Always wanted to be an actress or work with animals and now I get to do both.

I get paid to not laugh.

Child care is an invisible part of the economy.

I will not campaign for any party.

For a lot of people, one of the reasons they don't like to work for founders of startups is that they can be sensitive and protective around what they've built.

I'll never turn down a red velvet cupcake.

There are enough stories about my family. We have all been in the public eye.

Science means constantly walking a tightrope between blind faith and curiosity; between expertise and creativity; between bias and openness; between experience and epiphany; between ambition and passion; and between arrogance and conviction - in short, between an old today and a new tomorrow.
