I went to Duke University in the medical track. And then I decided I wanted to do something more creative so I switched to biochemistry at Nebraska.

In my own life I decided to leave meat off my plate in medical school but was a bit slow to realise that dairy products and eggs are not health foods either.

I unfortunately had a lot of medical procedures throughout my life so I decided to paint all of my surgeries as a way to heal and as a way to grow.

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 Navy's paid for you to go through school and then they need doctors to go out and take care of people who are in various different parts of the world. I decided to pay back my time first as an undersea medical officer. I was stationed in Scotland.

I look back to when I got divorced in the late 1970s. When that happened I was so broken up. After that I decided to seek God for my life and my next marriage.

I would like it to be known that I have decided not to marry Group Capt. Peter Townsend. Mindful of the church's teaching that Christian marriage is indissoluble and conscious of my duty to the Commonwealth I have resolved to put these considerations before any others.

The way that same-sex marriage should reach the federal level is that it absolutely should be decided by the Supreme Court as quickly as possible. It's a 14th Amendment issue. There's no argument about it.

How I Love Lucy was born? We decided that instead of divorce lawyers profiting from our mistakes we'd profit from them.

Being yourself is one of the hardest things because it's scary. You always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are. I decided to call my record 'Inside Out' because that's my motto about life. I don't think you ever succeed at trying to be anyone else but who you truly are.
