Being a psychologist did enable me to maintain objectivity.

Perfect objectivity is always impossible, no matter who writes a person's biography.

The work of a psychotherapist involves being empathic and insightful with one's patients without getting too lost in their painful stories to be helpful.

I loved my life, but my choices were overloading and overwhelming me. Listening to inner feelings and fulfilling some of these urges when they come along is incredibly important.

The notion of a contemporary epiphany to me is very exciting, because it's a sort of biblical thing. It's something that has happened to people in other centuries or in the context of religious experience.

We have a couple of dogs, but I wouldn't describe myself as an animal person.
