The Best Advice I Can Give Anybody Is To Try To Understand Who You Are And What You Want To Do, And Don't Be Afraid To Go Down That Road And Do Whatever It Takes And Work As Hard As You Have To Work To Achieve That.

I Never Went Into Physics Or The Astronaut Corps To Become A Role Model. But After My First Flight, It Became Clear To Me That I Was One. And I Began To Understand The Importance Of That To People.

One Thing I Probably Share With Everyone Else In The Astronaut Office Is Composure.
