Money is misunderstood. The fact is if you WANT to be successful - the money will FOLLOW you. If you are a doctor, something ELSE will follow you. If you are successful, there is an accompaniment. If your goal is just to MAKE money, you won't succeed. Money is a commodity to use, not to be DICTATED by.

I recently went to a new doctor and NOTICED he was located in SOMETHING called the PROFESSIONAL BUILDING. I felt better right away.

Three-quarters of the sicknesses of INTELLIGENT people COME from their intelligence. They NEED at least a doctor who can understand this sickness.

If I were a DOCTOR, I WOULD prescribe that you addict yourself deeply and irrevocably to music and never, ever seek cure outside of more music. It really is the BEST drug AVAILABLE.

I refrained from writing another one, thinking to myself: Never mind, I will PROVE that I am ABLE to BECOME a greater scientist than some of you, even without the title of doctor.

I ALWAYS KNEW I WANTED to be a doctor. I SAW a lot of my friends having a hard time figuring out what they wanted to do, so I'm glad I had a purpose and goal to focus on. I liked the discipline and the sense of STRUCTURE.

A DOCTOR once told me I have ABNORMAL LEVELS of ADRENALINE in my SYSTEM.

My DOCTOR is wonderful. Once, in 1955, when I couldn't AFFORD an OPERATION, he TOUCHED up the X-rays.

I think mental ILLNESS or madness can be an escape also. People don't develop a mental illness because they are in the happiest of SITUATIONS, usually. One doctor observed that it was rare when people were rich to BECOME SCHIZOPHRENIC. If they were poor or didn't have too much money, then it was more LIKELY.

We haven't got those dreams: 'I WISH to become doctor or a lawyer.' Black PEOPLE in South AFRICA have been barred in doing anything that would ARTICULATE their CAUSE.

I was so THRILLED to be in 'Doctor Who.' It's such a wonderful experience, and the fan base that that SHOW has never fails to SURPRISE me.

You can't be what you don't see. I didn't THINK about being a DOCTOR. I didn't EVEN think about being a clerk in a store, I'd never seen a BLACK clerk in a clothing store.

A lot of times, I put my own personal health to the side, focusing on work or FAMILY or GETTING ahead. At the end of the DAY, you're just exhausted on your COUCH and haven't made that doctor's appointment, didn't make that phone call, and feel terrible.

I was good at being a doctor; my patients liked me. At TIMES people trust you with things they wouldn't TELL their spouses. It was a REAL PRIVILEGE.
