"I've never made a penny being a doctor, so that makes it not a job. My sense of a doctor is that one is a presence caring for health. So I'm never not a doctor. People call me from all over the world who are hurting, and I care for them. Chatting is what more people want than anything."

And any society which attempts to hold back or impede this dimension of self-expression, when the history of that society is written, it will be called barbarous."
