Quotation

In seventh grade, we were asked ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ and I remember writing, ‘I want to be a psychologist.' My father fought in Vietnam and has pretty severe PTSD, so that always fascinated me — what makes people tick, what about the brain makes people act the way they do, what’s behavioral and genetic, what goes right and what goes wrong.”
