I really learned to approach climbing not just with a pure athletic mentality, but also to appreciate all these beautiful places we get to go to.

The best climbers have the will to hold on. They won't give up and keep trying over and over.

One of the things that separates climbing from other sports is how independent and personal it is. With most sports, you either win or lose, but climbing is about your own personal experience.

The rock still has something to teach me.

That's what's so amazing about climbing - it's not just a sport. It's a lifestyle, it's a way of being creative, of connecting with yourself and with nature.

Keep it fun. Don't take it too seriously. At the same time, when you do feel inspired, take it seriously, too.

With climbing you can go to the most beautiful places on the planet and practice. Anywhere there is rock, you can climb.

They kind of go hand-in-hand. Following your motivation, resting when you need to rest, and going for it when you feel inspired.

There's a balance. Time and place for everything.

There are strong people who aren't able to climb. It's about reading the rock, knowing how to position your body and having the tenacity to not let go.

I think I'm a pretty creative person. I love building things. I love working on my house. Landscaping, stuff like that.

A happy heart is the beauty of being.

Your dreams are desperately counting on you to introduce them to their realities.

When you're corked...you're corked!

I like to see you in a sari, with your long hair dressed in a single plait. Don't forget that I married a girl from India because I like my wife to be conservative and feminine.

A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves.

Personally, I don't think there's intelligent life on other planets. Why should other planets be any different from this one?

Colorblind racism is the new racial music most people dance to, the 'new racism' is subtle, institutionalized and seemingly nonracial.

God put this game last, and it's just like putting a cherry on top of your Sundae.

See things as you would have them be, instead of as they are.

People often ask me when there's going to be a Mrs. Zach Braff. It's a confusing question sometimes because many people don't realize that my mother is named Mrs. Zach Braff.
