I like hard work. I like putting the effort towards it and then being able to look at it and go, "All right, I did that."

I'd love to get pajamas. Good, nice and warm flannel ones.

I don't think you can create anything interesting from a comfort zone. You have to work from a place of fear and failure.

If they ever do my life story, whoever plays me needs lots of hair color and high heels.

I think, like many women, I was judgmental toward women as they aged.

I love being a woman and I love being feminine.

We all understand situations where it's swim or drown. Sometimes we surprise ourselves when we start swimming and see how well we can do it.

You choose the life you want for yourself, and then you just shut up and go about it. That's how I've lived my life.

There is also this benefit in brag, that the speaker is unconsciously expressing his own ideal. Humor him by all means, draw it all out, and hold him to it.

I would prefer you not to say, "That was the most terribly written piece I've ever read." That would hurt me. But you don't think I'm the best person in the world? Well, alright.

I prefer to imagine that my wife, a few friends, and occasionally my mom are the only ones who read what I do, though I realize that this is somewhat unrealistic.

It ain't braggin' if you really done it.

It seems the public in Europe has not yet learnt that most girls in India today go to school.

Also, I had not yet found out about time; I was still under the illusion that I had plenty of time - time for this, time for that, time for everything, time to waste.

I know that the whole point—the only point—is to find the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go.

Only buy something that you'd be perfectly happy to hold if the market shut down for 10 years.
