I’ve always felt that, when I looked at my tombstone, it shouldn’t say, ‘Mehmet Oz banged out 10,000 open-heart operations.’ I’ve probably done 5,000. Am I any better at it than 10,000? It’s just a different number on the tombstone.

Additional quotes by Mehmet Oz

The great thing about America is that you can hold on to whatever heritage you come from. We celebrate the different cultures, so I had the privilege, as the son of immigrant parents, to grow up American while staying deeply in touch with my Turkish roots. I have a great deal of family back in Turkey, I lived there for a period as a boy and I served in the Turkish military, which is compulsory for dual citizenship.

The reality is that our brains are completely dependent on the nutrients we put in our body. I would never trust someone to make those food decisions for me. I'd always carry my food in my pocket. That's why I advocate nuts, which you can put in your pocket, no one will know it. If you soak your nuts it's even better because they get moisture and you can enjoy them, they feel like a regular meal.
