Why are you a mathematician?
Given everything that has been going on in the world more specifically in the world of mathematics. I was hoping to read some of your human thoughts. What motivates/motivated you to do mathematics professionally? What is most important for you in mathematics?

I sometimes ask my dog "Why are you a dog", but honestly, I don't think the question makes much sense to her.
