To my father, business was the highest calling, but to my mother, medicine was the top profession.

My family background was heavily slanted toward business and seafaring matters.

I can't think of any relatives that ever went into science.

At the time my dog had a fungus on her chest that wouldn't heal and resisted treatment. I made an ointment with our product and it cleared up in two days. She lived to 17 years.

You take responsibility for your children but you're not always the taxi driver and that doesn't make you a bad parent.

Well, financially it's a little bit better. But it's better than than when I was a teacher. But I kind of - it's allowed me to buy a house. And I've been able to help my mother with some stuff and my brother. So, that's nice.

I've seen the best and worst of times. My parents were divorced when I was a child. I was brought up by my father.

I am very, very, very blessed to have the family that I do.
