“Iâ€™m not going to let my insecurities keep me from having a good time. I think that if you donâ€™t loose your self-consciousness, you canâ€™t really be present in a situation. For example, if youâ€™re at The Louvre, but youâ€™re thinking about how much you hate your jeans, youâ€™re not really at The Louvre. So in your memory, when you look back, youâ€™re always going to be like, â€œI was wearing those jeans I hatedâ€. And youâ€™re not going to remember anything else.”

“In my own research when I'm working with equations, I never feel like I really understand what I'm doing if I'm solely relying on the mathematics for my understanding. I need to have a visual picture in my mind. I'm constantly translating from the math to some intuitive mind's-eye picture.”
“If you want to remember yourself, the best thing is not to think about yourself. As long as you think about yourself, you will not remember yourself.”
