“I'm a true believer in the strength of teamwork, in the power of dream...” — Julie Payette Quote

I'm a true believer in the strength of teamwork, in the power of dreams.

I was a flight engineer on my second flight, which is the most senior position a non-American can have aboard the shuttle. We're the cockpit crew. We fly the vehicle up to space, dock the vehicle to the space station, undock it at the end of the mission, and return it to the ground.

I learned that you have to be careful about how you say things but not what you say.

My son, Laurier, and I love being outdoors. We like to ski and to skate, to play in the snow, and simply to walk and enjoy the winter scenery.

I am convinced that anyone can accomplish anything.

The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.

Society sets us up to be everything but ourselves, but I want to take a moment and say to people, love yourself. Find your purpose. You are unique, and that makes you great. I pursued my dreams. You can do it, too.

Instead of saying steps or goals I'm always trying to achieve little dreams.

Everyone has their dreams and their rise and their own version of a fall from grace.

Memories have huge staying power, but like dreams, they thrive in the dark, surviving for decades in the deep waters of our minds like shipwrecks on the sea bed.
