The thing that is probably most important is having a brain, and to be able to figure things out and learn things very rapidly.

There is a tendency of people to try to make you believe only a few people are smart. As a brain surgeon, I know better than that.

As a pediatric neurosurgeon, I frequently faced life and death situations, and had to come up with the right diagnosis, the right plan, and execute that plan frequently with other colleagues.

If that's what you're thinking, then don't even question it. Go let your freak flag fly, brother.

I don't want to just entertain people. I want to touch them.

Love is insistent on its own continuation. Every fraction of a second, someone somewhere falls in love, a former enemy becomes a friend, and a newborn baby is born into the world.
