I am a person who dreads any kind of public exposure and any kind of public event. I spend all day, if I have to do a reading, preparing.

I am a chatty person, but colossally discreet.

I am so disturbed by kids who spend all day playing videogames.

Students teach all sorts of things but most importantly they make explicit the courage that it takes to be a learner, the courage it takes to open yourself to the transformative power of real learning and that courage I am exposed to almost every day at MIT and that I'm deeply grateful for.

At the end of the day, I stand by who I am. I'm a good person.

I am an Armani and a Dolce & Gabbana kind of a person.
