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 really wanted to be a doctor, until my freshman year of college when I realized that while I was good at chemistry and biology, I really wasn't feeling challenged by it.

I went to college, I went pre-med, I thought I was going to be a doctor.

I wanted to be a doctor since I was five.

To become a doctor, you spend so much time in the tunnels of preparation - head down, trying not to screw up, trying to make it from one day to the next - that it is a shock to find yourself at the other end, with someone shaking your hand and asking how much money you want to make.

For as long as I can really remember, I wanted to be a doctor.

I knew at university that medicine was just not for me. I saved many lives by not being a doctor!

I think early on I knew what I was going to do and it was based a lot on familiarity but it was also because I didn't have a lot of skills. There was nothing I wanted t be. I didn't want to be a doctor. I wanted to be in show business.

I was good at being a doctor; my patients liked me. At times people trust you with things they wouldn't tell their spouses. It was a real privilege.
