When people don't have any curiosity about themselves, that is always a bad sign.

From the very early days of seeing patients, I noticed that many of them seemed to be concerned with issues of their mortality, and so the philosophy training I had taken began to seem rather important to me.

I always wanted to be a writer. Maybe, had I been brought up in another generation, I might have just gone into writing rather than medicine - which is not to say that I didn't also have a great attraction towards the idea of being a healer. Fortunately, I've been able to combine the two in ways I could never possibly have imagined.

I don't want to be idealized by a patient because of what I've written.

I am very happy and honored to be part of the Sony ATV family.

I do not wish to share any parenting responsibilities with Michael because he is doing so well without me.

I was an assistant once. I worked for Rob Reiner and his family. I did sign a confidentiality agreement, though.

For me, family and football are the most important things. They are in the same level.
