My brother Trevor is theatrically trained. I used to watch him when I was younger and I was in love with it. It just seemed really fun to be someone else. So I begged my mom she was hesitant but she eventually allowed me. And it turned out well I guess.

I'd say that if you had a strained relationship with your mom for whatever reason the best thing to do is be open with each other talk it over try and work it out somehow as opposed to just putting a wall up and pushing them away.

My mom and I used to listen to records read and take train rides across the country in the summer. It was a very chill life. She didn't expose me to anything that was ahead of my development but she expected me to adjust to her world - she did not expect to adjust to mine.

If it's natural to kill how come men have to go into training to learn how?

It is easier to lead men to combat stirring up their passion than to restrain them and direct them toward the patient labors of peace.

What is absurd and monstrous about war is that men who have no personal quarrel should be trained to murder one another in cold blood.

I found out that colonels can stay until they drop dead or get a walker and being a critical medical specialty as an Army trained emergency room doctor I could stay until age 67.

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

I decided to start a medical training program for freelancers only freelancers. They're the ones who are doing most of the combat reporting. They're taking most of the risks. They're absorbing most of the casualties. And they're the most underserved and under-resourced of everyone in the entire news business.

The growth of technology is such that it is not possible today for a nuclear physicist to switch into medical physics without training. The field is now much more technical. More training is needed to do the job.
