Because of my medical and ideological training I am accustomed to saying that life is adaptation and symbiosis.

I have no qualms about saying I am more confident in the medical treatment in America. The breast cancer survival rate is 20 per cent higher than in the UK.

That's the thing. in medicine you're used to saying there's a problem within the person and saying there's a problem within the culture that's not a medical answer. Medicine has to look in one direction so there's only one type of answer that they can find.

There is a big misconception about arranged marriage. Yes it can mean that you meet someone and then have to marry them but this was my mother saying 'I'm going to introduce you to so-and-so - If you don't like them fair enough.'

On both 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette ' it seems like proposing marriage is equivalent to saying 'Let's date.' Everyone knows those aren't the same things.

In interviews I gave early on in my career I was quoted as saying it was possible to have it all: a dynamic job marriage and children. In some respects I was a social adolescent.

Authenticity is the alignment of head mouth heart and feet - thinking saying feeling and doing the same thing - consistently. This builds trust and followers love leaders they can trust.

I'm not saying that love always takes you to heaven. Your life can become a nightmare. But that said it is worth taking the risk.

It is a common saying and in everybody's mouth that life is but a sojourn.

I remember a specific moment watching my grandmother hang the clothes on the line and her saying to me 'you are going to have to learn to do this ' and me being in that space of awareness and knowing that my life would not be the same as my grandmother's life.
