D., I'll be a real doctor.

If you act like you know what you're going, you can do anything you want - except neurosurgery.

My father said I should become a doctor and do science in my spare time, which in retrospect might not have been a bad idea, but I wasn't interested in taking care of people's ills.

I eventually thought, this is the only thing I could do as a profession, I can't really do anything else.

You can do anything you want to do, if you know what to do.

I am a doctor, a real doctor.

I can do anything I want to do really, I might as well.

I'm from a family of doctors, and I think they really wanted me to be a doctor. I even sort of assumed I would be a doctor.

For a long time, I thought I would like to be a doctor. Such a good profession. So explicitly good. Never a waste of time.

I told my parents I was going to be a doctor and then a lawyer, but I never believed it and never tried.
