And so I have to think about how I would answer to my ancestors for the life that I'm living. And that drives me every day." - Sarah Marshall(00:08:48) "My body betrayed me. And it betrayed me because internally, since I was very young, I knew that I was a girl, but my body was taking me in a, in the wrong direction as I went into early adulthood." - Sarah Marshall" - Sarah Marshall(00:15:04) "I knew that I had to transition." - Sarah Marshall(00:18:11) "It's super interesting to be what everybody thinks is a success of that successful man. Look how great they are. And then realizing that that wasn't sufficient, that I actually had to be this person, regardless of what I would lose in the process." - Sarah Marshall(00:28:14) "The reason why I was so separate is because I wasn't putting my arms down and letting the world come in. I was busy keeping the world at bay." - Sarah Marshall" - Sarah Marshall(00:34:07) "I've always had that kind of. When this new thing comes and it looks like a challenge or it looks like something that I need to deal with, how am I going to turn this into an opportunity for myself?" - Sarah Marshall(00:40:30) "Am I making a difference for someone every day? Am I, by virtue of the things I'm involved with, leaving a durable improvement, something that makes that job, that business, that organization, that community? Am I leaving something that's better? And then finally, am I growing? Am I pushing my own envelope from the things that I'm engaged with? And if I do those two, three things every day, I'm a pretty happy camper no matter what I'm doing." - Sarah Marshall" - Sarah Marshall
