We approach people the same way we approach our cars. We take the poor kid to a doctor and ask, What’s wrong with him, how much will it cost, and when can I pick him up? – James Hillman
For a long time, I thought I would like to be a doctor. Such a good profession. So explicitly good. Never a waste of time. – Jonathan Safran Foer
If you went to Harvard Medical School, chances are you’ll be a doctor at some place. There’s a career trajectory. Acting, there’s nothing. It’s constantly trying to procure jobs – it’s very disconcerting. – Jesse Eisenberg
It’s amazing how you meet people through other people. I knew a racecar driver, Stefan Johansson, who was very hot. He introduced me to Jean Todt. He introduced me to a French doctor. He introduced me to a French architect who redid the Louvre with I.M. Pei. He introduced me to Daniel Boulud. – James Rosenquist
‘Celebrity’ is sort of an idea. I mean, I get to do something extraordinary, but I don’t think it makes me extraordinary. That’s my opinion. I like to be an artist; I like to do things that are involved in the arts, but I don’t think it makes me more special than a doctor, for example. A doctor is an extraordinary person. – Justin Timberlake
I was obsessed with romance. When I was in high school, I saw ‘Doctor Zhivago’ every day from the day it opened until the day it left the theater. – John Hughes
People come up to me in airports, they walk into the office, and they say, ‘I’m going to cry; I’m going to pass out.’ And I say, ‘Please don’t pass out; I’m not a doctor.’ – John Lewis
My dad, coming from a very traditional family, always wanted me to be a doctor. So he would always ask me, ‘What are you going to be when you grow up?’ And I’d have to say ‘Dr. Chen.’ – Jane Chen
I wanted to be a doctor at one point and I also wanted to be a pilot. I think if you grow up in a dodgy area, reality often beats down those ambitions as you get older. But with me that never really happened. – James McAvoy
If you’re taking an antidepressant, it’s working, and you’re not experiencing side effects, go on taking it. But if it’s not working, or not working well enough, or if you have side effects you don’t like, talk to your doctor about an alternative approach. – Irving Kirsch
I’ve done a couple of conferences where you sit and sign autographs for people, and then you have photographs taken with them and a lot of them all dressed up in alien suits or ‘Doctor Who’ whatevers. I was terrified of doing it because I thought they’d all be loonies, but they are absolutely, totally charming as anything. It’s great fun. – John Hurt
I told my doctor I get very tired when I go on a diet, so he gave me pep pills. Know what happened? I ate faster. – Joe E. Lewis
A doctor today would never prescribe the treatments my grandfather used in the Confederate Army, but a minister says pretty much the same thing today that a minister would have said back then. – John Templeton
Anything that could be conceived of that would separate black people from white people was devised and codified by someone in some state in the South. There were colored and White waiting rooms everywhere, from doctor’s offices to the bus stations, as people may already know. – Isabel Wilkerson
Every time I went to the doctor when I was in my twenties, he repeated the same thing to me: don’t wait too long to have children. – Janine di Giovanni
It wasn’t until I got involved in ‘Doctor Who’ that I started doing dramas on television. – John Barrowman
Even when I’m playing a lawyer or a doctor, I want to play a person. A human being. – J. August Richards
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. – John Forbes Nash, Jr.
I started modeling at 28. I’m 5-feet-7 1/2, and I never went on a diet. I followed what my doctor told me: ‘It’s good to have a little bit of fat. Your weight is fine. Don’t go any lighter.’ – Isabella Rossellini
Not as many people watch ‘Doctor Who’ as watch the Super Bowl, obviously, but the tropes that attract nerds are no longer a secret cult. It’s a much larger culture, in the specific sense. – John Hodgman
Your face tells a story and it shouldn’t be a story about your drive to the doctor’s office. – Julia Roberts
‘Doctor Who’ is the most original science-fiction television series ever made. It is also one of the longest-running television shows of all time. – Jill Lepore
As a medical doctor, it is my duty to evaluate the situation with as much data as I can gather and as much expertise as I have and as much experience as I have to determine whether or not the wish of the patient is medically justified. – Jack Kevorkian
I never set out to be a journalist. I wanted to be a humanitarian doctor like Albert Schweitzer, working in Africa. – Janine di Giovanni
If a black doctor discovers a cure for cancer, ain’t no hospital going to lock him out. – Jesse Jackson
I don’t want anybody between a doctor and a patient – not an insurance company bureaucrat or a Washington bureaucrat. – John Barrasso
I have to tell you as a doctor, 25 years of practice, not as a politician using talking points, as somebody who has taken care of Medicare patients, we can make it a lot better. – John Barrasso
Anytime you interfere with a natural process, you’re playing God. God determines what happens naturally. That means when a person’s ill, he shouldn’t go to a doctor because he’s asking for interference with God’s will. But of course, patients can’t think that way. – Jack Kevorkian
