Doing the right thing for someone else was like a tonic for me; it was like some magic ointment that made a wound disappear.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Everything good that's ever happened to me came out of helping others.
I became hooked on 'In Treatment,' which was so finely written and performed. Such a simple idea, and yet it delved into very complex territory with real grace and humanity.
After I got over the terrible pain of having something of mine taken from me, I began to think how bad everybody else must be feeling. It wasn't a nice time.
I have an inner satisfaction of having done what I thought was right at the time which I thought was propitious.
Healing is a moral thing to do.
I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth - and truth rewarded me.
I eventually realized that good things wouldn't happen to me if I didn't make the right choices.
My intent was to carry out my duty as a doctor, to end their suffering. Unfortunately, that entailed, in their cases, ending of the life.
I sometimes wish I were suffering in a good cause, or risking my life for the good of others, instead of just being a gravely endangered patient.
I think making a movie or a record, the best things happen by accident - and those end up being the magic. Every time I've followed my gut it's been better than when I've tried to do what I was supposed to do.
